shiny distle Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo has been taken at the dike of Katwoude at the IJsselmeer! I like the way the sunbeams fill this photo up, and the part that is 'eaten'by one sunbeam.

I made this photo from a 1meter lower part.
the mode of the camera was Black&white

what could I have done to improve this picture?
thanks beforehand

Your Portfolio is very rich of good subjects and I have liked a lot of it. You seem not being so far to a further step leading to a good photograph level, I mean, the framings and some choices like in last one to have very good lines offered but uncomplete subject at the bottom of the picture.
Here you have a good subject to do and there is nothing to say about the framing but a lot to the over exposition of some parts.
This is a very difficult thing to do...
I would suggest to accept to have de plant darker and definitly make the focus on the left part of the picture - then take a few step behing keeping the zoom on this framing - your lens must also keep looking at left so the sun is not coming directly but from the side. Now then you will be less exposed and have a detailed picture from the plants.. and may be no white circle at the bottom.
expecting having helped.

Hola Mathias, un contraluz muy difícil y a mi entender bien resuelto. He intentado hacer alguna ocasión algo parecido y el resultado no me ha gustado, sin embargo tu composición me parece muy buena.

Felicidades y un abrazo........... Paco
