Almost looks like a watercolor or oil painting. The more I look at it, the more it grows on me.

greetings from the Critique Club

Well, you've been a part of the Site for just a few months now and already have entered a number of images in competition. Terrific.

You asked for a critique from a Critique Club member, so here I am...

You selected an interesting subject for your entry. Those nearly identical peaks make an intriguing study. You made quite a formidable barrier, though, in getting to look at them, with the straight line stand of trees and then an additional bunch of trees (?) to the lower right.

In fooling around with possible crops, I find that more attention would get to the peaks with a crop just below the straight line of trees (eliminating that bunch of trees to the lower right.) That would make your image more of a panoramic. try it and see what you think.

While that's a start, I do wonder if the mountains just lack enough focus or definition to get a viewer interested. They do have that gorgeous color, though, and that's a big plus.

So, all I can say is, "keep 'em coming." All this practice is going to result in some really good photography from you.

Hi, Critique Club here...

I think this is very creative and meets the challenge well. I don't usually like selective desats, but this is a rare exception because it adds to the image.

I like the HDR affect, I think you've really pulled out some details.

I agree with some of the comments about the busy background, it's almost hard to look at. I think a tighter crop would have increased your score by a point.

Hi
I couldnt tell what is this photo , objects are not clear , there is nowhere to focus on.
Second this , when I look ate to this photo more than 5sec.
I feel like I'm in a boat on rough sea, I feel like I'm gonna be sick.
In my oppinion it would be nice to see this one clear.

I believe you try to make it like oil paint.

Seems a little distracting for me ... would have found a sharpe focus without the camera shake more appealing ....

a tight crop on the mirror would have been better IMO, the other areas of the scene are too busy and distracting

really nice use of the mirror. All those spindly trees in shot really distract from the shot though.
