Hello Don - I love how you contrast the angular shapes of the building and roughness of the (wooden?) tiles with the fluffiness of the clouds. I am so interested in this picture that I took the liberty of doing my own slight edits. I cropped it on the left to only have the three main roofs. I also darkened the darks and shadows to reduce the emphasis on the windows and strengthen the geometric shapes to squares and triangles against a fluffy sky. Note sure that I was all that successful though. It was really an experiment for me ;)
Again, congrats on such a strong image |

Hello Lance - I love this study, especially the low angle and shutter speed used to take this picture. My only hesitation is that you are so tightly framing the foreground gentlemen with the tan (?) pants that it made me do a double take to see if he was amputated. I realize that this is a nit pick for an otherwise very strong image. I too, would love to see your entire series! |

Hello Michael - As Don rightfully pointed it out, this picture is technically excellent. I also like the mirroring, especially since the ripples help understand the picture. However, I must admit that I'm struggling with its busyness. It takes me a little time to understand what to focus on. For example, the branches of the log meld a little too much for my taste with the plants in the middle ground. I also wonder if the horizon (as possibly indicated b horizontal log (?) behind the two tree trunks) is slightly slanted. Having said this, your choice of rendering this picture in monochrome is spot on! |

Adi, good composition. Having an odd number of items in a picture makes it stronger. But you do! The cross below the horizon is in juxtaposition to the two windmills. To better emphasize it, I wonder what would happen if [a] you dodged it a little bit, [b] moved your camera angle slightly to the right to put the cross in the middle of the bush to better frame it and emphasize it, or [c] moved in much closer to frame it at the bottom of an upside down triangle with the two windmills. Also, I'm not sure what to make of the person (?) sitting or standing at the end of the path right on the horizon.
On a less compositional focus (pun intended), I love the story that your picture tells me. It makes me wonder what that person sitting quietly on the horizon is thinking about after visiting the cross. (Reading too much in the picture???). Good job! |
