Morning Dream

ANY critique and ratings, bad or good are welcome. I would especially

appreciate your ideas how to improve this image. Thanks for your

time.

Like a Mirror!!!!

Lovely reflections, especially the clouds. On first view, I thought maybe the sky colour could be stronger, but a longer look says the pale colours gives the difference. (hope all that made sense)

The pic is very nice, as well as the reflection and it's quite sharp. Seems to be slightly noisy and has a kind of yellowish tone. Is that natural?

Ezequiel, Audrey and Armindo, thanks for viewing and your fedback.

 

Audrey, I agree with you. I tried to saturate the sky, but gave up because it didn't improve the balance.

 

Armindo, you are right, it's quite sharp and have a slight noise. The noise is a price for this sharpness. To get appropriate speed (1/125, hand held camera) I had to increase ISO up to 100, that usually increases noise. Yellowish cast is close to real at that time (sunrise).

Vlad, how can you improve perfection, this is wonderful - Richard.

very good silent mood and beautiful light. no idea how to improve it, may be with a black swan drawing waves between the clouds-reflection on the sea ;-)

good work Vlad.

Very beautiful reflections and a great shot too!! Congrats!

The reiteration of the cloud layers and the long horizontal of the trees is great! Very nice sense of balance. Colors are restful. I'd like to go fishing there. Regards.

I *really* like the composition - the fact that you got more clouds in the reflection than in the real image is wonderful.

 

Gripes: too dark (on my monitor), the little fluffy cloud at the top is cut in 2 (slightly sharper crop would fix that) and the yellow hue. The noise does not bother me.

Richard, Robert, Abijud, and Walter, thanks very much for your comments and ratings.

 

Tom, I appreciate your critique. Actually, I captured two kinds of frames (as usual), more *real* (as you say) and vice versa. My choice was in favour of what you called wonderful, that is two clouds in the reflection, one in the sky. About gripes, i)on my monitor density is OK; ii)you are right about that fluffy cloud, I'm lazy to clone it out, my fault; iii) after I got remark from Armindo about yellow hue,I re-checked real sunset+sunrise...everything is reddish/yellowish at that time, what can I do...

I like it!

It's a very beautiful photo...

Great composition. You have captured the mood of a very peaceful scene.

You nailed this one, Vlad.
