I like the way you have captured the "closeness" of the canyon with the rock walls coming up with their bit of an overhang and I think the compliment the relatively smooth surface of the water. Your relatively symmetric composition with the water centered in the frame adds much to the image in my opinion and I like the rock spire in the background as I think it adds a point of interest. I also think the green of the trees add a nice color contrast and extra interest.
To my eye the overall scene looks like the red has been a bit over saturated but that might just be that your are in the "Sedona Red Rock" country. There seem to me to be a bit of over exposure along the base of the wall on the left side, and I agree with Paul in that the way the light is coming off the water the a polarizer might help in reducing what I see as glare coming off the water. |

First question Paul; How did you find yourself living in a Galen Rowell photograph? The photo catches my interest with the different layers and holds my eye as I look to appreciate each level. I like the way you used the early morning light which, for me, adds a sense of depth to the image. I think the composition is good with the centering of Long's Peak and the way the layers fit together.
I wonder if there would be much change if you cropped up from the bottom, eliminating those few geese that are in flight and starting with a bit of the snow/icy surface in front of the large group of geese. For my eye, those geese at the bottom don't add that much to the image. |

Mark, I'll never get tired of your waterfall images and considering where I live with all the rivers and streams coming off the Oregon coastal mountains and then the Cascades just a couple hours east of me I should be taking more waterfall pics and learning from you.
I like this shot and I really like the way you have cropped in for your final image. Focusing on just the lower fall helps me imagine that I am much closer and allows my eye to concentrate on more of the details in the scene. I agree with Paul in how your sharp focus helps to give depth to the scene. I like your choice of shutter speed in that it shows a smooth flow to the water while still having enough "action" so I get a sense of the power it presents. In my opinion the mist around the falls really helps to make the image. |

I find the sky with the clouds along with the mountains go together well with a nice presentation of textures and complimentary colors. For that portion of the image I think the exposure is well done. I also consider the foreground interesting with what I see as thick foliage and the placement of the artificial figures and I think for that portion of the image the contrasting colors work well.
I do think that the foreground is too dark and, in my opinion, doesn't work well with the background. In my mind I see the foreground and background as parts of two separate images and I'm not sure that they work well together.

First, I want to apologize for the typo/misspelling on the title when I posted the photo. It should be "Charles Bridge".
To me this is a busy photo with lots of elements but in my opinion they all work well together to convey a story. I like the layering with the water and boats in the foreground; then the bridge with lots of people; followed by the tightly packed building the finishing with the cloudy sky. I see lots of detail in each of the elements with, in my opinion, great depth of field. I like your choice of B&W which I think is accentuated with the detail and contrast.
I see the airplane as a bit amusing however I do consider it a bit distracting. |

For me this image creates a sense of a story to tell; "where is the woman going, and why the stern look on her face", and in my opinion telling a story is important for a photo. I think the composition is done well with the framing of the woman in the window and how you have placed her in the center of the photo. I like the way the colors work together with the brown tones highlighted by the red and yellow of her clothes. I also appreciate how you have increased the lighting of her and the stairway around her so that we can more easily see the detail in her face and clothing. I think you did a good job.
I agree with the others that it would be nice if you included a bit of a story as to why you took the photo and some of the technical details. |

Stephen,
I took the shot in West Seattle at the very north end of California Ave. SW. There is a small park there, Hamilton Viewpoint Park, which allows for parking and good views of Elliot Bay. My wife grew up in West Seattle and her grandparents had a house close to the park so this was her normal view from their living room. Still can't figure out why she married me and moved to Chicago? |
