This course blog is where we communicate as a group, share responses to assignments, and post our work. You are required to publish posts according to assignments found on Moodle, and are encouraged to share images, make comments, and pose public questions throughout the semester.
Has the foregrounded figure been enlarged? I can't quite remember from the original image. It's possible that more could be done to refine the foreground figure and really create a parallel relationship (both conceptually and formally) with the cloud figure in the distance. As it stands, the foregrounded figure gets a bit lost in the scale and tonality of the tree behind. While I don't find too many problems compositionally, I do think that the slightly skewed and center-cut horizon line could be complicated and disrupted somehow, perhaps by adding more rolling mountains up the left-hand edge of the image, or even dropping the horizon to give yourself more real estate in the sky to vary the lines. The major composite element, the cloud figure, still seems to stand out a bit up there, and might benefit from some edge blurring, and setting as a layer behind the horizon layer to really push it back. Nice experiments, Mark.
