Truckee River

Please Critique. Please comment about the composition as well.

Thanks,

This is a beautiful scene. I really like the color, very calming!

I like it. The leading lines of the river bank (and actually the river itself) take the viewer right into the picture. It is well composed.

I like the overall cold blue winter tone and the foggy mist that looks like snow suspended in the air. I think it is the water, at least in my mind, that sets the general tone for the color. Very comforting scene, thanks for sharing. Bill Magee

 

Good color, good contrast.

 

I would say you exposed for the snow perfectly.

 

Great shot.

 

Too bluish for my taste. Sky is dull and the horizon is too centered.

Too blue? Maybe not, I have been up there sometimes when it really is that color. The snow is a bit blue, yes, but sometimes it really is. (Mostly when the light is subdued like this so that your own eyeball catches the blue-ness.)

The composition seems quite good to me too. As scenes go it does not grab me that much though. Without seeing it in absolutely ginormous size, I can't say for sure, but it looks like if it were for sale in an art store, some would like and buy it, and I would not -- just my tastes. :-)
