 The changes I made for this picture included changing the crop and attempting to minimize the amount of blown-out sky.  I still feel like the sky is too blown-out, but I am not sure how to fix it still.

For this photograph I lowered the brightness to get rid of the blown-out leaf tips.  I also changed the crop just a bit.

Both of the above photographs are edited.  The top one I posted last week as a normal blog post, but I edited it a bit more and would like your critiques.  The bottom photograph is slightly edited, but I didn't want to get too crazy with it.

A Photography Adventure

Each of these pictures is one I took this week on a short adventure to Red Lodge.  They are unedited currently, but I will post edited versions next week.

 For this photo, I tried to capture the oranges of the tree leaves along with Rock Creek.  I also tried to position the river along the upper third line.

 Because this plant is red, it really captured my eye.  It was difficult to photograph because it was breezy, so it will definitely need some editing.

 I tried to capture the beautiful sunset in this photo, but it definitely does not do it justice.  I will most likely edit out the tree on the right side and brighten the red hues to make it look more like what I saw that night.  I also tried to position my horizon on the lower third line.

For this photograph I tried to capture all of the colors that were visible in the forest that day.  I will need to brighten up the shadows to bring more attention to the red leaves, which were my primary subject.
