Re: Falls and Foliage
In this image I would be tempted to darken the foliage area about half a zone and edge burn all sides by 10-15% to hold the eye in the frame better.
BTW, for anyone who doesn't know about edge burning its a darkroom procedure that was/is used to compensate for fall off of the enlarger lens. However, it is also a powerful visual technique for 'holding in' a viewers attention in the image. For digital, make a new layer above image and use the gradient tool with a black to clear grad. Drag in from each side of image for a short distance. Once all four sides are done reduce the opacity of the layer to between 5-15% as desired. You will find it makes a huge difference! Try it!
