marcobertagnini 0 Posted April 12, 2012 Everything is great in this photography (location, composition, etc.) but I find the yellow "stain" quite disturbing.I'd like to see a larger version because at this resolutions the cormoranes are a bit too contrasted and loose details. Link to comment
stp 6 Posted April 12, 2012 This is a very compelling scene. The upward sweep of the clouds, the clouds at the base of the mountain, and the contrast of the dark cormorants with the light reflections are all striking. I also find the yellow glow to be distracting. I'm guessing you want to show a house there, and I think the human presence could add a significant element to the photograph. Unfortunately, the "glow" is too artificial and too far from reality to succeed, IMO. The house is in the far distance, so I can understand your desire to try something that will make it more prominent, but I think the distance is just too great to overcome in any realistic way. A much more minor observation is the fact that reflections are always darker than the source, but here the clouds are darker than their reflections in the water. When looking closely at the reflections, I couldn't correlate them with what was actually happening in the sky. But perhaps I am simply looking too closely, and this was probably adjusted and created to convey an overall impression or feeling than to faithfully record an actual experience. As such, I think it succeeds very well in creating that impression. For my eyes, I would enjoy the scene more without the distant yellow spot. Very nice work. Link to comment

tomz 0 Posted April 14, 2012 Voting against the yellow spot also. Very compelling image apart from that. Link to comment
bobby_ho 0 Posted April 15, 2012 The composition and the contrast are great! I concur with Stephen that the yellow light is a little bit distracting.....the color is so strong that it 'direct' the viewer to focus on that spot but that is just my opinion.... Link to comment
alpenglow 0 Posted April 15, 2012 A stunning image, but I too have to cast my vote for removing the color. It is not needed and is only a distraction from an ortherwise beautiful image. Link to comment
