I think your post processing made significant improvements to this image. Overall for me, it appears the raw file was just to underexposed to create a really good image. Having said that, I agree with the comments above, it appears too warm for me and the tree/sky on the right draws my eye out of the image. I would consider using the guided transform tool to straighten the trees to eliminate the perspective and use a brush to lighten the path just slightly more. (just me). The scene was well seen. |

I agree with most of the comments above. The building on the right is bright and draws the eye out of the image so moving the crop in from the right would help. The fog is also fairly light and draws the eye without much detail or drama. There is not much of interest on the left side of the image so I would crop down some from the top and in from the left. Having said all that, I think the exposure works because the scene is not well lite. The town has great interest and provides a story. If you have the new LR, you might do a sky select and add quite of bit of dehaze to add interest and drama to the sky. Great sense of place. |

I liked the composition with the pier going out to a vanishing point and the choice of shutter speed to soften the water- enough to give it form but with not a lot of distraction from the pier. I agree with your B/W choice. I think you may have given up a bit of sharpness with f22 but maybe there was a bit of camera shake with 6 seconds. I would consider cropping down just a bit from the top since there is not any part of the sky of interest and up from the bottom to eliminate the bright strips in the foreground. I do get a commission on the use of the crop tool.... |

Timing and positioning - you got it. The sunburst is exceptionally strong immediately drawing my eye there before I figured out what the rest of the image was about. I like you balanced the space on the left and right with the vehicles and the exposure you used which indicates it is near sunset so shadows are natural. You might consider cropping up about 1/2 of the grass from the bottom. A fascinating image overall. |

Well seen and captured. You did not mention the shutter speed, but it appears appropriate to my eye - there is a hint of motion but the detail is still evident. The breaking of the two waves form a powerful diagonal giving this image a lot of energy. My eye wants to just follow the waves into shore.... I agree with your choice of B/W. See what you think about cropping down a bit more from the top - maybe at the half-way point of the cliff. That keeps the eye from wandering up in the sky and out the right side of the image. |

I actually like the composition as is. To me, the snow on the left is part of the story of a winter shot. The rocks and tree trunk in the bottom left point my eye to the falls. I would be interested in what shutter speed you chose for the water. It appears to be a good choice to show motion but not completely lose detail. Color balance is obviously an artistic preference. For me, the image seems to be to have a redish hue so a bit overly warm for my personal taste. The finished image at higher resolution may have some detail in the snow on the left. It just appears as a white spot as I see it. |
