Foggy Buzzards

[dlb1117]

I've seen the buzzards roosting on the power line before, but the fog was new. I had to stand in the back of my truck on the side of the road to get the shot. I like the result but wish I could have gotten more intense color. It seems that more pink was present in the viewfinder.



How could I have gotten more intense color?
And, now that I've taken the picture, how can I enhance the colors?

Maybe Im not the one who should tell something (I'm still a beginner).
But I think u have put the subject of ur creation too much in the middle of the scene.

The subject has less importance than the closer plants.In fact my eyes go there first and then they go to the fog.

Next time time try to put the subject of ur creation ( when u want to create a pic, u have to think about what u want to show [the fog] and the best subject where focus the scene [the pylon]) away from the precise center of the pic.

For this argument try to look for master composition.

I hope I've given u right suggestions..

You did make me realize something. I was initially focused on the buzzards (which were really irrelevant) and missed the beauty of the powerline vanishing into the fog.
I wasn't sure if I should crop the plants from the foreground.
thanks

I think the plants are simply perfect there.Try to put the focus more on the subject and less on the other details.
U have to capture the viewer in the main subject and then let him go to the rest of ur composition and the smallest details.

The focus is where the viewer HAS to look for something interesting/beatiful/amazing/main.

That's why u have to put in ur scene good details but not too much details on it, because too much details will decrease the interest in the main subject.
