Thanks to all for your insightful comments! It was taken from the deck of a cruise ship somewhere in the Caribbean. |

Thanks for your comments, Glen! Either treatment of the land works. I had in mind that the image had three elements: the storm over the bay, the foreboding shore as a hazard to navigation, and the safety provided by the point of reference of the lighthouse's beacon. Thus my choice of leaving the land dark and mostly featureless. |

The composition is quite a strong one, and emphasizes the circular symmetry of the elaborate display. Not quite sure how you handled the moving subjects in an HDR merger of images, but it looks to be effective. |

The transformation from your original to the featured work is testament to your post-processing skills! The resulting image rekindles one's favorite memories of the beach, while vicariously placing them in the inviting beach chairs! That is a worthy goal for any photog! |

The thick, maritime forest on Cumberland is so imposing that it is difficult to deal with as a photographer- at least it was for me! I think you have done a masterful job in capturing the essence of the place. Your image takes on the wild place with a sort of visual rhythmn that affects me like a Rudyard Kipling verse. Well done! |

Glen, I like both editions. Getting in closer to the water flow over the small falls has to my eye made the subject more compelling. I also endorse Pierre's suggested further narrowing down the scene to emphasize the particular area to be featured. |

Impressive image! The deeply scarred rocks in the immediate foreground command primal attention, and from there the eye proceeds seamlessly (without loss of sharpness) across the rocky terrace toward the sun's ascent. The cloud line at the horizion has both limited the light a bit which has produced little if any visual anomalies, and produces an interesting shadowed area in the distance as we move toward the left.
I tend to like Glen's color adjustments. |

The warm, morning light illuminating this winter scene emphasizes by its contrast the frigid conditions extant. The extensive use of HDR over 4 stops has successfully provided detail to all shadowed areas.
I think this image illustrates an important, recurring issue in photography, namely, how effectively to use a line running across the foreground. This situation typically will be a fence line or wall running more or less perpendicular to the "visual axis" of the image. The wall in this case affects my eye like a leading line, but it does not lead to any other portion of the image - or perhaps one would argue, to the shoreline at the left edge. The stone bench at the left further adds weight the immediate foreground. There is certainly nothing objectionable in this image or its composition, and I am not suggesting otherwise. Overall it is a very pleasing one. For comparison, I have cropped the image to a smaller field of view, in which the foreground rock wall functions less as a leading line, and more in the role of a foreground element. So to summarize my point, when dealing with such a line running across the foreground, try out a composition with a limited field of view. |
