Still Life - Traditional

What do you like about each image and what would you have done differently? - For the first image, I'm not sure if it fits into the still life genre. I found the little glass ornament in a junk drawer, and I thought it would be interesting to shoot the reflection in the glass. It came out reasonably well, and the blurred background looks great.  If I had the chance, I would have loved to have used a tripod and a macro lens to get the shot closer with a lower ISO. - For the second image, I just rearranged the stuff that was already on my desk. I like the deep shadows and stark contrast.  If I could have done something different, maybe I could have found a different angle, or used a tripod.

Landscape Photography - Ansel Adams

Mount Williamson from Manzanar - Ansel Adams What I like about this image: Technically, this shot is excellent. It utilizes the rule of thirds by  having the mountains and the sky cover the top third of the frame. It shows an incredible range of values. Everything in the shot, from the rocks in the foreground to the clouds in the back, is pin sharp. I love the way the rocks lead my eyes towards the mountains in the background. The visible light rays in the background make the mountains seem even more majestic.
