Outfall

Very good angle and DOF. the light play on the BG  mountains,  water, and FG rocks is soft,  as well as the shadows( one can see the details there). it was a good  time photographing this beautiful spote, and the silence talks.The house is a nice unusual addition in this landscape.

( BTW, I stopped rating even though I sometime ask for critique, .I think that the best way is asking for critique only . You are right that many good photographers left the site, probably because of shallow evaluations and the  rating. I hardly look at the rating as  numbers are not a good evaluation, a real  evaluation/critique is ,and helps.)

Absolute in line with 'Annie at rest' - or viceversa. Has all ingrediences good and interesting landscape photography should have. Guess that both captures even more powerful when seen enlarged. ( Not possible on my pc). Thank you for sharing your works, Alf, I enjoy you works!

Sincere Thanks and appreciation for your visit and thoughtful comments. It is a very beautiful spot and the little boat house I found to be very appealing.

I am in complete agreement with you about the ratings system, A rating is after all, just a number, and a number cannot possibly give encouragement  over the things we have done right or constructive advice over the things we have done wrong. As you have said, words are far more important and communicate a real flavour of what people see in our images, good bad or indifferent, all this information can help.

Thank you again for your valuable contribution Pnina

Kind Regards
