Another image of wetlands in heavy morning fog. This version, made close to where the PAD from two days ago was made - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/103939651 - falls short of the earlier PAD IMO. The previous PAD had a prominent visual element in the foreground (cattails less than 3 feet from the lens and filling a large portion of the picture space). Without such an anchor, the eye is left to wander too much without a resting place (again IMO). The cattail anchor also reinforces the notion of depth (here the illusion of depth is almost entirely due to the eye recognizing that things fading in mist & haze are farther away). In today's PAD, in order to get an effect similar to the cattails, I should have gone down over the bank (into some shallow water) and put that goldenrod in the lower left very close to the lens. Losing 10 feet in elevation would have also lost the mid ground which I didn't want to do. Compromised by putting something visually dominant (yellow & in focus) close up in a corner and pointing (sort of) into the scene - but the compromise resulted in a weaker image than the previous PAD. Composition 101 - self critique.
