I would second what @gordonjames said and add something; for me the large foreground shadow(s) were distracting. I see that if you were to shoot from in front of them you’d lose the upward slope of the bridge structure. Is it possible to shoot the same shot at a different time of day, or perhaps on a cloudy day?

@joanna
When I resized the image to the 500 pixel width requirement it came out as you see it. I don’t know why, but I’m gonna screw around with it and see what happens. So much to learn, only one life to live…Your comments made me think, and I realized something. This image, and I wonder how many more like it I’ve…[Read more]

Thanks for the heads up on the album shot. Here’s a link to a larger version on the web: http://pswiech.smugmug.com/Abstract-and-Esoteric/Negative-Space/i-5b6sKwr/0/XL/DavisLake_20140423_DSC_1604-XL.jpg
I left the WB on “As Shot” because I really liked the insane blue fading towards white that the sky reflecting on the water…[Read more]

Pylons in Still Water 1I enjoy creating abstract images. This one employs negative space, one of my favorite composition elements. This photo was taken while facing East at 17:09 (5:09 PM) on 12 April 2014, at the Davis Lake Federal Recreation Area along the Natchez Trace Parkway, South of Tupelo, Mississippi, USA. My intent is to make the pylons…[Read more]

Everything looks so dark… even the lavender. The very top of the clouds looks blown out. Did you employ a vignette? I ask because, both upper corners and the bottom look very dark compared to the adjacent areas. On the upper right dark area, I notice a little purple hue.
Unless there was some movement going on, I might have tried a…[Read more] -

@lunac
The first thing that I notice is that the picture appears to be higher on the left than the right. Both the horizon and the bale just don’t look level. With the horizon right in the center, there is a lot of sky. Normally when the sky is clear and blue as it is, and you have wispy clouds as you have here, the clouds are white. I’m seeing…[Read more]

Paul Swiech replied to the topic Angel and a butterfly in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 9y, 9mo ago
Hi @blacksilver,
In looking at the first image, I find that my eyes are drawn to the angel rather than the butterfly. Then I notice that the angel’s head is partially missing, and I don’t see the right wing, (unless that it what is to the right of the angel’s face,). I think my eyes go there because there is a lot of contrast between the bright…[Read more]
