36 Mar 25 Comment I also like the strong diagonal lines across the composition While I think the sun reflection is a good idea, it does seem a bit overpowering to my eye. There does indeed seem to be a strong green tint, especially compared to the original file. Also to my eye, I think adding clarity would separate the buildings more. Overall an interesting composition though Mar 16th
36 Mar 25 Comment I agree with Larry; this is an impactful image. I really like the color palette and your composition with the location of the sun within the frame of the trees with the weight of the tree on the right offset by the sun on the left. There are a couple of sun flare spots I would consider removing but leaving flare in an image is a maker's choice too. It appears there is some tonal differences between the large tree and sky that may be the result of darkening the sky during processing. If you wanted, you could use a really large soft brush to expand the sky mask to reduce that. Mar 9th
36 Mar 25 Comment There is a lot to look at in the image, and I think the moon adds a lot of interest even though it is small. To my eye, the coolness of the shadow part of the image seems to be a bit of a distraction because of the color temperature difference so if my image, I would have considered warming it up a bit. Have you thought about this in B/W? Mar 9th
36 Mar 25 Comment Nicely done pano and well seen colors. Book ending the photo with red/orange leaves on both sides is a good choice. Shooting fall color in mid-day is a challenge because of contrast and loss of saturation but you seemed to have managed this well. Regarding your sharpness question, I presume you are familiar with hyperfocal distance, but it not this would have made a difference. Check out PhotoPills if you do not have it. It is an incredible app which among many other features gives the hyperfocal distance. Mar 9th
36 Mar 25 Comment I like the composition with the sun slightly right balanced by more rocks on the left and agree with your choice of shutter speed. I like the rocks as is where I can see some detail. It does appear there is a bit of barrel distortion from the lens which maybe LR/ACA did not correct. I like the sky color. It seems strange the sky color is not reflected in the water, but that may be due to the effect of smoothing out the waves with a longer shutter speed. Mar 9th
36 Mar 25 Comment This to my eye is a terrific image. I like your choice of B/W because it keeps the focus on the pier leading out to the rocks. It is well composed and has a good tonal range. To Larry's point, if you wanted more drama in the rain, one approach is to duplicate the layer and use a blend mode of Overlay just for the sky Mar 9th
