I agree about the color cast, we had a discussion on that, but I don't see any "grains" in the image. As I recollect, this was shot at ISO 100, so techinically you wont spot any noise [may be little in shadows, but that also I can't spot here] and Ram, you don't get noise due to jpeg compression, you might get some artifacts but not noise.

 

first i think this one is underexposed, at least by a stop and you were still able to blowout hightlights [not sure whether PP or high contrast scene]. foreground is dark [lack of detail], other than that it needs more than the lake and mountains, may be few trees or other interesting forms.

It is powerful, just top 2/3rd of the frame is soft [DOF] ... what about a square composition ?

example

I might be an odd brick in the wall here. To me, it looks very heavy, in terms of colors [oversaturated] and tones [too dark] and again black frame and orange border [might not be significant, but it has its own effect].

 

It's hard to believe that certain areas are NOT selectively overburnt in postprocessing, it would be helpful if thomas gives before PP and after PP shots of the image. Mind you, i am not talking about manipulation here, but the way image has been post-processed. Post-processing is as important as Pre-processing [not sure such word exists], job is not done untill a photograph has been printer successfully on paper [or any desired media].

Yes, it is little soft and dark for my taste. I feel you 'still' could have improved this image little bit more in postprocessing.

 

To me, the red tone 'cause of tungston light is little too strong [or may be its my LCD], color correcting would help you neutralize it and yes could have been sharper.

frankly, i dont see a thing here

very well thought, few suggestions though

1. try to lighten the background

2. borders around the frame is too thick [may be for my taste]

 

other than that, i like it !!!

 

 

PERFECT angle and beautiful lighting and of course well processed !!!

First i thought it was manipulated,but then i read details...very impressive, and very well seen ... nice original piece of work and yes strong composition as well !!!

Hey Parvin,

 

Thanks for the comment, I didn't know you also did photography [and that too, pretty impressive stuff] !!!

needs some human activity ...

for me it lacks little contrast

Nice composition, works well in BnW, i wish petals were a bit lighter.

looks interesting, but i wish cyan/blue was little bit purer, i mean not so muddy/dirty looking, more towards pastle ...

nice colors and nice composition, i like the diagonal flow as well

A lot of CA and i feel its over-sharpened.

Nice, but it lacks something, which would hold your eye in the light-beam; something like a white piegon or black cat !!!

Interesting, you might get away with cropping 1/2" from the top, but nice attempt !!!

Very Interesting composition, to me lower left corner seems to have lost all the shadow details [if it had any] and even sky at the left hand side.

This could have been a better portrait, if I wouldnt have spotted your PS work, it looks very obvious that you have done something to the background and little bit of foreground.

Very well seen, i guess the sign at the bottom should have been little on the brighter side, but overall very innovative !!!

i like the tones, but grains somehow bothers me, to me grains are not adding anything in this scene.

kya be ? tu bhi flowers pe aa gaya ?
