Desolate  by mej2011

Desolate

Went on a little photo adventure at a nearby lake.

Editing consisted of black and white effect in Picnik.
Oooh, very artsyfartsy !!! Fav for me, such a minimalistic composition. I think you could crop this to exact square, I feel the centered horizon works well in square crops. The trees should fit quite nicely too within the frame

Cool comp. If it were me, and I know you're thinking "here he goes again about the colour" but I would have left it colour but desaturated so that the colour lacks impact, but still offers a little something. It doesn't look desolate to me.

Interesting, I have to disagree though. To me, to show something as being lifeless, you have to get rid of color (not colour lol). In my mind, color means life.....

@mej2011 I agree that colour = life and vitality yet even a dead man will still have colour. What I meant was that there is too many trees in the background for this to ever be desolate. It is a lovely scene and a washed out look may reinforce how desolate you feel it is???

Nope, I'm sticking with B&W.

Crap! I'm sorry I missed this one - it's a fav for me. Very artistic and great choice in B&W. Although now I'm curious as to what it would look like desaturated:)
