Thank you Nigel, for taking the time to look and critique my image. I understand "Velvia" was not a favorite for many, but as you mentioned is a question of personal choice. Anyway, I printed this image for an upcoming exhibition and I love the printed version so much that I will reprint it in case (unlikely...) someone will buy it.
Have a great day

Thank you Dennis. Much appreciated your detailed analysis of my image. I took "only" 10 images from there and this one is the one I like more.
Best wishes

Spring,
thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. I think your explanation would make my point even stronger. If the subject of your image wanted to be the clouds, then in my opinion you should have used a wide lens to minimize the impact of the tufas in the image. Otherwise the tufas become the most obvious subject because they are a strong presence in the foreground. One think I have been taught many times and still I am guilty of ignoring too many times, is that in photography the hardest decision is to learn what to keep out of an image. I think in this image you have two subjects and the viewer is let with the doubt of which one is the important one.

Thank you Spring for sharing your comment. Velvia films for people of my age (that starting with films...) represented an historical break from most popular Kodachrome slide films. They were famous for saturated colors although with long exposure they produces some "greenish tint" so you had to use filters to correct it. Fuji cameras give you the possibility to use different film simulations of their films production. Since I loved those films I am very happy I can use their simulation (in raw format) again in my photography.
If you are interested in knowing more about Velvia film Wikipedia has a good summary

This looks a beautiful garden and I understand reasons it has been awarded. However, I agree with Mike that the composition doesn't work because you have a huge empty space in the middle and despite the panorama you don't have much of the borders with the flower that would frame this.
An article I read about photographing gardens suggested that using a ladder and positioning yourself at a higher position may help. I am sure this is something you could not do that day. Maybe stepping back a little would have given to you more of the entry path that would have help to guide the eye and more space for the side.

This is a very nice travel image capturing the beauty of this place. I think the vertical format works well and you also captured the reflection well.
About the flower arrangement in the foreground is ok, but the upper portion is obstructive and distracting. I think without it, including this in the foreground would have been a positive aspect, but with that upper portion it doesn't work the intent.
As you said this is a great image for memories of a wonderful trip

Mike, this could be a funny image but I have to say to me it doesn't work. The head of the goat is "hidden" behind the leaves and the color of the main body doesn't stand up against the foreground because they have same color. The foreground also is distracting because is too busy. Finally in the background on the right there is a very bright spot that is also adding distraction

This image capture a beautiful scenery but I agree with Mike about the composition. The big rock formation is too much to the right (there is no space between it and the right border)and I think that should be "the subject". So you have a big empty space to the left. Having the rock more "inside the frame" would have helped the image. Beautiful colors captured.

Thank you Mike, it was worth the climb... About the color, as you see in the original those were the ones. I am using Vevia film simulation for color images with my Fuji film camera. I don't see any yellowish in the green on my monitor. Maybe is a color setting of yours?

A lovely capture of this garden. I like the composition and the reflection. An image the convey a feeling of calmness and serendipity. I like the color balance too. I agree with Mike the distracting element can be cloned out.

This is one of those image where I won't change a thing.Your description just add more interest. I agree the contrast between the decadent buildings and the colors is a strong element. But also the road that lead the eye to the building, and the sky that add drama.
Wonderful work Tom

This statue is definitively interesting but to me this image doesn't work. Is a nice piece of street art, but is not particularly engaging. Plus consider it is a static object it could have been better to have the horizon straight.
I think this can be a good spot for waiting for someone interesting walking around or something to happen

I would call this "The Boredom". The lady laying on the grass expression suggest that. Interesting she is probably looking at her phone. I think this image would be as good as in black and white. |
