Forbidden Isle, Malibu Canada

Critiques Please. Thanks for looking!

Ben,

This is a really nice photo! Great composition. The reflections and textures on the water are outstanding.

 

A couple things might make it even better. First, the overly light background directly behind the island is distracting. I assume in post-processing that you needed to darken the mountains but didn't quite finish the job up against the slopes of the island or peeking through the trees. Darkening here would improve things. Second, the left side of the island looks too dark, not showing much color; lightening up to match the rest of the island trees would be nice.

 

Nice work.

A pleasing composition. Good separation of planes. Island. Clouds. Mountain peaks. Sense of depth. In stereo it would be really powerful. I know,being a stereo enthusiast this is my kind of meat and potato shot....gs

Wild and looks so good,regards.
