I agree with Bear about the tilt...LOVE the contrast in color between the bridge/water and the trees!!!

Comment by Bear_Music:
In general I love this kind of stuff, but this particular example is too "linear" to please me. I might accept the vertical linearality of it, but the diagonal banding is fighting that and I don't find the result all that pleasing.

Comment by Bear_Music:
This is a hard one for me to call. It's a very powerful composition, but I feel that the the rendering of the tonal values is not all it could be; I feel as if there's a sense of luminosity that's not quite breaking through. If I were working on it, I's be double-contrast-masking the darker zones, first with screen mode and then a second pass with soft light or hard light mode. This will bring contrast into the darker zones without blocking up the darkest parts so badly.

Comment by Bear_Music:
Overall this pleases me, but I'd use selective color to get a hint of hue in the white sun-disk, and Id carefully clone out the bush that's interfering with the lead runner's foot.

Comment by Bear_Music:
Neal, this shot feels tilted to me. The railing posts on both sides are leaning right. It looks like you've leveled the imaginary "horizon" at the expense of the foreground verticals. I'd try squaring up the verticals if it were mine. In any case, as a transition it seems more "manmade to natural" than "fall to winter" to me.

Like the colours, but the blurring just doesn't do it for me
