single photos nostalgy

This beautiful scenery was captured shortly after the sunrise at

Monemvassia/Greece

A gradual grey filter was used to enhance the dramatic sky

I find the ratings somehow "amazing":)

Looking at the very low ratings I am wondering what I could have done better. Is the light not right? Or even the composition? The motif is boring?

I really do not mind about how people rate because there is nothing to win here but at leat I hoped to read a few comments from the experts who give very low rates (i.e. <4) (by the way not only to my pictures)...

 

Hello Yiannis! My rating rises from the impressions I get from this image. I like the composition and the overalll feeling - they are just fine. I lower my rating from extremely good points, because of the rather dark area on the lower left corner and because this seems a bit underexposed on my monitor. I am quite sure, that this underexposure is a deliberate effect, but it annoys a little. On the other hand, it also gives personality to this image. So, rather good points, but not a total winner. :-)

Thank you very much for your comment!

I know myself that the picture is not a winner, I was just wondering about the "3" ratings which seem to be a "standard rating" for some people. Even "1" or "2" appear sometimes under photos (not only my photos) and this I can mostly not explain at all.

Ratings are not important to me but when I give a very low rating then I am trying to explain the reason. If I cannot explain a low rating or if I have no time to do so, then I do not give any ratings.

But not all people are the same

Thanks once again!

 

regards

Yannis

Very muddy picture and appropriate title! Regarding rating its only human nature...
