Nice depth of field here! The overall image seems just a teeny bit dark, but still good. I like the fact that you used nearly the full image size available, too!

Very relaxing. The composition is excellent - the reflections in the water, the person sitting in the space between the mountain peaks, the reflection of the blue sky in the still water - very peacful and quiet. A sound we could all use more of! 9

I only wished you had gotten a spot for your prop. With 2 person in photo, it takes away from this beautiful shot. Did you think about cropping them out and just leaving the beautiful reflection of the mountain. I think you should come in the top 3.

fabulous composition, I love the reflections. I think its certainly peaceful, but silence isn't the first thing I think of when I see this shot. Won't ding you for it though, I think its could be sound for sure. :)

This is too funny. I love the expression on the dog! I get into staring contests with my dog all the time. He always wins.

FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Hello Randy,

I am glad this picture ended up with a good score, because it is a very good shot. My main "complaint" is the title, "Comfortable Silence". Somehow, the silence does not look comfortable exactly, more "wary" (on the dog's side) or even just a bit confrontational. It looks to me like the man is winning the staredown.

The white background is striking (btw, how did you get it so white?). The edges (hairs) around the top of both heads look slightly "lost" (I think "blown out" is the term that's used for this). Focus is good, could be slightly sharper, but it's good. Sepia is a good choice IMO. Simple border is perfect.

The more I sit here and look at this picture, the more I think, "I like it, but there's something that's bothering me about it, and it's NOT the title." One thing that strikes me is that the shape of the dog comes from below (from the bottom up), whereas the man comes from the side (from the left). Makes the man look somewhat aggressive (IMHO) compared to the dog. Also, the large amount of white space attracts a lot of attention that possibly should be spent on the figures instead.

I don't think I have any good advise on how to make a good shot like this better, sorry. It's a good shot. It causes a pretty strong reaction in the viewer, which is very good. I guess I'll stop here.

Congratulations on an excellent finish! BTW, I love your shot of the mountains and the moon! It looks like a painting almost.

Take care,

Ursula (uabresch)
