*Critique Club*


Ok I have to say wow, as a Critique Club member I keep getting these wonderful photos to critique. Sometimes this makes it harder, because they are so good, and of course The Enchanted Forest is one of these. I loved this shot during the challenge and personal thought it would have placed higher, but I guess people were looking for out of the blue fantasy shots. The composition of this shot is just excellent and the red glow is amazing. Very rarely are you able to and let alone capture this amazing sky color. I think your frame is filled perfectly and if you had cropped it anywhere it would take away from the overall feel of the shot. I would be extremely proud of this piece, you have done some more excellent work.

I really love this composition. The only thing I think could be improved upon is the coloring. When I look at it, there is almost a light hazy sheen, but the entire image isn't washed out, because the red in the clouds is very vibrant. If you have Photoshop (or some similar editing program), I would try adjusting curves and reduce the noise. I think darks will be crisper, and all the colors in the sky more vibrant. The composition itself is just wonderful.

Beautiful! I love lighthouse shots and this is one of the best I have seen....you don't often see a reflection of the lighthouse.

This is a lovely shot, on my monitor it looks a little bit "milky" (blacks are more grey than black). I am sure a bit less exposure and more contrast would sort this out.

Lovely. I feel the rooftop(s) detract from the shot some but it is really beautiful.
