Isn't that what makes PN so wonderful! We can all have different and varing opinions on every shot seen on this site. I enjoy the multitude of ideas and treasure each and EVERY comment, not only on my photos, but on others as well. Make you a bet. Take any one scene, place two or more photographic artists there and I guarantee the shots will be different. If this was not true I would just be buying throw-away point and shoots!

 

Steven, I hope you were not thinking I was attacking your critique!

 

Jim

Incredibly beautiful scene! Your composition is excellent and there is no way this photo could be improved!

 

Jim 7/7

Scrolling down all the photos for critique, this photo grabbed my eye. Yes, the composition is questionable. However, that is what caught my eye! I do not believe that all the rules of composition are to be strictly adhered to. This is called, "creativity" and you can NOT place rules on creativity because they destroy that process.

 

I believe you took an ordinary scene and made something special out of it by not following the "rules of photography". As for the contrails, they are there, live with it!

I really like this photo! he composition is excellent as is the muted colors. Great work! 7/7

Incredible! I liken it to the wood art where different wood types are pieced together in inlays to produce a picture. You are so lucky to be able to visit these great areas. I have to say I truly enjoy your "art".

 

Jim

Wonderful capture! These are amazing animals, hard to locate and harder to photograph.

 

Jim

Nice shot! I like the composition and the muted colors. It may be just a little too light. However everything else is just about perfect. Keep it up!

Alina, the composition on this is truly great! My eye is caught by the fence and the roof of the building. 6/6

This is an excellent shot! I like the composition, shadows and reflections. The only thing that bothers me is the pixilation in the clouds. 6/7

What a wonderful place and as always you captured it very well. I really like the mountains in the background, without which this photo would have no balance. Well done!

 

Jim

Great Photograph ! I love the overall tones and balance in the composition. I have never been to Arches NP, but now it is on my must do list. 6/6

 

Jim

I just like this photo. The shading is great as is the composition and detail. Good work.

 

Jim

Nice HDR. I would back off on the fill or gamma light and crop most of the sky out. Looks to me it was a windy day and the clouds were moving rapidly across the sky. Congrats, Jim

Sergio, questo mi piace molto. L'ombrello è una grande aggiunta alla scena. Per me, tuttavia, non vi è troppo poltiglia spazio a destra della foto. Ciò può essere meglio presentata in un quadrato formato di ritaglio su lato destro. Splendida opera d'arte.

 

Jim

I'm becoming a big fan ! Great photo.

 

Jim

GREAT photo. Very good composition and lighting. Vibrant colors and details. I'm sure you are going to get the "but the contrails" feedback, but to me that is the western sky! I love it. 7/6

 

Jim

Great photo! I just put in my favorites folder. 7/6

 

Happy New Year!

 

Jim

I like the composition but the overall image is flat. This is the type of scene I would love to run into every day. I have attached my idea of what this photo should like, as per my own taste.

 

jim

Excellent! I sure wish I could have been there with you. Now I know how beautiful the park is and I must go back someday. Until then I will live the experience through your photographs.

 

Happy New year my friend! God bless you and your loved ones and happy photographing.

 

Jim

Great photo! Brings back memories. I was a Police Officer in Lighthouse Point in the 70's. When I worked the midnight shift I would usually go here to watch the sunrise. They were some of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen.

 

Thank you for taking me back. 6/6 and in my favorites file.

Ray, what can I say? Magnificent image! Great composition, wonderful colors and the clouds were perfect. Dare I to say, this is your best photo. Jim

Pierre, I have no idea how your brain works, that is probably because you are a more creative person than I, but I like this work. Its abstract but still balanced. The colors are all complimentary and pleases the eye. Great work!

Very nicely composed and interesting. I would like to see it with more detail in the rocks and brighter. Jim

Oh WOW! 7/7

I like the composition, color, sharpness and DOF. I also like the dark corners because along with the trees framing the lake it gives the appearance, to me, of looking through a "time warp". ( I have a vivid imagination!) 6/6
