Really weak category. Only two entries, both of which were sorta f/8
and be there-type photos.... 1st - Wish that the photographer had
taken some chances to make a different picture there other than what
was given… Maybe they could’ve waded into the water, worked a
reflection, or just brought the camera down to water level to make a
better composed photo rather than the straightforward shot they
made. 2nd - Super pedestrian angle, showing no real skill by the
photographer. You’ve got smoke, a beautiful sky, cool trees, even if
nothing is happening moment wise… go work that… Get closer. Or at
least out of the car….
