Hidden Winter Moon Oval

Caylakas 17 Jul 2024

I hate it when I start a mountain too low and then run out of room for things at the bottom. It worked out, but it was a little crowded. I see that many in the community have put things on the right hand side as well as the left. I left it this way, but it seems a little empty. Thoughts?

Bob liked to "frame" subjects with trees or other stuff at the outer edges, I believe to draw our attention into the middle or push other elements back. However, your interpretation looks good to me with nothing more added to the right side, just a more "cropped" view of the original scene.

Nice work!

The things we put in the side are used to pull your eyes toward a focal point. Kind of frames. In this case, your eyes want to follow the mountains down to the right, but the cabin pulls you back. That creates balance. So, I don’t think anything is needed here. Good job.

Never thought of it like that before. Thanks!

Looks great
