I like backpacking as well. This looks like a great spot, and I kind of wish I had been taggin along. For technique, I would have tried to get better focus, and more depth of field to get the entire image sharper.

Feeling of letting go... of water? OK! Like the abstraction.

The compass is not quite in focus, I would expect this to be the focus. Good photo though.

I realized after looking at this on another monitor that the colors were far from right. I have since callibrated my monitor so that I can see this sort of mistake better. I thought that the background was smoother and the color not so greenish/ yellowish. Hopefully I can catch this in the future by submitting a photo early enough to view it from different monitors.

White balance seems off for this shot

Hi and greetings from the CC. Good choice for your ISO setting, for a dark image there is no visible noise that I can see, I do like that you used 'colored' light I think that was a good and creative idea. And your light choices is certainly IMO where the interest of your shot lies. The reflection of the red and the shadow of the blue are points of interest to me. I would of prefered if the red on bottom was not cropped so tightly. I think technically this shot is well done, I am wishing for a bit more of a wow with perhaps the composition, the sword on a more intense diagonal perhaps making it look like it is 'stuck' into something? May have helped. My other more critical comment is about subject choice, i think it is good to ask does this subject have a wide or limited interest to people? Just a thought, good work and happy shooting!

This is VERY nicely composed, but the yellow tinge ruins it for me. If you were going for an aged look a duotone image may have worked better...

Nice idea. The yellow is too strong for my taste.
