Portraits of Crex Meadows
Friends, i received a new lens and need to try it out on landscapes. Now I have always considered landscapes of Crex Meadows to be rather uninteresting. The land and the water are very flat and i think that landscapes should reveal layers of color as the eye travels back into the distance with a clear foreground element. This first image is of phantom lake and the second of a willow flat both leading into a cumulus sky. I like the second image because the willows are the foreground leading into the sky, but in the first image I have no clear foreground element and the horizon is dead center. Which image works for you? til Tomorrow MJ

So do I.
so I am with the crowd, the first image, but maybe like Bob I would have had more sky, which is rather striking …
I pick the first too, but I think I would have shown more sky and less of the water in the forground. The clouds seem to be the best subject.
My preference is the first image.
I find the first one more appealing to the eye…. but they’re both good!
I also like the first. There is something about the blue stripes in the foreground that is peaceful and beautiful.
I prefer the first image.
