You shot through the glass without a polarizing filter. There's a very odd streak int he lower right corner of the window. Naturally I follow the window edges around to find that this photo was shot at an angle and it doesn't line up with the photo edge. You could have cropped that or just shot straight on.

Santa is too centered. The photo is underexposed and blurry. Try to use a tripod or a wider aperture/faster shutter speed next time.

Greetings from the Critique Club!!

The initial response to this shot is WOW, what coloration. The vivid orange and red makes for quite a statement. The detailing of the clouds is outstanding against the fingerlike branches of the tree's silhouette. It has a forboding sense to it with the darkened areas of the clouds. The perspective is well achieved with the looming sky hovering over the single bare tree.

The composition is excellent and uses the tried and true rule of thirds, as the tree area leaves about a third of the area to the left as negative space. The panorama is stunning.

High contrast? That's a questionable subject when it comes to color photography. In my opinion, true high contrast has to be opposing colors (ie: blue and yellow, green and red) on the color wheel as the prominent features of the image. This is not to say that there can't be slight variations, but since the majority of this shot is all warm tones, it lacks that kind of polarity, although the levels of color are still a stand out. I hope you find this commentary helpful. You certainly have a talent for beautiful shots and I look forward to seeing many more in the future.

All the best, Judy

This to me has 'judgement day' written all over it. There is a really dark looming feel tothe cloud cover, particularly picked out in that colour. The exposure seems spot on too. Superb! 9.

Great sunset or rise. I love the clouds consuming 2/3 of the photo, it gives a great feel to the image.
