Too much H&S correction methinks. It has that solarised look so common these days with PS..

Comment by CEJ:
I am sure the first thing that comes to my mind will already have come to others as well - I am not so much of a stickler for a straight horizon. Sometimes it works and other times it is not really important. In this scene I think it was on the important side of the equation.

Comment by AmeedEl-Ghoul:
DPC is a very strict photography environment. If you got a 5 in here, it means it is = 7 outside.
If you got 7 in here '' Ribbon '' then you are a 10 outside,
The point is, you need to keep trying till you reach the 6, after that aim for a ribbon,

Ask your self these questions,
What do I think of my picture?
What do I think of my picture compared to the rest of the entries on DPC?
Is it technically correct? Is it creative? does it have a wow factor?
If you got all the above right, then there might be a ribbon, at least there will be a 6 and that for sure.

Now if you allowed me to honestly critique your submission,
I would say the exposure is correct, the green looks green and the blue looks blue '' I said honestly :) ''. Is it interesting? Not really .. looks like a point and shoot taken by a 6MP camera and got adjusted using Photoshop. Does it have the woww factor .. no,
I would give it 6 '' I am not conservative when it comes to scoring '', The reason I am not giving it less, because technically it is very correct, nothing wrong about this picture. The reason I am not giving it more than 6, it is not interesting and doesn't have a wow factor ..

I hope I didn't bore you so far.
Now if your blood pressure is still under control :) You will say ok well this smart$$ critique is leading to nowhere, doesn't contain a real advice in here ..
My Big advice is, make the picture interesting,
How?
Landscapes are best taken either by sunset or sunrise.
Include something in the composition beside the trees and the sky, a Big tree, a Rock, a child '' you have 3 super models under 6, user them ''.
Hit the view from a diff rent angle, lay on the ground put your feet on the sky .. shoot, try, shoot, try .. change angle .. ask your self again .. is it interesting enough .. not really keep trying .. when you find a picture that wowws you, Only then enter it here. Ask for honest critique, you might end up with another pain in the A$$ like me that might give you some pointers.

Out of my last 6 entries, 5 of them got over 6 and ended up in my front page.


Sorry for the long critique, I am sure it is the longest ever you got for one of your pictures, but we awe you this for the sake of the amount of time you spend trying, the money you spend on gear.

One last thing, not a single word mentioned above means any kind of disrespect, all the critique in here is out of love, and wishing you best of luck.

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
Truth. You might have done better to photograph a shoehorn on a table. Or maybe not.

Uh, you traveled to such a great landscape and only took 205 shots? Pixels are cheap. No wonder you are demotivated! But, I'll send you another flashcard if you like.

Added: Taking back the flashcard offer. What you really need is some babysitting.

Comment by mm767cap:
Congrats! Your poster got me to comment! Nice colors, and a very nice scene. Love the poster part. I'm going to pass along a tip that was given to me by someone who is AMAZING with landscape photography. I'm a total newbie myself, so please take anything I say with a grain of salt. When you are shooting a landscape, for the horizon to be in the middle it should probably be symmetrical (ie: a reflection of a mountain on the water). Otherwise you probably want the horizon to go through either the top third (to emphasize the foreground) or the bottom third (to emphasize the sky). Which one? Depends on which one is more appealing. In this case I would probably have moved the horizon up to a little more and tried to get something interesting in the trees down below as the sky isn't as intriguing. I hope this helps. You still get a 6 from me!
