Alpine meadow

[Ben Egbert]

On my way back from the flower fields I spotted this scene that begged to be shot. Not many flowers here, but I liked the way they made a lead in and the meadow and mountain with some friar light.

I took a vertical and horizontal, like to hear your preference. Any other CC welcome as well.

Both are very nice but I like the vertical because you are closer to the flowers, Ben.

 

[AlanLichty]

Nice scene - I like the wider view in the first image.

 

[Beth]

both are very nice, but the second one is my favorite. the comp. is tighter and the flowers are a great foreground element.

Ben,
Fantastic shots. Love that 2nd one

 

[JimFox]

Wow Ben! Great thing you stopped! I really like both of these, and I will choose the vertical as my favorite. Though #1 is still really great, but I will give the edge to #2.

Nice imaging, Ben. I like the second landscape orientation because it shows the sway of the land.

 

[Alisa]

I really like the second image!! so beautiful!

 

[Bart Carrig]

Same here, #2 for the preference. What a beautiful spot. It really conveys the feeling of being there. Thanks for the transport.

#2 for me as well.. I think it gets you more immediately involved in the scene.
Very Nice Ben

#2 for me -- much tighter composition

Thanks Alan, I guess you and I are alone in preferring the wider view.

Agree with the second being my favourite, I like the more concentrated view and the way the BG mountain fills the frame better Best regards,

[Doug P]

I agree the portrait orientation for my taste. But I seem to shoot in that mode a ton. I am always surprised when I get home how many of my captures are vertical! Long live the mighty l bracket

Second for me as well.
