Rock and Water

Geologically interesting, as this shows various historical levels of lake/river. Great detail on the stone wall. Lovely luminous glow on the water. I think this needs an additional element of interest, especially a focal point.

A bit too much center middle for me. While I think the highlight detail was well contained, the shadow detail is lost in several shady areas. It appears to be a high contrast time of day. I do like the tone of the sky and the sky gradient.

Truly beautiful. My opinion is the conversion from color to B&W could have produced a more dynamic tonal range. As elegant as this is, the monochrome version seems slightly flat and possibly underexposed. Needs more dynamic light.

A River Runs Through It

Possibly an overcast sky with snow laden clouds. The sky's lack of features and detail distract from what is an otherwide great job on the rocks and river. Super job of controlling shadow detail.

Wonderful detail in the rocks and pool. Pleasant LH reflection. The sky was not very kind to you. I think you managed it well, but the ridgeline trees are in deep silhouette and the sky sort of consumes the detail there. It's a very good effort.

Daybreak on Fogerty Creek

The sky reflected in the water is quite bright relative to the brightness of the sky itself. Great fog wisps on the river. The acute angle to the sun has created quite a few silhouettes, which are interesting shapes and forms, but also represent lost detail in the shadows.

Molika pines, Pelister National Park

I like the sky Great clouds and nice gradient in the blue. I find the rocks in the foreground to be "too much" of the scene. I understand why you presented the portrait orientation. The peak to the valley beyond and below begs to be seen. I wasn't there, so maybe you are cropping out something in the distance. But, I would have preferred a landscape orientation with this scene, showing more depth into the distant valley.

Enjoyable scene to inspect. Good choice to use the foreground rock formation to ground the scene. It does create a three dimensional effect. The layering of lake, forest, mountains and sky are a pleasant combination. I would have liked to see a bit more clarity and contrast in the midrange to distant peaks. But, you can only capture what the day offered.

Holsfjord before the rain

Super great sky and clouds. Exceptionally good control of exposure throughout. The fjord and the surrounding shoreline provide an interesting base for the drama above.
