Late night after rain - British Columbia - Canada

Hi everyone. I'm a beginning photographer, and I was wondering how my pictures were (that's why I posted them). Can you please give me some comments about how to make my pictures good/better? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm a super amateur photographer, and know almost nothing about

what to look for when taking pictures. I would appreciate it if

someone could tell what can be done to make this picture good/better.

What a gorgeous shot! You framed it right (with the tree level being at the 1/3 spot). You exposed it right. The only thing that would make this a slightly better shot would be if you had used a slightly wider lens to get more of the sky (so you could get some of the darker area that is above that bright area). The reflection has this darker area, and I think the sky should have had some as well.

 

Still, it is a winner in my book!

 

I am an advanced amateur now (I think) :)

 

 

I do not have much to add to previous comment. Unfortunately, you did not have a brilliant orange sunset. However,you did the best you could under the circumstances.

In response to your request for critique, this image would show much more detail in the dark areas if the film was scanned, not the print.
