96 Sep 24 Comment Hi Bruce,
As a proponent of expressing vertical elements as "vertical" edges, I appreciate why you tilted your camera upwards at a purposeful angle. I don't know if you were using a zoom lens or a fixed focal length lens. Assuming your lens was a fixed focal length, I would have wanted to include the top of the light column (with sky above) behind the statue, even if it meant having to slightly crop the bottom of the scene. Or, perhaps getting down on your knees. (I will admit that if I had crouched down on my knees, I would have needed assistance to stand up again!)

You chose to have the vertical metal column supporting the lamp partially exposed. Other options would have included moving the camera a bit to the left or to the right to either have the lamp post fully separated from the statue or hidden behind the statue with only the top connection the the lamp itself exposed above her wrist.
Best Regards,
Rick

96 Sep 24 Comment Hi Viren,

Definitely a compelling image . . .
It is indeed a mountain of human habitation nestled within a mountain context.
Part of me wishes the towers in the distant background, within the city itself, and in the foreground did not exist. All of them can be seen within the left 15% of the image. Having said that, and assuming you did not want to remove the towers, I am glad you did not choose to simply crop the left side of your photo.
Well done,
Rick

96 Sep 24 Comment Hi Robert,
It has been said that color conveys emotion.
As it is my understanding that the image was recorded during the morning blue hour, While I am a bit surprised with the overall color cast, I am intrigued.
Nevertheless, I am impressed with your technique . . . actually very impressed!
Cheers,
Rick

96 Sep 24 Comment Hello Haru,

I enjoyed scanning your lovely image with my eyes.
I have 3 suggestions:
Consider removing the larger branch appearing to emerge out the the water on the right side of the frame.
Consider removing the tiny bit of vegetation in the center of the top frame and the tiny bit of vegetation on the upper side of the right frame.
The reason for the considerations is that once a viewer's eyes are drawn to the outside frame of an image, there is a potential for a viewer's attention to completely leave the scene.
Mind you, I was impressed enough to continue to enjoy your image. :)
Best,
Rick

96 Sep 24 Comment Hi Haru,

Thanks for your comments.
Your point is well taken. While the image is a single cohesive capture, each of the windows could be interpreted as individual images, taken separately, and then composited in any order. I actually had not considered that, so I appreciate your inspirational thoughts.
Best,
Rick
