Thsnk you Tobie and Rob. Exactly the kind of critique I was hoping for and need. Now that you’ve pointed it out I agree that foreground interest is missing. Something for me to keep in mind. Overprocessed? Hmmm? Very recently, I realised I was falling into that trap so you are almost certainly right. I think I may have added saturation…

I took this wanting the blueness of both sky and sea to be a feature, used a polarising filter to accentuate. Had content problems on both left and right, used what I thought was the best angle. People who’ve seen it don’t seem too impressed. Would appreciate comments. A view in Honfleur Harbour

I agree with the first two comments. Definitely cut out the brightness above the bridge. Brighten the scene and adding contrast might help, perhaps giving it a warmer tone, too, but you’d have to experiment with that. If you can’t remove the bright flower then perhaps recolouring might help.

Started taking snaps of family and friends around 60 years ago. Took a strong liking to it. Always wanted to be an artist but my colour sense is lacking and I can only draw a straight line. Later in life, after seeing big prints in galleries, I realised Photography could be the answer. Dabbled, joined a club, built a simple darkroom and enjoyed…[Read more]

I like this. For me, cropping out the top of the tree and a little from either side, keeping the man framed and on the Third might be an improvement.
