36 Jun 24 Comment I think you captured the essence of the ruins, and the wide angle choice gave you excellent DOF and lines into a vanishing point. I agree with your post processing except, to my eye, the stones look too contrasty (too much dehaze) to look natural. Jun 20th
36 Jun 24 Comment I think you really captured the power of the water and like the faster shutter speed than normally used to photograph moving water; that helped highlight the speed and tumult of the water.
Just me, but the image appears too tight on the left and to my eye, the bridge would have been better level. Had more been included on the left and the bridge level, I think the sky would be less of an issue. I do agree with Larry that an all white sky is distracting. You did capture a powerful moment.

36 Jun 24 Comment Great choice on the ND filter to smooth out the water. I like the leading lines and perspective of the posts which direct my eye to the setting sun. I agree with Larry about the effectiveness of the color palette and cropping down some from the top since the interest is the posts and smooth water. Jun 20th
36 Jun 24 Comment The composition works well to my eye. You achieved your objective. In some areas, the water includes tannins which gives it a tea appearance. It could also be that there was enough rain to cause some flooding which picked up dirt. I don't have any issue with the water color. I agree with Diane about color balance. I would warm it up quite a bit and maybe reduce the green tint. Jun 5th
36 Jun 24 Comment I was just there for sunrise about one month ago. Nice work with sharpness and some shadow detail given the long exposure time. I like you added magenta to the clouds and brightened them up some. Good management of exposure - maintaining the lights exposure without appearing to be blown out and picking up the lights from downstream. So, well done post processing. Jun 5th
36 Jun 24 Comment I like the warms colors, the clear reflection of the building, the foreground grasses which add depth and the balance between the building and cloud. I see what you mean by the cloud. I would consider slightly darkening the reflection by one stop. Did you consider generative fill to replace the sign board? To be really nit picky, I think I would have cloned out where the grasses intersect with the building reflection, but no biggie. Jun 5th
