2 Nov 17 Comment Great composition, but I agree with the cropping comments. I would take out and inch or more from the right margin. I would have considered some shots with higher f numbers up to about f/18 provided the shutter speed stayed above 1/100 for hand-held conditions, but maybe you did. As it is, the gravestones in the foreground appear selectively focused, but you could argue that all of them have compositional weight and warrant more focus. Even with the HDR the tops of the graves are very white but bring out the leading lines very well. Nov 13th
2 Nov 17 Comment Very nice. Impressive foreground (bench), mid-ground (trees) and more distant background visible under the branches. Can't help wondering if more depth of field (f/18 at ISO 100 say) plus a tripod would have improved it, but may be not if it was windy. Nov 13th
2 Nov 17 Comment Great composition with the diagonal and asymmetrical landscape content on either side of the winding river. Although not shot in raw, I would investigate saturating some more and perhaps dehazing. Nov 13th
2 Nov 17 Comment My limited experience with birds in flight tell me, like others have said, that a higher ISO and burst mode would be better for selection of the ideal moment of capture. This would make it easier to select the back-ground to as the isolate the subject, hopefully in focus with higher shutter speed. It impresses me as an amusing picture of a plane without a pilot and in lots of trouble judging by the smoke !! So removal of the building in post and re-cropping could be worthwhile. Nov 13th
2 Nov 17 Comment Great image !! The sky and water lines with the reflections are impressive, and I feel positive about the negative space. The car headlights at the 10 second exposure have come out slightly strong while contrasting with the dark shadows under the bridge, but maybe OK. Nov 13th
