sunsets or sunrises Lockwood Folly River at Sunset

Critiques needed and welcomed. There are a lot of jpeg artifacts in

the smaller picture that are not present in the larger image. In

trying to keep this image at an 8 x 10 format I'm wondering if the

balance of water versus the sky is "correct"? Also should I have used

a deeper DOF so that the foreground would be more in focus or does it

look right the way it is? THANKS for any comments or suggestions.

OMG this is gorgeous!!!!!!

Thanx Janet, good to hear from you!

charmingly shaped sun, fleet of birds, blurred foreground(grass),depth and nice color. Great pic

Heinsight is always 20/20. But I probably would have shot F8 or even higher. Still a nice shot but would like to see the uncropped version. It may be interesting to see a parallel crop only rather than a rectangular one. Great Colour. Still 6/5

Thanks for the comment, I was thinking the same thing about shooting around f8 or higher. I really should have been bracketing using the aperture instead of shutter speed in this instance. I'll post the uncropped version to get more feedback, I'm really trying to learn what works in different situations.

Thanks for the kind comments!

Darien, It's realy a nice photo.
