Blue Mood (Recropped)

Breaking the "rules" a bit. Wonder if this 50/50 composition works?

Feedback are as always appreciated! Thanks!!!

I think you had to go 50/50 here for the right effect, and you definitely got it. They ain't necessarily "rules", but rather "guidelines", and I think this image proves that they aren't meant to be taken literally. Very nice exposure, composition, and colors. The main interest is contained within the fog/mist (top & bottom) which makes it a good candidate for 50/50...

Reflections and colors are great. 7/6 (at least)

Very nice tones and feelings to this photo.

I don't see any harm at all with the 50/50 split in this one. I think the asymmetric carve line on the top quarter provided the leeway for it.

 

The soft light is just sooooo soothing to behold.

I agree - the 50% horizon isn't a problem for me either Atle. Very nice indeed.

Great shot Atle! The mood in this one is priceless. Great Norwegian winter capture. The 50/50 are the rule when it comes to reflections, so you have nothing to worry about! In panoramas you often should center the subject, so rules will change depending on the scene and subject in front of you!
