Looking Glass Falls 2005

This image fits the high contrast style of Adams and is well composed and applies the rule of thirds to good effect. The vegitation on the left is almost oversharpened. The waterfall is a little overexposed topside and the dark area on the right is a bit distractive and should have a little more detail showing. You will never see either in Adams' work. I must admit, however, my own submission has that same darkside defect that I kick myself over now. I was going to correct it after submission but later did not have time.

Overall this is a tranquil image with a full range of tones. (Score: 6)

Good idea and framed properly according to the rule of thirds. This image is more high key than it is Ansel Adams style but that did not bother me. It suffers from what most of my digital images suffer from... It looks both oversharpened and out of focus at the same time when there is a lot of fine detail like in the sand. It is made worse in a demanding challenge like this one. The top of the frame is washed out and makes you wonder more what was missed than it does enhancing the main subject. (Score: 5)

Trees - Strength and domination

Great framing and good contrast but just a touch soft in focus. Too bad there aren't more interesting details to show in the sky.

You will see that in all Adams' images they have high contrast, like yours, but also are perfectly focused. Yours is not. Yours looks to have digital sharpening yet does not seem in clear focus.
