Not letting go of my leaves!

Thank you for taking the time to view all comments and critiques are

appreciated! Leslie :)

Hi, Leslie,

The image is undoubtely impressive but a little too agressive. If you do not follow a rule of minimum 80/20 or 70/30 (Hot colors/cold colors) the image is not "soft" or "relax" for the eye. Of course, these images have their public and are very commonly used in marketing to attract quickly your eyes but it is difficult to pose the view on the image without experiencing something opposite to peace or relax.

I would recommend to include some more brown, black, dark blue or dark green colors to make it more relax and you will obtain better results. Hope could be of help. Enjoy your time. Ikusi arte (basque language "see you"). Josemi Gondra.

Thank you for taking the time to view and your advice.....I think you are right with the hot hot hot...I am going to take it back to the editing table and see if I can calm it down so to speak. Best, Leslie :)

hi Leslie

good color capture. maybe try to crop the bottom of the image. less leaves would focus on the tree. regards

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my photo. I will give the crop of the leaves at the bottom a try. I apprecite your advice! Best, Leslie :)

"feeling Hot Hot Hot" as the song goes and I like it hot. Fabulous colors and great light. My only thing that I would try and change is to clone out the fence/wire and the telephone post. Still like it as hot as it is (*_*) and not deserving of a couple of low rates I see.
