So knowing your vision & your intent when you took off your lens cap, it was your conscious involvement that allowed you to create an impactful image by arranging the elements of lines, story, subject, atmosphere, mood, repetition, optics, focus, depth of field, rules, framing, light and perspective in the composition and eliminate distractions. The successful image communicates your key thoughts or feelings to the viewer with passion and clarity. |

Thanks Pierre. I was struck by how the mate was out of the wheelhouse on sharp lookout; it's such a busy harbor. An array of electronics cover the pilothouse rooftop to help navigate but they can konk out in an instant; leaving fate to the human element. |

Wonderful concept and execution. Orderly leading lines and diagonals add to pattern, shape and impact. Agree more could perhaps be gained from opening shadows, some dehaze might help too. Enjoy the atmosphere and mood. |

I like how the people support the image by providing Balance to give scale, the light of the sun flare caught at the Peak Moment, the kiss of the warm light on the hillside highlighting shape and form, and the sky reflection caught in the pond water.
You were willing to let go of the usual composition, to take the riskier shot, show the well seen in a new way. Very nice. |

The Dominant element of this image is the Abbey. It has visual weight, placement, shape and contrast which emphasizes it as the center of interest.
The Supporting element of the blooming azaleas and the dock reinforces the dominant element and show the dichotomy of these parts of the image. I like the juxtaposition of the dissimilar objects that encourage me to study the image longer comparing and contrasting. |

What is this image about? What's your Intention? It takes Conscious Involvement - what drew your eye & how you felt about it? Your technical camera setting decisions work to refine that intention and post processing best presents it to your viewer.
To me the compositional hook of this image is the atmosphere, the mood, the light, the softness, emergence, lines, shapes, patterns, diagonal horizontals.
It invites me to investigate & think about it more deeply. Love it!

A grand landscape contains the sky and the horizon. If you feel the lake shore is the horizon, then this would fit the genre of a grand landscape. Landscapes are most pleasing that contain a foreground, mid-ground and background.
My eye goes right to the bright foreground tones of the Alders that contrast well with the hillside behind and extend into the water reflections. My eye circles around that shape naturally. Then my eye moves back to the soft wispy mist hovering low over and through the trees which make up the mid-ground and sets the atmosphere there as being light and airy. Further back the cloudy sky and rocky bare peaks void of vegetation produces a hard, mysterious and brooding mood. I like the juxtaposition of the soft and the hard in a well balanced scene. Nice capture and processing. |

I agree on first look one could assume the image is of a natural UV lit scene, but on further study I see the foliage as having quite high-contrast which is seen in IR images. The Yukka really stands out and is quite well separated from its background. The sky as well shows more cloud detail and the tones are more diverse. Perhaps the clouds are a brighter white than they appeared that day too as you're seeing them in IR. I enjoy the capture & processing. |

Thanks Chuck. After I have captured the usual & safe horizontal and vertical shots from a variety of perspectives I like to try various more risky & creative shots to feed my artistic side. |

I find this image compelling as it has dimensionality; a sense of depth making it more 3D. The gradation of tones leads my eye right where you want me to look; the central part of the flower which is in sharp focus with nice tonal contrasts. It makes me want to touch it as the texture is so real. Well captured and processed; no suggestions. |

The compositional hook for me is the atmosphere and mood of the image. The emotionally calm peaceful water in this quiet morning scene is well seen and captured. The IR is processed to emphasize the the moody ominous sky and distant foliage. With a beautiful bridge reflection to boot! The visual relationships are orderly, balanced and feeds back to your peaceful morning. Very nice. |
