Extremely well done. -
I have to agree with Predrag on this one. The foreground is completely lost in the weeds behind it, and as said above the encroaching weeds are distracting. I had to search for the lighthouse at first, I think you are hard pressed to call that the main subject of the print. and the large black area in the middle coupled with a sky devoid of clouds makes for an awful lot of negative space.
-
There's certainly a simplicity that is very nice here. I am having a difficult time believing the colors are not doctored here. Perhaps they are not, I'd like clarification here, Predrag. No matter what the colors really are, I really cannot find much room for improvement other than to ground it a little by including just a bit more foreground, even if it is pure black.

I like the layered composition here. The exposure is the best that probably could have been done in this situation, but as others have said, the contrast in the rocks is less than desireable. The blown-out sky, while certainly not an overpowering aspect of the photograph, bothers me. I might like to see the photograph panned down, perhaps to eliminate the sky and include some foreground. That coupled with soft light such as that from an overcast day would probably make for quite a pleasing image. I really like what's here and hope you can go back on an overcast day. -
id like to see more of the cottage!
-
i'd like to see some more of the textured stone at the bottom to better frame the windows.
-
there is no detail in either highlights or shadows here, and the midtones are a bit muddy. the execution of the image therefore harms the composition. -
the converging lines are a bit trite in my opinion. -
this needs to be cropped much. much tighter. you are losing a wonderful interaction by including the bottom 2/3 of the image, as well as the right and left edges. -
If the middle girl is your main subject, she could be emphasized by eliminating the other girls faces. I would prefer to see all three girls faces in total; cutting the girls face on the left in half troubles me.
-
if this is intended to be product photography, then the label should probably be visible. If not, this would work better with the label removed; all it does is contribute negative space to the image.
-
I'd maybe do some cropping to eliminate some distracting elements in the background - the car, the walking torso, etc.
-
in my opinion the extra space on the right is wasted.
-
i'm just not seeing a focused composition here. what is your subject? the boats? the algae? the town of galicia? the colors appear washed out to me, and the lighting is unspectacular. the boats could be an interesting subject, but then why title this "galicia"? A different time of day might make the shadows cast by the boats more interesting.
-
exquisite.

i like the moment you've caught here, but there's just too much wasted space. I think that a head shot would work better, after all, thats the key part of the photograph and the expression is great.

the black doesn't really work for me. With no foreground of interest, it seems to me that this kind of shot could be taken at any coastal location on any clear day. Not the most imaginative shot here. (not trying to be harsh, sorry)
-
perfect situation for a hard-edged 2 stop grad ND filter. You've got no detail in the foreground, and it looks like it probably was a very interesting one to boot. -
The problem I see is not film or contrast grade, it's lighting. You just can't get "punch" if you shoot at noon. The lighting is overhead and flat, giving no detail in shadows and leaving the forest below with no texture. -
Unfortunately, this particular view has really been done to death.
-
I like all the birds here, but if the flyer was on the opposite side of the frame as the waders, you'd *really* have it.
