I'm looking for constructive criticism. Let me know what you think or

what you'd do different ... and WHY!! Thanks!

I like light. Maybe a landscape format would be better.

I'll be a beginner forever, so i shot lots and lots of film.

Welcome !

Compositionally this shot is interesting. again the rule of thirds is well applied with the trees in the left side and the picture horizontally divided in three with clouds and the two bends of the river. Additionally the bend itself helps the eye in going around the river. nice late afternoon light and interesting clouds. well done, Lou Ann.

Keep shooting and keep looking at things with that natutal photographic mind that you seem to have (and buy a polarizer filter...)

it get the viewer looking into the depths of the landscape. For me adding some fill flash for the foreground would help or maybe just cropping it out altogether. I did a little bit of work in Photoshop, hope you don't mind.It looked to me to have a bit too much yellow (white balance was off) and a little bit of work in levels. Just my 2 cents worth.

The composition is attractive - diagonals working well here. What's missing is a boy fishing on the spit of land that juts into the lake! (just joking)

I'd crop the foreground and adjust color levels in PS. Good shot, anyway.

Your photo shows such a nice landscape. It makes me wish two things: 1) to see the whole picture you saw there. 2) go on holiday!

I'd like to see the river uncut on the right side but it is a very nice photo though.

Beautiful shot

I can almost feel the "freshness" in this shot.

I think the composition is very good, however I would like a landscape shot as well.

keep up the good work!

wonderful Landscape!

In reading the comments of all these confirmed photographers i learn as much as you and i can't add hardly more. For me, the square format would work better in croping the bottom. Otherwise, i would have prefer to see more of the river on the right. If it had be possible, i would have move some metters on the right, or have take the shot horizontally. Otherwise, the light is excellent.

one of your best landscape. Very nice.

This is beautiful.

 

Maybe I missed it but what film did you use? Tripod?

 

Thanks for commenting on my barn photo. I also love the framing you use on your other pictures.

 

 

Is it Veliva? The blue is toooooo blue. But a nice shot.

No ... not velvia. I didn't write down the film for this ... it was probably Kodak Gold 200. I think that's what I was using back then.
