    I like the 3rd picture better; it is well symmetrically balanced by the background mountains, rule of third is well applied with good but not too much foreground, the sky is taking the first horizontal place of the rule and the background mountains are clearly on each side of the grid. Tim, your main subject, hero of this amazing picture, stands proudly wearing green and orange palette...greeting the beautiful sunrise. I really love the entire video, showing the reality and beauty of your journey. Well done!

    Tim, You keep outdoing yourself and at this rate you’re going to have to head to the moon. All of the images are absolutely outstanding, but pressed I’m going with number 3. Truly fantastic work!

  • @markvermeulen6397
    @markvermeulen6397 Před 4 lety +6

    Thank you Tim for those amazing photos! Number 1 caught my eye immediately and while I love the others, keeping going back to that. I really am taken by the colors in the sky and how that plays off the entire frame. Also, the lines leading up the slope on the left along with the contrasting green slopes on the right just beautiful!

  • @debschense7541
    @debschense7541 Před 4 lety +1

    #2 Because the grass side is a bit lighter and there are people in the picture. (Person with blue jacket). For me it adds interest. Plus the buildings.

  • @philconstans1898

    When comparing images as good as these, it's like, deciding who's your favorite child when you love them all. They are that good. I love all of the images equally. I just can't decide. If I had to decide which one of the images to choose from to put on my living room wall and I only had one space, I would be changing the images daily. That's how good they really are.

    @shannonp7911 Před 4 lety +2

    • @TimShieldsPhotography
      @TimShieldsPhotography  Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks Shannon. Photo three has the most foreground, but the trade off is that the peaks look further away. But foreground tells the story better. Good comment!

    @donnamcculloch1795 Před 4 lety +1

    • @TimShieldsPhotography
      @TimShieldsPhotography  Před 4 lety

      Thank you Donna! The third shot had the most foreground which was a little better for the storytelling, but the trade off is that the peaks are smaller in the frame. It's great to hear from you!

    Great location and I just added it on my Bucket list! For me, photo no.1 makes the cut as it keeps the eye on the peaks, while still having the mountain hut on the right to give dimension. Great stuff!

    @johannhornigold Před 4 lety

  • @blondegirlphotographer1116

    #3. I also like how the green enhances the spectacular light and as you said has foreground, middle, and background . One could really spend time in front of this print. Congratulations on a fantastic adventure and photo. Great video.

  • @shanekrajic7167

  • @renoditullio6560
    @renoditullio6560 Před 4 lety +1

    What a gorgeous location, Tim! Probably #3 for me, although #2 is a beauty too. Two nit's though, the white cloud on left edge is an eye catcher, and both #2 & #3 seem a little tight on on the top of the frame; I would like a little more room for the very top of the mountain. Most excellent, though.

    • @TimShieldsPhotography
      @TimShieldsPhotography  Před 4 lety

      Hi Reno, you are very right in saying the peaks need a bit more headroom. I had to crop the images at 16x9 to get them to fit the CZcams aspect ratio. The original camera crop has the room in the sky that is needed. Good point with identifying the cropping. It is certainly not an ideal crop...

  • @silvijatreice7541

    What an incredible place to experience first hand Tim and Leah! I too had to remind my self it was Italy, and not Austria as I half expected the Von Trapp Family to come singing along one of the rises! You are such a talented photographer, and the three photos are each impressive. I really like all three, but am going with the third one for all its glory! I'm sure after all the hiking and good food, those authentic European Feather Beds, offered a great nights sleep to rejuvenate your weary selves for the next days hike!

    @westenbergerstephan5955 Před 4 lety +2

    1st of all many thanks for sharing all the details where you stayed and which Gondel you took. I am planing to go there too so your info was really helpfull.
    So, coming to the pictures. I agree with you, the last picture is the winner. However, I have one remark which catched my eye instantly. Check the white cloud to the left, which is lit by the sun. I think this white spot is quite prominent and in post processing you should have adjusted the cloud so that it matches with the clouds in the background as it distracts from the main subsejct which is magnificant!!! Again, this is moaning on very high level.... :-) I am sure you will never forget this awesome spot and the whole area of South Tirol.

  • @aasolvi
    @aasolvi Před 4 lety +1

  • @jimboweb01

    Incredible photos, the location is on my bucket list as well. I loved the first and third photos especially. I liked the color tones of the first better, but the expanse of the landscape, the majesty of the mountains comes through better in the third. It’s a tough call, but I’m gonna say third photo.

    I was there 2 years ago and did this same hike, it was hard! - But worth it. Stayed at Fermeda Hutte also and everything you said was exactly how we felt, such great hosts, rooms, food and everything else! I like #2 best but they are all nice. On a side note, I’m still working on my video from my trip but plan on releasing it in a couple weeks, maybe you’ll like seeing it. I’m going to check out your other videos now, glad I stumbled across this. 👍

  • @josiejackson1239
    @josiejackson1239 Před 4 lety

    I was torn between 2 and 3, I like certain parts in both, but in the end I opted for 3. I like the mountains on the right in 2 as it leads the eye further away, but the overall light, colour and composition in 3 won it over for me. All very beautiful in their own way. :)

    Number 3 is my favourite.....

  • @Casey9269
    @Casey9269 Před 4 lety

    Photo #3: I liked #2 but the main thing about #3 that I like is even though the Seceda peak is not as large an image in the photo, it is still quite impressive. By pushing back from focusing mainly on just the Seceda peak you get a better sense of just how massive and beautiful the whole region is ... which for me is important. The Dolomites are so unique and beautiful that I like that you capture Seceda but in a way that allows the viewer to realize where it is and how amazing this location is.
