CC: Hello MrsTurbo.
I see your new, welcome hope you'll continue to participate in the challenge.
Fits The Challenge-yes.
Background-N/A
Digital Processing-I think it's a bit over exposed, the sky and far-ground. I would of liked a few changes such as some more contrast. It just seems flat to me.
My Opinion-I like this shot for the most part. I think the composition/subject are interesting. I would of liked to see a bit more sky as the top of the trees are cut off and I'm seeing so much of the
marble?> walk way. Enter again...and thanks for letting me review you landscape photo.

Cumberland Falls

Fits The Challenge 100%

Composition-Content-What a great place for taking photos. This shot is well constructed. We are perfect distance from the falls (the main subject) and the hills, trees and rocks compliment them. The little touch of sky is important as it tell us where we are in relation to the horizon.

Background-Beautiful wooded winter view.

Digital Processing-A bit underexposed. For my personal taste I find this to be the only weak area. The shot is too dark for my liking. I saved it and adjusted the levels/contrast. Again for me personally,- that would of made it a 10 and a ribbon winner. The rocks on both the right and left are interesting and do add to this shot.

My Opinion-'Cumberland Falls' I like this powerful shot. The history of the falls is very interesting and I would like to see that Moonbow. I can almost hear the rush of the water and feel the spray on my face.
Thanks for the chance to review your shot, it's very well done.

Wow CC:
I'm excited to critique this interesting photo. I have few comments or suggestions to add here.
Is this a landscape?.....well, no it's not. I'm personally not a stickler for keeping exactly on the challenge. I do like people to be close to the 'challenge' idea. Here I'm hoping that you live on a houseboat and that this is YOUR landscape. ;)!
Composition-Perfect, good perspective of the dock and boat.

Background-Sunset....would be my guess, but it could be sunrise also.

Digital Processing-Wonderful DOF

My Opinion-I hope you can tell by my earlier comment and this one that I like this shot very much and really wish there was a boat dock close by. I do love the light in this shot but would of liked the levels turned up just a bit. It was almost _too_ dark to take this shot. The goldish/pink reflection on the boats is wonderful along with the sky.
Thanks for letting me voice my opinion of your photo. Hope you print and frame this one. It's a keeper.

Hi there Niten.
Fits The Challenge-100%

Composition-Content-Not my favorite view of a water fall. I think the composition, perspective could of been improved here......however he could of been hanging off a cliff to get this much....LoL

Background-Interesting almost a natural window between the rocks. That alone would of made for a good photo.

Digital Processing-It's a bit dark and over saturated and muddy looking...that is for my personal taste. Doesn't mean that it's wrong.

My Opinion-I like the shot but not crazy for it. I'm seeing too much water falls/dark hole area and I want to see more of the area at the top. This view is too limited. The fall colors on the top are far more interesting then the water falls. This is not one of your better shots.
I still love your Kiwi shot as one of my all time favs. I have tried to duplicate it many times with little luck.
Thanks for letting me review your shot.
