15 Dec 17 Comment Beautiful image! Nicely captured.

The only thing I could add is a comment I received from a photography workshop I attended this last summer. When photographing into the sun also try to shoot from a perspective to show the effects of the sunrise or sunset. I myself always shot into the sun or liked to get the full sun in a photo. But I found it to be a new adventure for me to search out and find the effects of the sun on landscape I am shooting. It gives me more opportunities for new and different types of shots. To see the golden light beams across the water or landscape can be awesome!

Have a Merry Christmas my friend,

15 Dec 17 Comment Comparing the black and white with the color I would say the black and white seems more appealing as it tones down the business of the many colors. Although with that said, I think this photo needs to be in color. The men need to stand out more than the background as they are the subject. They are competing with the beautiful turquoise, red, yellow in the background. This is very creative art work. Thanks for sharing your talent!

15 Dec 17 Comment Lovely sunrise! I agree with the above comments. The ship needs more light than the sky.

Kind regards,

15 Dec 17 Comment Beautiful photo!

The only thing I could suggest is balance the white balance. Seems the door behind her should be more white.

15 Dec 17 Comment Love this photo well done!

The only thing I could add to the already great replies is, can you do anything with the angles? The left and right sides seem a bit distracting as the vertical lines aren't straight.

Merry Christmas!

15 Dec 17 Comment I love the lone tree photo, puffy clouds, and rolling hills all excellent elements with no clutter! I have such a struggle with clutter this is really a nice clean shot.

Looking for what draws my eye, the first thing I am drawn to is the beige hill and balanced by the dark brown hill. If the tree is the subject, it needs to be brighter or the light needs to draw the eye to it; make it stand out more. The top edge of the sky is going way too dark so try evening out the color of the sky. I was recently told by a judge that vignetting should be felt or subtle but not obvious. The puffy clouds look gray and should probably be more white, natural color. You seem to also have 2/3 sky and 1/3 subject area. Perhaps try a square crop with less sky.

You have many options here thats to your advantage!

Merry Christmas!
