A shot from yesterday's hike along the Eagle Trail Loop at Emerald Bay, South Lake Tahoe. Any C&C welcome, appreciated, and encouraged as I am not experienced with landscapes! Used a GND for the the first time, and must say it is an amazing tool.

Hi Ilya,

That is a cool area from what I have heard, I still need to go explore it one day. I like what you were trying to do with those steps as they make good leading lines. But I think the polarizer was adjusted too much as the upper left corner is too dark for me and it actually pulls down what should be some cool colorful clouds. Do you have any shots where you adjusted the polarizer a little less intense? Also one more thought would be to crop maybe 2 steps off the bottom, even if you have to go to a 4:5 format, that will let the stairs start at the lower right and the eye can follow it straight up to the upper left to the clouds.

Jim

Jim, thanks for the critique! I dont have any less-polarized shots (I tend to get heavy handed with my CPL)...but I will definitely try the 4:5 crop =).
