Thanks for you opinions all. I agree about the blur. I altered the crop. I dulled the light behind the subject somewhat as Jim suggested. I removed the drains at the base, then it seemed a little empty, so I left them in as I felt they grounded the composition somewhat.
Now all I need to do is test it in a comp or two! Thanks for your help guys. |

Love this shot Mitch! I have a lake near my home with similar weeds along the shores. I love the textures and how you've featured the whirling weeds.
I felt that the composition was quite tight. I have another version, that allows a wider view. What do you think? |

Great comments here.
Jason, like you, I have so many photographs that would have been fabulous if I had stepped a few steps left or right.
Our eye desires the space in front of the subject.
If you had stepped a few paces to the left, you would have had the horse and the blossom tree as well.
The light is gorgeous. Jim has accentuated the colour and light, although, I am unsure of what effect you desired.
I prefer the feel of Terry's flip. As we write from left to right, I generalise to say that we prefer to see a head pointing right rather than left.
Despite all, it is a beautiful calming image. |

A 'haunting' image Terry.
I really like the image. It is telling me 'scary, distress ... etc' yet it a bright illuminated image.
My suggestion would be to darken it down to create more darkness and foreboding to the story?

Thanks so much for the feedback guys! As I said, I was playing around with(NIK) Analogue. Despite the fact that the blur effect didn't set the world on fire, there were some fantastic suggestions in your comments. Now I am off to have a play with the image with your comments in mind. Thanks all! |

Love this shot Sunil! I have found that I have had more success in competition, with this kind of shot, if it is in mono rather than the original colour.
I have posted a mono for your appraisal. All I did was crop, straighten (ever so lightly to nearly straighten the poles), Topaz de Noise. Then convert to B&W in Photoshop 'Gradient map'. |

I also think this is a beautiful image (definitely somewhere I'd like to be right now!)
I like the composition. The tree and raised bank on the left-hand side of the image, balances the 2 thirds of the rest of the image, I like it the way it is.

Before I read anything else in the thread, my reaction to your final image was .. WOW!, this photograph has such a strong story! Then I looked at the title, and "snap" I already knew that! Then I looked at the original, and I liked the space around them.
Now I am going to read your post and what everyone else has said .....
Now, wonderful feedback from the above. I'd prefer to see the wider view. I really like the dust in the original, but agree with a crop (perhaps disappear the bottom and left-hand third of the original image?).
Nice work Brenda!
