36 Dec 23 Comment A lot of diagonal lines and triangles add a lot of energy to the frame. It looks from the clouds that you managed the exposure well. I agree with the comment that the bright, contrasty cliff on the right pulls my eye there. In a perfect world, since the subject was the Olympic Mountain, I would have tried to get the mountain bright and free of cloud cover and the supporting mountains in shadow. Again, in a perfect world.... Dec 17th
36 Dec 23 Comment Well seen and composed. It appears to my eye you did a lot of things right - tips of the driftwood do not end at the water horizon, the sky is well exposed, the leading lines of the driftwood point back into the image and to the stumps and colorful sky, the brightness of the sunset to the left is part of the story explaining the color. To your question, no I would not eliminate the stumps. They help balance the image. Without them the image would be unbalanced on the left side. Dec 10th
36 Dec 23 Comment This is a beautiful image, and I think you achieved your goal in processing. Compositionally I think it basically works except the fallen tree tends to block my eye from continuing through the image. Maybe repositioning was not an option, but if you could have picked up the path leading through the scene, that might be preferable. I agree with Larry that the sky looks over processed leading to an unnatural grey. I would consider masking it and either lightening or changing the color balance to get a warm hue. Dec 10th
36 Dec 23 Comment I also agree with Larry's comments. Fabulous find. I like the warm B/W treatment. I might consider enhancing the yellow in the roof to further separate it from the landscape. My eye wandered to the mountain (?) in the upper left which at first glance seemed a blotch (technical term...). I am not sure what to do with that other than maybe enhancing the texture so it is more recognizable. Very enjoyable photo Dec 10th
36 Dec 23 Comment Well composed and well exposed. I like the framing and vanishing point perspective. It appears you lowered the camera to be closer to the payment which enhances the leading lines. I agree with Adi's bright spot but I would consider just darkening the ground near the tree and not cropping. Reducing the highlights of the building is a good move as well. I look forward to an annual photo.... Dec 10th
