Alignment
This image was taken at Greenbriar in the Smokies. It was an exercise in alignment and composition. But first it had to be an interesting topic. My objective was to get an interesting foreground, mid-ground, and background aligned in an interesting fashion. I was walking over a grouping of large boulders and saw this “V” pointing to a small waterfall. I moved around to get the “V” positioned right, stood tall, then got down on my hands and knees to get the right perspective to capture a reflection in the water captured on the rock. The scene had a high dynamic range so I bracketed the exposure. I then combined 2 of the images in Photoshop keeping the brightness up on the rocks and shadows without blowing out the bright white water of the falls.
This was a fun image to capture and work with.
