How does the division of your picture into three frames enhance the photo? How does this "tell...a story or illustrates a concept or object" better than the original image?

Great use of selective desat. The method seems to work wonderfully in triptych. A normally don't like ellaborate frames, but consider a thin (like 1 px) black frame around the white of the ikages. It is missing something to really make the images pop from the frame. Lovely scene, with great composition.

Good subject for a triptych. I think it would have been better with a black frame. Individually, these are very strong shots, and the white frame pulls the eye away from them.

Compsition: wonderful composition and an unusual perspective but i think i would have liked to have seen more of the actual lake than the lake bank.

Lighting: natural light is always a wonderful choice is done at the right times like you did here so congrats..lighting is great.

Focus: I also love the deep DOF here as it give the feeling of really being there in person. I can almost feel the breeze and smell the lake so wonderfully done here!

color: while this is a great monochrome photo for your portfolio i do not feel this is an actual High Contrast photo. there looks to be alot of variations of grey rather than a strong black and white difference. maybe trying to adjust the curves and the contrast a bit more would have made this photo meet the challenge better IMHO.

This is truly a great photo! You should be very proud.

~~ please take my suggestion and opinion for that and nothing more. I do not claim in any way to be a professional or even an experienced photographer. I will simply (and I try to be as gentle and considerate as possiable) state my view. If you have any questions or wish for me to explain my view more clearly please dont hesitate to pm me. My only intention is to help my fellow aspiring photographers to the best of my abilities. Thanks and stay safe ~~Cher~~

Nice landscape, but I think it lacks a bold perspective.

Very pretty. This evokes a sense of calm. I like the yellow greens against the blue of the water and sky. I wish this image were larger - I'd like to study the details of the rock wall. One sheep , cow or horse would really make this a perfect shot for me. Nice!

Beautiful landscape! I love the deep DOF, contrasty black/white tones, and the overall depth and feel of the image. This is by far my favorite of the challenge--10 from me, and it's going in my favorites. Congrats.
