Road To The Top

Striking shot, shame about the overexposed clouds. There's certainly enough shadow detail, I would definitely have brought the overall exposure down to keep detail in the highlights. Not sure about the placement of the horizon... it doesn't look like it was a deliberate decision to place it just below centre. PP has enhanced the textures of what may have been an okay photograph to one with more impact.

Not sure about the composition, why chop off a small part of the ear? I think more creative use of negative space could have transformed the photo, perhaps by including more space to the right and top. The shoulder works well in the composition tbough. The hair is a little messy, especially around her parting. The expression is not flattering, the crease between her eyes places a wall between her and the viewer. The mouth also seems to express displeasure. The face is slightly overexposed, especially the forehead and cheecks.

Not sharp enough, the eyes in particular should be razor sharp. Perhaps some USM? The stripey light is a nice idea, but I'm not fond of the mask effect on the eyes. The forehead looks unnaturally smooth. The expression is not too inspired, particularly the mouth. The background looks a little too burnt in, a little texture would help. Composition feels a little unbalanced, perhaps rule of thirds could have helped?

Every photographer's portfolio should contain a roughly textured fisherman, and here's yours! The PP is a little gratuitous for my taste though, especially in the texture of the clothes which distracts the eyes from the face. The crop could be much tighter, maybe to the bottom of the beard. The current crop takes attention away from the eyes, especially as the eyes aren't using rule of thirds. Shame the circular logo on the cap has been chopped off... I would definitely have included that rather than the upper torso. The light in the background is not good at all and spoils the photo significantly. Other than that, interesting expression and composition.

Know what you mean, that's why I rarely take part any more.

There are definitely too many flower photos in the world, they get tired very quickly. But this shot is fantastic and really says something new. I love your vision!
