…and I see you’ve notified them. đŸ™‚
I’m finding the negative concept difficult at the moment. I learn from the critique, for sure, but if I don’t see what’s wrong with it, how do I give what’s wrong ‘context’?
I’ll get comfortable with it.“I’m not sure I like the foreground”…this is more context than I’ve seen in a lot of submissions in the Shark Tank. No offense, not being a smart alec…but a lot of them have nothing at all stated….blank. In fact, only one of the first 7 posts listed in the forum right this minute has any picture info at all.
The foreground is what I’m iffy on.Thank you. I’m only about 10 ft. from the rivers edge and the growth in the foreground is pretty dead and messy. I’ll look at the original again and try leaving some of it in.
I also would tone down the highlights, a lot. If the swirl has a meaning to the shot….it may be better dark or a mid tone rather than light. I’m not a fan of really noticeable watermarks (signatures). I find they really distract from the piece.
This is really difficult not complimenting a shot….cos I do like this one.I agree about softening the bottom left. But I’d rather be focused on the majesty of the sky and hills, so I would probably crop off the bottom, maybe including the little island still.
I prefer the first one. The two flowers merging with the lilly petal. in the other two, take away from the lily itself. I like the flowers in the background but I would have used a different angle.
I’m new to the forum today, does the fact that I said ‘I like the flowers’ go against the rules, even though I’m using the term in a critique sense? đŸ™‚
I find the flare very distracting too. I’m a fan of lens flare as well, maybe if it was toned down a bit to stay with the overall softness of the image. With the background already being very bright I would use a curves adjustment to bring up the contrast and go for more of a high key processing (but I’m a big fan of high key).
