Thanks Sadja for responding to my core question. I did not do a grid overlay because its very hard to draw freehand with a mouse and while I once knew how to do one in photoshop at one time it was so complicated I forgot.
You are correct, this scene will never work until I get a sky as shown in the attached image. Then I think it will be pretty nice. No Marroon Bells or Canadian Rockies, but still nice and a place I have access too.
I Need to be prepared for that. My trips help me figure out light, times of season, and composition.
I am only asking for help with comp, you folks need to get past what it looks like in practice shots and try to visualize it with dramatic light.
I think my prior post got me some advice on what to do. I did it and now I am trying to get some feedback on what I did. I think my recent effort is an improvement to composition over my first effort.
Sadja, I suspect you just don\'t like Grand Vistas. That\'s just a valid personal choice, not a condemnation of the type.
