Oh yes. Very Nice... Gotta be a top 3 as this really stands out for me. Looks like you had to resort to some petty high ISO to get the capture, but you got away with it IMO. Excellent.

Hello from the critique club.

Hi Carl,
This is a very nicely observed photo. You have definately achieved what you set out to. You had a good selction of feedback on this picture and a lot of people appreciated the impressionist/painterly feel. Great work.

It is a shame that these type of pictures do not tend to score as well as they should, perhaps because voters spend so little time on each image. Your photo is subtle and as such perhaps does not have that attention grabbing quality that would lead to a 6+ score.

Personally I very much like it, although it somehow manages to give an impression of being cramped which feels odd in a landscape. Perhaps this is the tight crop.

I wonder also if it could be improved by the inclusion of a static object, such as a gate, rock, tree or person to 'anchor' the picture.

Overall an excellent take on the challenge (IMO) I would like to try something similar myself so in that way inspirational also. Great work.

Regards

Chris
