Out on the Ice in Helsinki archipelago, the conditions could not have

been better, a blue sky with some white high altitude clouds, and the

evening mist creeping up on you.

As usuall please leave a comment, the image is unmanipulated, unfiltered.

I expect a reason/explanation for ratings below 3/3 otherwise it's no

idea giving a photograph bad ratings, if you can't explain what's

wrong with it, and I will interpret this as ABUSE.

Thank you all!

Andreas

I like your stance on 3/3! I love the colours and the mood. As a complete image I think it lacks something. Perhaps the person is too small, although I know we are all rather insignificant to mother nature! The land formations which I think are important to a photo like this are not as interesting as they could be.

The mood you have created is quite wonderful!

In a case like this I mark the aesthetics lower because of the overall impact of the image, even though its the aesthetics that create the strong mood and I mark the originality up because of the strong mood you created. We can't rate "intent" so I include that in originality. I wish we were rating "aesthetics" and "thought", not sure how much originality happens anymore!

John:

What a 10+ comment! Thank you wery much! I agree with you, the islands lacks a litle punch, and the person (my girlfriend) is a bit to far away, but she was more intrested in us spending some quality time together than me taking shots:) I'ts a shame that the Islands where not closer together.

But mothernature shots are normally more difficult to capture, than controlled indoor situations.
