Water and Light - No.3

I've been away from Pnet. for over a year...and anxious to receive your critiques and comments!

after being away from Pnet. for over a year...I'm anxious to get to be in

touch with old friends and to receive critiques and comments from all of

you!

stunning work. good use of light and sepia effects, this deserves more than 7's

A good shot. Try it less dark. There's no texture in most of the stones

Magical capture! well treated! Reagards/ Janis Lukas

Nice to see you back, John! ...And a start with great impact. Compliments, very impressive and elegant composition. Will follow your works from close by. Regards, El

So THIS is what you spent a year on!

 

I like the bleak texture of the stone. I can see details, but it maintains a dreary feel...almost as if the water is standing out as life and vibrance.

Good to be back...and nice to hear from all of you! Looking forward to browsing your portfolios to see what you've been up to...best regards, John

I truly appreciate your suggestion...but trust me, I usually do upwards of 20 or so versions of a photograph that hold significant importance to me...and this is how I saw this one in the end. Quite often I prefer solid form and line over detail...as in this one. I do have a photo of this scene with a ton of details, and your comments remeinded me of this...so I think I'll post it and perhaps you can tell me our thoughts on that version. Thanks Andre!

Beautiful photo, congratulations!

 

Your portfolio contains very nice pictures that show a great job and a great eye at the time of shooting and in post-production.

 

I want to thank you for rating you have given me.

 

It was a pleasure to meet you. 7/7.

thank you Stephano!

John, This is stunning!!!! Wish I was there!!!! Great job!!!! Patsy

thank you Patsy. my parents took me to this spot several times as a child, but this visit was my first in over thirty years. nice to go back to a place that changes so little that it's not discernable.

I thought I recognized that form... we camp around the corner from here regularly:)

but my shots don't turn out this nice...thanks for sharing

Grayson...good to hear from you! it's always good to hear from people have actually "been there" :) Sorry I missed your comment until now. Do you live in Tennessee? jg

Wonderful image, John. I don't feel capable to critique this image, so I'll just tell you that I like if very much. I hear the water falls when I look at it. David

A real beauty John. I would have rotated the image a bit to the right, only because I feel a bit off balance to the left while I am looking at it. Nice to have you back.

you just might be right Shawn. now when i look at it i feel like i'm leaning to the left...or maybe i am. lol ...thanks, john

this image is stunning just the way it is. rock on! i like the more abstract nature some of your images are taking lately.

 

i am working on more abstract images as well. hope you are doing great.
