Soft Fields of Subtlety

A nice enough photo but I’m struggling to get the feel that it’s looking away from a low sun with sky being so bright on the horizon. The few flowers in the foreground do give the image a nice balance. The bright spot in the sky is a curious thing. I wonder if this is a real wide angle shot and that is the moon. If so, this does show that your looking away from the sun.

Looking for Mama

I really like the golden colour of the duckling emphasised by the golden hour. I’m assuming you’ve used a rather wide aperture which resulted in the nose being in more focus than the eye. If that eye was in better focus I feel this would have made the image much more special. I do like the smooth water and the ripple effects around the duckling.

Sunset

I feel you may get pinged by a few diehard rules police who believe that to look the other way from a sunset is to look in the opposite direction. You’re not looking at the sunset so that’s enough for me. I like the silhouetted light on the poles and the colours in the clouds. The snow on the mountains and the blue in the clouds gives the whole image a nice cool feel. The front pole with the ropes feels a little too closely cropped at the bottom but that may not have been avoidable. Overall quite nice – good luck.

What appeals most to me here is the wonderful shadows created by the low sun. Tilting the image so the car is facing uphill I feel is correct to give the image a more comfortable feel even if that means the stone chock is on the wrong side. On my old laptop the rear quarter of the car appears blown. I had a look on my mobile (which I feel is better calibrated) it isn’t that obvious. I do like those shadows and I believe that is what you are really trying to portray here. Well done.

I gave one 10 and two 9's. This was one of my 9's and the only one of my top three not to ribbon. A truely beautiful image. Congrat's on a top 10 finish.

Very clever! A great take on a different point of view created.

Without the shadow this would have been an interesting and well produced shot. However, the shadow has moved this to a different level of artistic achievement that really appeals to me. Well done!

Just wonderful! The lighting (as well as point of view) is perfect. I would like to know if the lighting is natural or something you have created (I suspect the later as it is so good). Well done!

What a wonderful image. I love the lighting effect created from the opening (especially the shadow of the cat) as well as the graininess created. However, it’s the interesting perspective you have produced that has made me stop and really appreciate this image. For me this image is something I feel posthumous has created (or at least something he may appreciate). Well done!
