Mono Lake Reflectionsby
ManRayfanComment by salmiakki: Greetings from the Critique Club
This is a location that I have seen a few times on DPC, definitely somewhere I would like to see for myself.
I think your image scored reasonably well for a best of challenge, but could probably have scored higher. I liked the image and gave it a decent score, 7.
Nothing wrong technically with the image, apart from, and this is just my opinion, the white balance. I realise this was a creative decision to boost the blues, but to me it feels quite strange and doesn't work. I'd love to see it reprocessed with a warmer WB setting.
As far as composition goes, I can't decide whether I would prefer a wider angle to see more of the surrounding scenery, putting the rocks more in context, or if I would prefer an even tighter crop. I know a few of the commenters stated they would like to see the foreground rocks somehow framing the picture more. I certainly would like to see the whole reflection of the background rocks. I have to say, I have no idea if that was feasible or not at that location.
As I said, i scored this quite high.
