Some (3, 4, 5) days ago I saw a black and white landscape in screening which I very much liked. I haven't seen it published since so I guess it ended up being rejected :-(
The photographer didn't put the photo in question up in the critique section, so now I lost track :-(
It was a Northern American (canada or US) landscape... a road downwards cutting through the landscape, with some cars (more like small trucks) driving on it, and with the mountains at the far end. on the left hand side there was like a house, or rather a road stop for travelers.
If the photographer in question reads this... I really thought it was a gorgeous photo, I'm sorry it got rejected. If possible I would like to see it again, so please let me know something
Or if someone from the crew happens to know which photo I'm speaking about, could you somehow link me to it, or to the photographer OE homepage ?

Thank you very much

Is there a way to see older entries in the Critique section?

yes, but only older photos that were put up in the critique section in the first place. The photo I speak about, only appeared in screening, so I don't even know the photographer's name :-(

found it ! Thanks crew :-)

Any chance you can share it? Your description was very appealing.

you may not like it. I just happen to fall for photos where nature and human presence intertwine. and then those wide open spaces. and that truck looks so american :-)

It's my mountain!

I'll stand on top of Denali, one day. I'm sure about that.

Denali ? that doesn't sound very northern American lol. So how many thousand miles or continents was I off the mark ?
So is it your photo Alexandre ?

Mt Denali (also wrongly known as Mt McKinley), the highest mountain of North America, in the Alaska Range. And no, it's not my photo. Though I saw the mountain first hand last summer, I couldn't get such a nice capture of it.

ah. thanks for the info.

I think the photo would've gone through if the mountain was more accentuated. I barely saw it on the first look. It's a great photo. For OE it needed a bit of tweaking.

I like it very much, but I agree with John's comment.

Hello everyone. I am the one who had submitted the photo in question. It was taken in Willow, Alaska - where on a clear day you get the most stunning view of Mt. McKInley (a.k.a. Denali)

Here is the photo mentioned:

Shutterpug: Why don't you post it for Critique? Maybee someone comes up with a genious idea how to give it that '1x-twist' ?

Lars :-)

I could but I really like it the way I have it since it is as I saw it. I like landscapes to look as natural as they presented themselves. Please don't take that wrong - I do appreciate feedback. On this image though I really love the way it is. I have noticed that the impact of the mountain requires a correctly calibrated monitor, as the monitors at work do not do it any justice.

Hi Linda - love this photo. Let me add my voice to the suggestion that you put it in critique. I totally understand what you're saying about liking it the way it is, and just because you get a lot of suggestions about other ways to do things doesn't mean you have to change one single thing.

I've discovered to my surprise that if I just TRIED most of the suggestions, however "wrong" or weird they sounded, sometimes I had to admit that "wow, okay, that really WAS better". Just thought I'd try and urge you to offer yourself that opportunity - because at the end of the day you can still ignore all the suggests or revert back to your original and no one even knows whether you did or didn't try any of the ideas. It's not like you have to show that you did or didn't listen - you just stick it in critique, receive ideas and people's thoughts about it, say thanks and then do whatever you like with that new information (including tossing it all into your mental trash can).

But hey, just a friendly urging and welcome to 1x - great photo!
:-) Ann
