West Fork of the Hood River
July 17

We made a loop up around Mt. Hood today, hoping it would be cooler up in the mountains....hahahaha!
I liked this shot of the river, of mine, because of the reflection....something you don't often see in fast running water.

Lawn's shots are of the NW side of Mt. Hood and, as you can see, there is very little snow left.


Lawn's Pad's for July 17
He couldn't decided if he liked the horizontal shot, #1, or the vertical shot, #2, so he asked that
everyone who'd like to, comment on which version they like the best....personally, I like the horizontal shot.

Nikon D100
1/250s f/11.0 at 44.0mm ISO 200 full exif

Laryl, thanks for the careful evaluation. Now I know why I seemed to be drawn to the vertical myself. Your comments are exactly why I put them both up. Good thing I know right where that spot is (we marked it on our maps) so I can try a horizontal with a bit more angle, matbe even a shot taken from a bit higher in the air. Thanks again for all the comments from all of you. Lawn

while the horizontal is a nice shot, it's too centered and the logs are demanding too much attention, my choice would be the vertical because you have a more clear foreground, middle ground and background subject, with the objects leading the eye in defined diagonal up thru the image without getting 'stuck' on the dark stumps going straight up the middle, as in the horizontal. Perhaps being from the area, Mt Hood needs to be the subject most carefully featured, and the vertical achieves that best imho :)

The horizontal one would be my choice. A beautiful shot of the river with that deep blue triangle. Looks like you had a productive weekend.

A special place indeed.

I like horizontal one best. I love your reflection. Just the thought of Mt. Hood makes me cooler.
