Wish Resolution requirements weren't so low... probably beautiful just one or two more MPS in density. I love the way the road and the horizon and the branches and the shadows all gnarl to form a mutual spiral. Very good picture, and I love the perspective it gives with black and white.

Good photo... makes me look twice to see what it is. Good Angle.

Greetings from the Critique Club

One of the fun things about this critique Club job is the opportunity to wander through portfolios that I might miss otherwise. Your architecture section is fascinating. Really a delight.

Okay, back to work. You've presented a half & half image, indeed. It meets the challenge, but didn't score very well. Sometimes, with images divided essentially in half, the viewer just doesn't know where to look to find the point of interest, gives up and moves on. Perhaps this is what happened here. There are nice textures in the red - although they need time to be studied - and the rocks also have some interest.

My suggestion, since your portfolio also tells me you like earth tones, is to think about introducing a third color, such as yellow ochre into the composition. This might give it some zing and keep the viewer in the picture long enough to enjoy it.

I wish you much success in your adventures here at DPChallenge.

Alice

This picture is very chaotic for me. It also seems to be out of focus.

I don't think that the color treatment of this shot works, as it makes the shape detail hard to discern.

Really not a big fan of the sepia toning on this shot. I wish I could see the original
