p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Virgin River in Zion


A long exposure of the Virgin River in Zion National Park (Utah) in early morning. Had to stack a couple of NDs and stop all the way down. This is on the Riverside Walk Trail on the way to the Narrows.

Hey Scott,

You have some really nice reflected color in the water but the grasses poking into the scene from the lower right corner are super distracting and need to go. It's best to avoid them in the composition in the first place, but when you can't, then clone them out or use Content Aware fill. The back wall has a hot area that should be toned down. Do a little bit more work and this will be a pretty cool shot.

Jim

Thanks Jim. I was thinking of cloning out the grass but I thought it lended a feeling of being "surrounded" by the greenery and looking over the water. I'll definitely consider cloning it out if I use the shot in a portfolio.

Nice imaging, Scott. Not sure why you 'had' to use ND'a and stop down.

It was pretty sunny down in the canyon and so I had to use the NDs to slow down the exposure to get the water effect.
