Thanks Lisa. Yes, I agree the road in the upper left is distracting. I will crop it a little. I also wish the walkway leading out of the picture on the left wasn't there. Guess the designers didn't think about how it would look from above. :) |

Beautiful image Julie! It brings back good memories for me driving along the highway to the south of Tongariro. I'd love to have had more time there and to go west over to this beautiful peak!
I would tone down the cyan-colored sky a bit. Sometimes when you process in Lightroom and/or Photoshop, it turns the sky an unnatural cyan color. If you add back a little bit of magenta it will help balance it out and look more natural. Another thing that you might want to do is add a small bit of vignette, especially in the upper and right corners. The leading line down the center does a good job of leading the eye right down to the mountain. I'm wishing for the snow-capped peak to be a little more visible in the picture though. |

Hi Don. I agree with Julie that I like the original curvature. The flat horizon is nice too, so I could go either way. However, you have introduced some pretty severe processing errors into the picture. There is a bright halo along the tree line, especially on the right. The increased contrast is good, although it looks like a little too much denoise and/or sharpening was used. I love the color you have introduced along the horizon. |

Hi Janos. It is a lovely place! I agree with Julie about cropping it down, but I think you should crop the bottom and sides quite a lot. It is a very expansive scene making all the objects in the photo very small and therefore more inconsequential. If you crop it, it will enlarge the 3 subjects and make it more pleasing. That would also enlarge the beautiful sunlit hills in the background. |

Hi Lou, it makes an interesting almost-abstract. I think you have cropped it down a little too far on the bottom though, I think it would be better if you had saved that curve at the bottom. I agree with the crop on the left side though. The tractor and trailer it is pulling makes a nice little detail! |

What a beautiful place to photograph! There are some good leading lines in the image, the tree line coming out of the upper right corner and the highway coming out of the lower right, both leading the eye to the hill. But I think the left side of the image has a little too much negative space for my taste. Also, the image has a cyan cast and looks a little flat. I would recommend you brighten it up a bit and kick up the color. Try to enhance the light line across the water making it a more obvious leading line to the hill. You could also try to bring out the dark line in the water along the shore. Then brightening and enhancing the color of the hill would make a more compelling subject. I'm not sure that the boats at the bottom are doing much, they seem more like a distraction that draws the eye away from the subject. I would see how it looks if they are removed. |

Love this image Pete! The composition is perfect, and you did good waiting for the right moment! There's not much I would advise to do differently, perhaps tone down the blue of the sky a little bit. Saturating the sky was good, but the tones of the original were soft... I think somewhere in between would be a little better. But that is nit-picking. |
