Hard to decide. Lump of a Bison or lump of rocks

Looking back to 2010 when I was trying to apply compositional rules, one of which was using foreground elements. Shot on cycling trips to Alpine Bavaria. The first from Konigsee in Berchestgaden one of my favourite places. Looking back at the first image I can see that, in terms of composition, that I got almost everything wrong. What a place, what beautiful light, look at the elements that I had to play with and I got it this badly wrong. Boat sailing out of the image and too small, wooden piers far to prominent and the closest one too near to the edge of the frame. The boat came into the pier that I was standing on but I didn't take any more shots of it. In all of my trips back I have never managed to get such good conditions. If Covid allows I will return, but not on a bike this time. Ken

Dan, interesting foreground rocks in your second image—very nice, and the bison doesn’t seem to mind your prescence.

Ken, it does appear to be a very “shootable” area you’ve captured—nice.

Alan, nice images all—particularly like the Japanese Garden, Antelope Canyon, and cabin image. My favorite perhaps is the Mobius Arch for this task.

Jeffrey, very, very nice images all—I especially favor your first two—and can’t decide between them. Your last capture is beautiful as well.

Jameel, these images are well seen and captured (nice reflections too)—your second image is my favorite, I love how the foreground rock resembles the one on the horizon in color and even in shape a bit.

Kyle, all three are perfect images for this task—and are well conceived and captured. I especially like the first image’s well-placed stone in the night sky. The Abraham Lake with foreground ice bubbles is my favorite. Glad to see your participation (and images) again.

Interesting images, I like the soft light and reflections in your first image. A unique foreground In your second image, did you shoot the cars only with your camera?
