Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well

Well, it was fall foliage colours they were after and thats what they have in abundance here! This is a lovely scene that shows the beautifully coloured foliage off well together with the reminder of snowy colder weather to come. Your composition works well with the tree forming a frame for the left of the frame together with close detail of its lovely leaves. The long exposure has transformed the water into the major feature of the image, the silkiness and the contrasts make it work very effectively. The sky lets the image down as a whole but the rest of the image is so strong that we can largely dismiss it but not altogether and I would say that this is probably why it didn't do even better for you.

An excellent entry well done Otto.

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing landscape that meets the challenge.

Ah, those good old Northern lights, they always work well and this is no exception, what a gorgeous framing arc they make here. The landscape is well chosen and interesting and the cloudscape adds more interest too. I find myself, however, drawn to the bright light in the right half and the way it is illuminating your subject, at first I thought it was the midnight sun and realised immediately, no, its the wrong time of year for that. I'm assuming its a strong light you have placed there to illuminate that part of the scene? It's the base that whatever it is that is holding my attention trying to work out what it is. Because of this it is losing some of its effect on me I'm finding it too distracting, but for all that it it is still essentially an excellent panorama.

Congratulations on the ribbon, well deserved.
