>>3119418as much as i like landscape photography, i haven't really developed enough of an eye for it to do the scene up there justice, so i figured it'd make more sense to actually have people in there so there's a more clearly defined subject.
that said, i understand your criticism about their lack of involvement with the scene, but it was getting dark pretty quickly at that time and we still had to make it back down the mountain, so conditions dictated a photoshoot not be held right then.
i agree that better interaction with the scene would improve the composition and i recognize it as a more of a snapshot, but i like how it ended up coming out. if you have any tips on getting this sort of improvement under these time/lighting constraints, i'd like to hear about them.
