33 Aug 25 Comment You have found a great spot for a few set-up and images, the horizon has some lovely depths and some strong subtle shades.
But I do think you could have done more with the foreground and the dead tree, it is to cramped in the bottom right corner and few steps back to allow it to breath in the frame would be much stronger, those shadows would then become a strong part of the image as well.
Also watch your processing as the top of the tree is getting a touch of fringing on the tips. But a great attempt at a great scene.

33 Aug 25 Comment Those sunrays are quite extraordinary in they way they have evenly spread across the sky to the ground. But it does give you the photographer the opportunity the chance of a wonderful image. It is well taken and beautifully crisp and you have done very well at f4, does show how well these modern camera and lens do now.
I do wonder how good this would have been on a tripod with a polarizer and a 6 or 10 ND filter to slow every thing down. I don't mind the front of the image, but can appreciate Arief crop.

33 Aug 25 Comment This is a very strong travel/landscape image. The chose of using monochrome is great choice and the depth of tones is great in this image.
The fishermen are great and work well with their surroundings, the rocks and swell work well with the surrounds, but I would say that if mine I would just tone down the beach a touch as it draws the eye when you view.
This will do you well wherever you show it.

33 Aug 25 Comment You look at this and you would not believe this is in the middle of Rome, it has the feeling of being in the middle of somewhere like ancient Thebes.
The light and glow with the reflection on the water is just glorious and no Cars. You have controlled the camera well with no burn out of no vast under exposure.
This is a very strong night time image.

33 Aug 25 Comment This would have been a simple bit of water rolling over a few rocks but you have managed to turn it into a piece of art. Those greens hit you in the face. Then your eyes fall into the image and see all the wonderful detail. Lovely image. Aug 11th
33 Aug 25 Comment You don't say what your phone is?
The symmetry of the image is very good and the phone has done well with the DOF and focus. The colours are nicely capture and are crisp.
The lead from the path the the green house is very good. I love the one gardener as he gives great scale to the image.
I do agree that cropping that bit of border away from the bottom would help the image.

39 Aug 25 Comment This is a fine Monochrome image with very good detail showing off the old station. Your composition using the lines is very good and having the wagons down the bottoms has something for the eyes to travel to. The building is nicely held and toned. The sky has been your fried and adds great atmosphere.
Very Nice image to view.

39 Aug 25 Comment Well I am stunned that you managed to get all that detail out of that coloured image. This monochrome is wonderful and shows off the state of the wild horses well. The roughness of its main and the scars all over its skin. It just says hard life.
I think it is an exceptional monochrome.

39 Aug 25 Comment That is a great idea and you have seen the image and composed it well. But it needs to be more of a contrast as it is to subtle to view. If the twigs and shadows were stronger this would stand out as a strong image. This might perform better as a print. Aug 11th
39 Aug 25 Comment That is a great street image, full of content and perfectly timed and composed. That is a steep climb, I take it only goes one way round. The artistry is very good. But the image will put a smile on your face so it is a winner. I alsio like the colour and your second monochrome is just as strong an image. Aug 11th
39 Aug 25 Comment To get the camera in the right position and held still enough to get this 5 second shot is very well done. The effect you have from it in monochrome is stunning. The tones and textures you have in all those swirls and lines are lovely.
Great image to view.
