cave, salt and cactus Photo

Photographer’s Note

A last photo from Isla del Pescado, located in the middle of Uyuni salt flat. This rocky "island" is covered with cactus and it has some fossil reefs. Nowadays this area is around 3,700 meters above sea level but in the past it was under the ocean. We found this arch-cave made of stone, one of the many beautiful things to see in this marvelous place.

Buena combinacion de sobras y luces con el cielo azul como extra. Me gusta mucho el encuadre que le diste usando la forma de la cueva. Muy buena composicion. Buen trabajo.

Jorge, I like your idea and the way you've framed the bright desert. But your horizon is so crooked, it ruins things. Also a strange grey line on the horizon. I have posted a workshop to show you how it could have looked.

Hello Jorge,
A nice picture of these cactus. A bit over exposed on the center, but not really esay when the light is so different. I like also the frame made by the cave.
Well done.
Salutations
Jacques

Olá Jorge,
Excelente ideia esta de escolher esta moldura natural para enquadrar estes bonitos cactos.
A luminosidade está boa e as cores do céu muito bonitas.

Funny, I took the same picture when I was there, I'l post it sometime... but yeah, your horizon is off, so that could be improved. Also seems a bit pixelated.. noticed most on horizon again. great place though eh, a cave with a view, most certainly.

Hello
Interesting composition. Nice framing and good light. But I don`t like the tilted horizon :).
