looks good except for that big log at the bottom, i find it distracting

I’m going to hike 9 miles round trip up 2,200 ft on the way out and drag that log out of the way and try again. 👍

I almost never do anything to change my landscapes. But one day I was hiking next to the Merced river and there was a huge log protruding from the bank into the river, and I could see that out on the log would be a nice photo down the river, but there was a dead branch from a tree coming out above the log and hanging down in the middle of the shot. There was no way I could shoot around it. So I found the dead branch and bent it around away from the river. Then I went out onto the log (a bit dangerous in the cold Merced River in the wintertime with nobody else around) and took my photo.

I am not saying you should have done this to the log in your photo. My situation was a foreground dead branch hanging down in the middle of a panoramic image down a river, obviously spoiling a great shot. A distracting log in the lower portion of your shot is not a big deal to me.

EDIT: Actually I prefer the log in your shot than no log.
