Rowena Dawn I Photo

Photographer’s Note

Rowena Crest in Oregon at dawn. The Columbia River is in the background. On top of this crest it is extremely windy. I don't have a single photo from the early morning that isn't partially blurry. Later, as the sun came up, shutter speeds increased and I was able to get some sharper shots.

Hi Ben,

Nice composition of the Columbia River Valley. I like the flow of flowers up into the river. Depth of field is nice. Text on image detracts. But still a beautiful shot. Thanks.

The colors captured here are amazing, your depth of field using the flowers is also great. Good Job.

Hello Ben,

Excellent light management, perspective and composition. Like the distribution of tones and colours...you're a real nature trekker!

Hello Ben,

The lightis beautiful and the composition too. I like the foreground : these flowers are driving the eye to the river and then to this dark sky.
You should add a frame and write your text on it instead of on the photo.

I prefere this one over the most recent upload. The variation of different kind of flowers and the Columbia River in the background with the matching opening in the sky make this image much more interesting to look at. Good work, both of them.
