Environment...

The pose and location are really nice.  I do have to agree about her hand which is clawlike and once noticed it grabs attention.

Thanks, I appreciate you stopping by to comment.

Now her daughter weaves.

Thanks everyone - I keep working on these, onwards and upwards.

Wow and wow.

A really nice lead in and good use of the aurora.  Looks like a nice clear night - worth the journey :-)

Nice low viewpoint.  The filtering seems a bit strong in the sky.  Nice detail in the waves.

Looks like a great time to be there with still water and reflection. Possibly a smidgin cramped on the right hand side and I'm not sure I like the mountain touching the dock - these are just personal preference comments.

Lovely autumn colour and detail in the rocks. Water looks good but some loss of detail.

That 'rule' is badly named, it should be called 'guideline'.  In your photo you could cut out the sky to better contain the subjects.

Too much or too little?

I just saw this again - super-freakin-awesome. The placement and the view make a nice balance. Lucky you didn't drown in those 3 inches of water :-)

Crisp, with a nice faraway expression. There is a ray of light coming from the left to her head which I find distracting. She looks a little overlaid. Nice blanket.

In isolation it's more portrait than fashion. The skin looks a bit overdone and the eyes too white. It's a good photo with good expression, I like the retained detail in the dress and shadows. As is, I would rate it a bit lower than where I think it should be (a bit higher) if differently processed (but I am but one opinion in passing.)

You have the two competing subjects and a very bright left hand side. I find that if I crop a bit on the left with my hand then it intensifies the line of sight tension between the phone and the model (otherwise I am drawn out of the photo to the left.)

Nice reflections and stillness. I struggled to notice the couple on the bench - with a bit of light it might have told the first story.

Everyone wears a mask....

This is lovely - like a loaf of bread.

Lovely Tony, love the lead in and the time of calmness.

Hi Tony,

 

Lovely viewpoint. That crab really does make a good 'anchor' for the ship. Thanks also for the interesting background. The technique conversations allow us all to learn.

 

Glen.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments and the time to look.

Beautiful colours, great time of year.
