It's really close. I think if you were to add a little atmosphere in the flower layer say 3/4 of the way back.and maybe soften it back there a tad it would really sing.

Nice as it is!

I like the mother there. Maybe a little less of her would be nice I haven't looked.

However, I do appreciate your comments and opinions.

Thanks,

Marcus

Great capture at a perfect timing. Your entire book is solid and well done. Great eye! Great ear too!

I love the music. Who is the singer?

The digital manipulations leave something to be desired. The darkening at the bottom and right do not look natural.

The contrast in the furthest point upriver is too strong in comparison with the haze that would have been present to create the shaft of light.

The composition is perfect.

Foreground is over sharpened.

As is the boat and it's occupants. I think it was front focused and you over sharpened the overall image, then continued to shaper the further points?

It looks better as a smaller image. But is very nice. Since you were offended by the 3/3 critique I thought an explanation was in order for my giving it a 4/4.8

You need to take whatever rating you are going to get if you want to ask for critiques.

Sometimes we have an attachment to an image that the viewer doesn't have and sometimes the viewer is wrong or too harsh. It really doesn't matter in the end. Are you pleased?

Chin up! Nice shot!

I use to crop everything up to the subject matter but I feel that the subject has to exist withing a space and in this case, that space is what helps defines it.

The two guys in the back are part of this shot. You need a way and place in a photo to move for if you crop too tight, you get stuck. The depth is part of the dimension of this image. It creates movement and prevents it from being static.

The was not possibility for a second chance. In this situation I had to grab whatever I could. I was lucky to get this one and a few others. The sun was basically down here.

It just ins't that easy sometimes.

I love everything about it.

Well conceived and executed.
