Canyon Pleb X

[surenj]

To quote Gerry, there were lots of plebs around in Canyon X for the sunrise! I think Brent has really popularised this spot big time!

I had some plans to introduce a pleb or two the landscape to scale, anchor and break the general flow...

Gerry pressed the shutter just at the right time after positioning me in the picture. Perhaps the copyright is his???


In-built pleb


in-built pleb simply won't stand still.



I'd like some C&C as to whether the plebs add anything at all in addition to the usual critera....

Thanks for looking.

I think the pleb in the first is the best although I'm also fond of the pleb in the second (even if the body position is not fab). If anything you're perhaps a little too small in the first - not sure yet it may grow on me...

One thing with the first image though is that small reflection on the left - normally I really like reflections but this one initially looked like flare or something like water on the lens before I did a double take - perhaps cloning or cut the left cm off??

I think the pleb in the third possibly detracts from this image (for multiple reasons - position, blur and even the stance - it looks kinda awkward).

I agree with Rodney on the first wanting the light portion of the refection altered or removed

I like teh first image good water movement and the person does add some interest - my only gripe would be the size of the person, you get a bit lost in the detail, possibly moving up closer to the camera on that shelf might have increased the focal point. Nonetheless I like this shot - and the copyright is all yours as far as I am concerned, a monkey could have pressed the shutter.

Actually this shot would have been perfect for a fisherman - that would be great context with the water movement!


The second shot is strong, you have done everything right here, a solid leading line with some cannon fodder in teh foreground for a bit of interest then the pleb followed by the sun, if only it came to the party a bit more! A bit more sky and a straight horizon would also help

The third image - cursed pleb needs less coffee, in this one the person takes away from the image.

In all the images, i could just be my end, however a bit of selective/global warmth might help.

Remote Shutter Release!!!!!

In general I do not like people in landscape shots unless they are adding context to the shot, such as a fisherman, or scale, like hikers on a glacier. In these three it just looks like there was someone who would not get out of the way of the shot.
