Green and pleasant land

The color is somewhat lacking in luminosity. Even with a foggy day, there should be some light captured. This seems underexposed. You have captured the subject earthwork well, but with the large focal length, the vast openness of the landscape is not shown, which is a key element of composition in a minimalist landscape.

I like this photo. You got a nice high average score for this site. 5.6889 to me means people liked it but it still needed something. I really liked the composition, the lighting is spectacular, the pigeon is an added bonus and really, the horizon seems just above center, though not quite conforming to the rule of thirds. I think the saturation is decent. Possibly a little less could have worked better. The contrast is a little heavy in my opinion.

What could have made it better? Well a longer shutter speed to smooth out the water of course. Compare this photo to your personal best photo and notice the difference...



Your PB has the same saturation but is softer due to a longer exposure. The water is like glass and shows off the reflection well. Hope my comments helped.

Nice observation... There's a definite gap between the two of them. He's leaning in to kiss her but still keeping his distance and she's kind of pushing him away.

Reminds me of a Star Trek film television image. (The 1970's Star Trek!)

Simplicity and minimalism defined! You have captured an open space and minimized it into it's base elements while capturing the light and tonality of the scene.

Super rich colors. It's like an oil painting! Nice!

The colors are super rich. I like what you have done here. The landscape is shown minimally and you have captured the vast expanse of the sky. I also like the way you have lined the subject up with the light. I think the silhouette is not quite sharp enough and when I was working on my image, I noticed that applying too much noise reduction to the entire image reduced the sharpness considerably. I am guessing that might be a similar problem here.

Great exposure and quite an uncluttered look to this. The shapes, the lines, the texture, the rich color all add to the quality of the shot. I am assuming this is two exposures or a well merged HDR.

I really like the chosen point of view for this shot. It adds strength.
