The latest Digital Photographer magazine printed a pic I submitted in their Reader's Gallery section:

I was tempted to post something of a trollish nature...however, that is on beautiful picture. Congratulations! |
I'm no expert and I dont play one on TV, but I like the first cropped version better. That is an outstanding capture (either way IMO). <<< Wants a 1D MarkIIn and lots of "L" glass... Mark. |

| The 1/3 rule is nice and all, but frankly I think the cropped pictures look horrible. You're cutting off the peaks of the mountains or the peaks in the mountains' reflections. The 1/3 rule is a suggestion, not a hard and fast rule and not to put too fine a point on it, but I didn't ask for you to "fix" my picture. Go take your own the way you want it. |

the 1/3rd rule is great, when the horizon separates the subject from background. here the horizon is the middle of the subject, which is below and above the horizon. Having it framed in the middle focuses the subject(s) Its a rule of thumb, and most mountain/reflection pictures I have seen published place the horizon in the middle. Details focal length, camera, ISO, shutter aperture, lense, etc... |
+1 and I don't think the rule of thirds applies here. This discussion reminds me of this commentary. See the second pic on this page. |
I agree on the addiction... almost addicting as this site, or maybe even more. I got a Canon PS S3 IS for Christmas and I love it, I just wish I had a class to take to teach me more about photography and how to use the options on the camera accurately. That pic is absolutely beautiful, btw. Great job!  Jess |

RikWriter Congrats on getting your photo published. I think it looks great ....AS IS. I know what an honor it must be.herand then had his own studio for years after that. He had an opportunity to work for National Geographic but passed it up for (family) reasons. |
