Thank you for your explanation. I am amazed how well you have used Lightroom. Adjusting in small increments is so important in all adjustments. I have started to use Lightroom more lately where it can do the job. Much faster and easier. |

This is a good example of minimalistic landscape photography. It is interesting to make the clouds the main object and the landscape second in attention, but it works well in this case. Very good separation and combination of colours.
Well seen and well done! |

You have managed to make this scene into a dreamy, kind of a fairytale image. The crisp green seems like HDR, but I guess it is not. Could you tell us a little about the editing? My only little pick is that I agree with Michael about the branch that disturbs the calmness.
To me, the main picture is the best one. |

Planning well and hunt for the good light pays off. This is just a stunning image! The cold and warm colours make the picture pop. I like the combination of the straight and the repeatedly curved lines. My only small pick is, as Michael has pointed out, the dark line to the left, that disturbs the composition. |

Thank you for your comment, Bill. It adds to the story that the artist contacted me a few days ago and hired me to photograph the whole exhibition and I shall meet her tomorrow. Sometimes, it pays off to be generous 🙂 |

Thank you for your version. This can be done in so many ways and there is no right or wrong with any of them. It just depends on the perception of the viewer. |

After having seen the comments from Haru and Ata, I agree that this can be done better. I have therefore continued working with the contrasts and highlights to make it more appealing. On Saturday I went back and did some more shooting and I also met the artist. I will now make a series of pictures of the entire exhibition and let her use them as she likes. I think it is good to cooperate with artists of different genres. |

I looked up Brett Weston and can understand you why are inspired by him. I have tried taking this type of photos myself and it is really difficult to get them sharp due to the wind movement. It can be discussed if wind movement is appealing or not. In my opinion the image has to be anchored in something that is sharp and then use the motion blur to emphasise a feeling or an effect. To me, it is on the edge to be too blurry. You could consider to crop one third from the bottom to make it more minimalistic. I think that is also more in line with Brett Weston´s style. |

The only way to get a really good picture inside a cathedral (and most other buildings) without any light source is to use a tripod. In practical terms that is not so easy as it is not always allowed or you don't bring such stuff on a vacation trip.
Having said that, I think you have succeeded well in you capture. There is a connection between the image hanging from the top and the altar that is interesting. A proposal for improvement is to highlight the columns to make the picture more contrasty. |

You have done a very good job in the conversion to B&W by darkening the surroundings and emphasised on the alligator and the reflections. It is so peaceful and harmonic, a typical afternoon nap after a good meal. |

I like the way you have composed the image with the framing from the foreground continuing to the end. The low camera gives drama to the picture.
I agree with Dick comments and his version as it adds drama and wonder, which to me is the main story. |

In this case I think the colour version works better as the colours plays a vital role in conveying the beauty of the scene. The bright petals in the foreground compete with the bright trees which are the main object. My suggestion is to darken the foreground and the sky and lighten the reflections in the midle of the image. You may also try to darken the darker parts of the tree using a luminosity mask. |

This was a very unexpected photo from you, Ata. I studied in this city many years ago. The name of the canal is Brosundet. Stryn is also a very beautiful place that I know well as I was brought up in the same area.
Aalesund is founded on fishery and you have captured several fishing boats that illustrate that. I like the composition with the lines narrowing the view towards the background. I agree with the others who would like som more contrast and drama, but all in all a good picture. |
