Summer Isles

Beautiful!

And finally, this is the fourth I’m commenting on. I like this one too, but in a different way than the others. This one seems more detached—I can’t tell if the foreground is water or ice, I can’t tell if I’m on the ground or in an airplane, and I like that ambiguity. I’m wondering what the scene would look like if the sky were a stop lighter, though, since the heaviness of the darks in the top half of the frame makes it seem like the top half is somehow in a different time or place than the bottom half. Lightening the sky a bit would also play up the lightness of the warm background clouds, and would make the very light horizon seem more explainable. There—I didn’t mention the vignette. Anyway, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my chance to explore these four beautiful photos. Nice! (and I'm very glad I had to track these down to your portfolio because I've greatly enjoyed wandering through your photos--I like your work a lot)

I am grateful to you both for your kind comments. In particular I want to thank  Leslie for the very detailed critiques on the 4 images I have posted. This sort of feed back is so helpful and I greatly appreciate the thought that has gone into these reviews.

Many thanks again.
