Critiques


:iconhgonzag:
Well, I'm really looking forward to critique one of your photos.

I will start with the negative part, "for me".
I don't like the framing in this photo, you will try to capture a lot of beautiful thinks and you have a descompensate photo with a lot of air in the lower right corner.
I know that is so complicate to do a different framing, but I need more tree with his reflection, or more stone cutting some lower part of the photo to obtain a semi-panoramic photo.

In the other hand, the textures of this photo are incredible defined, and with the exactly contrast.
You have a good b&w technique and with his beautiful and soft toning you obtained a quite/peaceful photo, that invite to ask me "Where is this place?".
The stone in the first place give to the photo a good depth of field that I like to see in landscape photos.

Is a beautiful photo with a good post-process technique but compared with the quality of your work I can tell you, "I want more".

Wow, that is brilliant. Let me start with the ones I like.

First of all the composition. You have captured the moment and the feel just the right way. The reflection of the tree accompanied with the rock in the middle of the lake add the feeling of balance to the image, a fact that is truly remarkable and not easy to get. Also, no exaggerations were used in reflections, which makes the subject simple but not boring.

The technique is quite good, too. No over or underexposed spots.

However, I am not sure about this image in BW. I mean, ok the fact that is BW makes it more dramatic, but do you really need it when you can capture the staticness of a moment with nice colours too?

Great angle, and spot to shoot from mate. The rock in the water works really nicely as a foreground, with such great reflections. (As well as the tree on the left)

Was this taken at sunrise?
