These were the first rains of the rainy season hitting the Savanas

in Northern Namibia.

Comments and critique appreciated.

Very nice movement portrayed in the maize (?). Have seen plenty of shots like this where the maize is blurred by slow shutter, but this one still shows movement even though it is a razor sharp quick exposure.

However the composition, crop and sky doesn't do anything for me. Pretty boreing in fact. I guess it's an image of 2 halves !

5/5

Fantastic image David, what a leading line and subject at the end of the line !!!

I cant believe I've only just found your porfolio here on photonet. splendid work.

Very nice mood !

3, is the magic number.....

3 days spent travelling to get to this 4000m location, to see the

twins, to take this shot, in the last light of the day. Was it worth

it ? It was for me. The alpaca stew tasted as good as the view.

Looks like we have similar taste in Photos ! Thanks for your recent comment on my Patagonian Lake shot.

I love the angular reeds - what great foreground. lots and lots of angles and no curves. Then to complement the angles, an angelic sky formed from nothing but curves.

You have the horizon (and reflection), and to cap it all off, the mist.

Perfect !

Thanks for your comments.

I don't think that is noise on the right hand side shadow, but very faint detail of a forest on the far shore

Please leave comments and constructive critque !

Many thanks

Great texture, mood, colour and light.

I recommend you soften the graduation between the mountains and the middle of the frame though.

Very nice use of ND filter / composite images.

The vingetting actually adds focus to the beautiful 'lap' of water.

Well done!

I like this a lot. Great contrast between the sky and the turbines, and as the previous poster pointed out, this highlights the calm before the storm.

Very nice indeed.

On the way home from my mothers, crossed the Severn bridge in

Worcester, UK. Didn't have a tripod with me, so had to take this

shot handheld, f5.6, ISO 800, 1/13s! very happy considering !

Comments appreciated.

Very nice shot with great composition and forground interest.

However I feel you could have blended the two exposures better at the cliffs on the top left - the cliffs have a halo !

Great sunrise shot of the the most famous farmhouse in Tuscany.

I think you were standing in exactly the same place as my version !

Ha ha, great shot. I love the expression on that guys face in the middle !!!

7 for originality, 6 for asthetics.

My first upload / critique reqest for 2 years. I got a bit bored of idiots giving 3/3 ratings on photos which cleary deserve at least a 4 or higher :)

Anyway, thought I would test the water again with a few. This being the first.

15 second exposure using Grad filters and levels and sharpening in PS.

Looks over processed to me. Sky is very un natural.
