Tsiroanomandidy Photo

Photographer’s Note

Tsiroanomandidy is a charming town to the west of Antananarivo, where I worked for two weeks - it's very hot and dry, but the countryside is beautiful.

In this picture, near the centre, you can just make out three spires - the taller pointy one is the Protestant church; the two others are the Catholic church. I'm very annoyed at having forgotten to photograph the Catholic church, because it was really beautiful.

Hi, Matt. Greetings from Atlanta!

I like this photo; exposure and color are good, and the sky is very dramatic.

You might want to try moving your horizon off dead center. The vegetation does a nice job of carrying the eye to focal point on the horizon, but there really isn't anything to latch on to at the end. This same shot closer to one of the church spires might have made it even more dramatic. If you are not familiar with the photographer's "rule of thirds" take a look at tutorial something like http://www.silverlight.co.uk/tutorials/compose_expose/thirds.html
