Twilight Sonata

Kriteeq pleez ;)

 

Thank you :)

Nice. Not as creative as the rest of your work.

Bird and moon nice, but lost in the space. Would be nice to see more of them (crop away right 3/4!)... as said not particularly original though.

Is it just me or is there a little tilt from left to right... With such a beautiful sky I think it's time for a grad ND to get some more detail from the foreground. Good composition leading from the right to the left and the moon.

Wheeee! Excuses to buy more filters! LOL

 

Thanks for the comments so far. Now I AM noticing the tilt, and its driving me nuts! Time for some surgery... :) I've really been having trouble keeping my horizons straight lately...no clue why.

 

 

 

beatiful colors =) its sometimes frustrating to see something like this, with the moon and the birds and the ocean, and not to be able to capture it more beautifully than a small dot in the sky, and some dark shapes for the birds =) I'm not just saying this because I read it somewhere, but I'd like to actually see more of an emphasis on the sky, so maybe moving the horizon down in the frame, rather than it be dead center? =) very nice!

To me it looks like just a snap shot trying to be an interesting image. some sort of interesting shadows would enhance this image.

"Just a snap shot trying to be an interesting image..."

 

Isn't that what most images are? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Either one person finds it cool or another one doesn't. I find your tone to be a tad belittling.

 

Considering the moon was out over the water and on such an angle, how do you suggest I place dramatic shadows in the image?

I dont agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We just dont understand it. To normal eye, picasso's "aficinado" is meaningless scribble. piet mondrian's compositions are just rectangles. But when you begin to understand what art is, you know what piet mondrian was trying to do with his rectangles. Beauty is historical, beauty is in the eye of the understood. You have a good eye, it just doesnt show here. Nope my tone is not belittling you. I admire your photography. it's a deviation from the ordinary.

wonderful composition and expression.

Hi Laura,

I am not sure why, but somehow the darker foreground seems to distract and/or overwhelm the overall composition.

I didn't know Brooklyn could look this serene...what was behind you ?? :)

 

Seriously, I like the feeling in the dark lower half...Somehow the darkness and dark hi-lights give the water a heavy visual liquidity. The dark sand rocks ! The birds and moon and the wisps of clouds are the lightness of being. A surprisingly existential feeling in a shot that wouldnt sound remarkable if described in words. Best regards, Sarah
