27 Nov 20 Comment Horses nearly always look ungainly when they ate trotting quickly, it is almost a situation in which fast multiple exposure is required and then the frame with the best positioned legs chosen. You have given him plenty of room to move into, to allow for his speed. The light is coming from the back three-quater and has rendered the driver's face in shadow, I would have preferred it to be a little lighter. Nov 11th
27 Nov 20 Comment There is a lovely selection go autumnal red and yellow colours surrounding the waterfall which have benefitted from being enhanced. Your choice of shutter speed is spot on, slow enough to blur and streak the water but fast enough to stop the water preventing us from seeing though it. Nov 11th
27 Nov 20 Comment I like your idea, and your club sets you some interesting challenges. You have already acknowledged the technical error surrounding the moon and its is relatively easy to correct.
I would have preferred the moon to be higher up in the frame, possibly achieved by having the witch at floor level rather than up on a table, so that otherwise you set up would have stayed the same.		 Nov 11th
27 Nov 20 Comment I can appreciate the problems you had with the background trees being well lit and the elk still being in shadow.
I looked at this image with the elk facing in both directions and to me it works OK in both, it does need space in front, for him to move into. As it is so low down in the frame I think having him on the left makes him appear to be moving into the space. If he was higher up in the frame I would have preferred him on the right.
These kinds of decisions not always easy, as we do not wish to create an image in which the subject appears to be exiting the image rather than moving into it.

27 Nov 20 Comment In camera photo merges are always going to be a bit of a surprise, as you can plan an idea to try but you have very little control of the final output except for the overall positioning of the elements.
You made a good choice of the tree bark as a texture as it was not too heavy and over strongly textured or coloured , and has its 'grain' running in the right direction for your following image. The use of the light coloured columns has given a good base for the texture. I feel that the inclusion of the figure was important as that little bit of human interest creates a strong centre of interest.		 Nov 11th
27 Nov 20 Comment I will start by congratulating you on having your honeymoon, I hope the good lady will allow you plenty of photography time.
I think that this was one of those scenes that will always look better in reality rather than as a photograph. You have captured it at good point in time with the last glow of the sun being on the horizon and there still being enough light to get the detail of the stalks supporting the lights. If you had been able to use tripod and a much longer shutter speed, I wonder if there would have been enough breeze to make the lights just sway from side to side and blur them slightly or if you would have been able to record some of the colour changes 		Nov 11th
