Very nice image, Didier! 

I will say that, for me at least, everything is a bit centered. While it is a very nice, sharp, crisp image next time I might try to play with composition a bit more. Maybe drop the horizon line down further and remove some of the extra reflections on the water. The reverse could be done, as well. You could raise the horizon line and really feature those water surface reflections.  You have managed to capture a great mood in this image!

You've been able to capture an incredible sense of movement even though much of what is in the frame is a static object. Well done!

Wonderful balance of forms and values!

Hey all, I'm pretty sure most of us are familiar with the typical views of

the FLW's Guggenheim New York. Here is my take on attempting to

distill certain critical elements of the building, while presenting it in an

otherwise atypical manner.

This was shot with a 17mm tilt-shift sleeps with an attached 1.4x

extension tube. This effectively transformed it into a 24mm (23.8) tilt-

shift.

I appreciate any and all feedback, many thanks!

I am really enjoying how you played with scale here showing how the trees dwarf the skiers. Good exposure, you recorded full detail in the snow. Also it's a nice strong diagonal composition. Well done.

I generally enjoy this image as it seems to be visually simple and yet speaks volumes towards the subject of light. It does this in somewhat of a subtle, sneaky way. It isn't shown in long shadows of trees or of light streaming through a window. Instead, the entire ridge of the mountain which protrudes towards the photographer/viewer is divided into a light side and a dark side. However, since the large areas of value make this a fairly "clean" image I am distracted somewhat by the flare from the sun. Was a lens hood used? If not i would recommend using one for situations such as this to prevent stray light from entering the lens. Also, good decision to place the horizon just below the middle of the frame. Aside from the flare, I find this image to be very serene, very tranquil. It is a pleasure to look at.

Supriyo,

     Such wonderful use of overlapping shapes, like overlapping invisible rooms or divisions. It's  fantastic! The light adds so much to the story, especially with the ornamental woodwork. I appreciate your use of correct, non distorted verticals and the use of a 4:5 (I think) ratio. However, your black border cropped out a terminating point of the nearest ornamental woodwork. I am merely being picky but the corrected perspective and 4x5 lends to an architectural and the immense strength of this piece lies heavily, though not entirely on its composition. Seeing a cropped out corner of a potential frame, and therefore a potential compositional element just seems off to me. I'd rather see that corner of woodworking  then have the shadow/light line in the bottom right perfectly terminate in the corner. Just my two cents. I'm new to the site/community so I apologize if i e said too much. This has certainly landed a spot in my favorites. Very nice job Supriyo.
