the Gorilla

I like the rock  very  much, . . .   the composition? I would crop a little of  the right, the composition is a little left heavy.  Haw-ever, I don't  like  the  "low  lying fog". I would  rather see water there. The attached cropped  sample image of me,  fine tubed  the  shadow details too.

Where  did  you get this  beautiful  shores and rock formation?

Hi Zsolt,

The foto caught my attention. I like the contrast of the soft water part (good long exposure to get the fog) to the interesting rock with high grade of detail.

From composition perspective I would crop the picture to square format concentrating on the left part of the foto. With the current format the foto feels unbalanced to me.

Regard Michael

Sorry for the typo, please read  . . . fine tuned.

I agree with Michael, its  need a heavy crop of   the right.

BLM.

Thank you very much for your precious suggestions. The picture is taken in Portugal, at the ocean's shore. I would never renounce the long exposure/fog, but I must admit you have right about the composition. In my thought, the big rock in the lower right would be in charge to keep the balance of the composition, but maybe it was not enough. Bela's crop look better ( although the format is changed, which I never use to do ). Just as good would look a square crop. if i ever make a square project, this will be definitely one of the pictures. Thank you for stopping by!

Looks like an angry god.

 The  first thing Ansel Adams did, after he  get the print, gone to  the chopping, catting board  and chopped a way  the  part,  he  don't  liked  to see in the composition.

 In art, including photography, no such a thing as "format". Any format  is  ok, as long as  the  image compositional balance dictate.  And  if  you like  to hold  of  the existing "format",   then,   you  have  to  get  the composition right  in the  camera in the first place, ( which  was a strict role in the film/slide era )  when  you  push  the  shutter  release. In this  case,  you  haw  to  shift  you  camera  to  the left  to  get a good  balanced  composition. All the  comments here is a constructive  critics,  try to help you, not  just a critics in a negative way. If  I  never  listen to a critics, or  getting all the  time critics, comments  like "beautiful"  I  would  never  learn  anything in my life  and  live  my life  foolishly, thinking,  I  did  everything in the right  way,  when I'm not.

All the best;  Bela
