i too agree with too much foreground. the lack of any significant detail or interest in the foreground detracts from the grandeur of the stacks behind. a horizontal format crop of the stacks, sky and reflection would hold much more appeal and, i suspect, would receive greater ratings. having said all this, the exposure is well controlled (no burnt-out highlights), the great pastel colors are subtle and very natural, and the hint of reflection compliments it all.
-
further to my previous comment, this is one of those scenes i wish to return and photograph myself. i do like this image, i'm just left wishing the colors in the reflection were more 'on par' with the colors in the sky (perhaps the result of too much ND grad??). regardless, a good shot of a Northumberland classic. -

Will - thanks for your return visit. as for the trail, no i didn't make it. i think it's there as a result of some farm machinery. trust me, i'm not a huge of fan of getting on the wrong side of some disgruntled farmer for trumping through his field. i'm even leary taking a few steps into the field as i did for this shot. thanks again. -
this is now an updated version of my original post. in retrospect,
the original had ridiculously low contrast and i think that this one,
with just a slight levels adjustment, is much better. i know there's
nothing to compare to, but any thoughts in general?? and to answer
Don's question, no i didn't tramp through this guy's field. i value
life too greatly to do such a thing :-)

having been here myself, i can say that this is a truely powerful image of this incredible place. the deep and dark grey of the water is complimented by the dark, gloomy clouds off to the right, while the blue sky gives the ice a perfect accent. well composed with the smooth curve of the ice. my only critique, and its small, perhaps a bit oversharpened?? either way, an incredible iamge. -
gold...a color of winners. you've got one here. -
excellently captured. beautiful!
-
superb!! vivid color, strong contrast (colors and textures). great image. -
winter offers the opportunity to explore the interesting patterns and
subjects of a nearby frozen marsh - all thoughts and comments are
greatly appreciated. thanks.

the colors make this one - from the lovely blue clouds, the fiery sunset and the vibrant flowers to the subtle hints of green lichen this one is a feast for the eyes. stunning.

great image. the dark sky and overall strong colors do a wonderful job creating an ominous mood. i find it intriguing the way the blue on the boat ties in well with the sky, and the touch of rust stain (?) on the boat works well with the beach. i also love the wide angle and low perspective. all round great work!
-
i love your approach to this subject. the color, lighting and exposure lenght are all perfect. my only critique, a bit over sharpened - too much white amongst the moss and some fairly obvious distortion along the water/rock edge. otherwise this is fantastic!! -
a refreshing, unique and powerful view of an oft-photographed site - an image is always a success when those things can be said. very impressive Jerry.
-
i like the effect. great use of wide-angle. congrats on a great cause. -

i like the strong clouds, and the reflection works well. i just think this lacks a bit of color that would give it more 'pop' (ie. replace all the browns with a strong green and this would be more appealing). i prefer this over the tighter crop. just my thoughts. -
Avery - why 'Red Sky'?? anyway, a couple tips. careful shooting into the sun like this - the large blown out area on the right side detracts from the appeal. other than that, this just feels a bit flat. nothing to really give it depth or to get the eye moving around the image. just my thoughts. keep shootin'!!
-
the clarity and color are outstanding. just wish there was more to the sky (did you use a polarizing filter??)
-
a very pleasing image. beautiful gradation in the sky.
-
simply beautiful john. the color gradation in the sky is perfect - excellent job at keeping the star trails visible throughout as well as getting a bright, crisp horizon. perfect exposure. the axis of the star trails is perfectly positioned slightly off-center and i love the wide-angle look. an all round top-class image - well done! i almost forgot, the cloud streaks are great as well.
-
a great shot. i just hope you got one with the kid wearing sunglasses as well!!
