Thank you, I was hoping you didn't think it too harsh.

I agree, in part, with Bob, both... The house is in the center and thus tends to imply its the subject, yet everything else is bright and colorful. I would actually consider a much tighter crop as the large tree creates an imbalance, to my eye, in Bob W crop. You would lose the vastness of the meadow (which may be contrary to the intent), yet still have all the other elements. |

There is one thing about judging a photograph, we all have an opinion and while all opinions are valid, only the artist's count. (or perhaps a buyer's) I love the composition, with the lines, although its on the verge of being cluttered. For me the image is too soft, although I think I understand the attempted concept. My eye swirls as the detailed textures are on the outside (top, right, lower) of this photo, while the center is soft. The focus on the rear, throws me a bit, but that's just because it's not my standard style. One thing, the more I look at it the more intrigued I am at the attempt and contemplating what other experiment I might try. |

Bob's crop does simplify things, but I think its really the change of lighting that works. I think the two light streaks in the photo separates things into several different subjects for the eye and thus gives the cluttered feel. My eye keeps picking up the root/branch under the water. Bob also added subtle highlight to the single pad making it unmistakably the subject. Its amazing how better a photographer I became as I learned more and more post processing. |

Even though I've grown up in Southern California and twice have had property damage due to wildfires, I've learned that they are a necessity in nature and really the beginning of a new fresh start. While there is a sense of despair, its really only in the man-made components, as the grass and plants are coming back. For me, I don't see anything else that would illustrate the description of railroad or abandoned buildings at all. The timbers do form a leading line but to what? I do wonder what may have existed in the far background (mountains?), which might then be the destination of the lines. |

Well, since my main interest is Wildlife photography, I've learned you can never have too fast a shutter speed. You have captured a wonderful scene, I sense the boat and whale have balance. The clouds and mountains provide environmental context. The key to remember, is you are in a boat, so you and the camera are moving, then the waves and whale and boat are moving. In these cases you really want to freeze the image for the detail portions, like the boat, especially if you ever want to make a large print. I would have considered 1/1250 to be the slowest I'd have attempted and would try for
more if possible. It all then becomes the balancing act between aperture and ISO. |

Nice composition, leading lines, reflection, all combine to to give me a relaxing feeling. I do understand why some others have commented about the darks. This could very easily be boosted with the shadows slider in Lightroom or other editor. |
