The Roar of a Fast Flowing Riverby
CLarson557Comment by HBunch: *Critique Club*
While it's not the FIRST thing I think about when I see this, it does definately reflect noise. Even under little bridges, with little streams, the waves and ruslting bounces off the underside of the bridge, and the roaring of the cars above definately doesn't help for a peaceful environment.
Your focus and clarity seem to be good. We get nice detail in both the bridge and the waves in the water. I especially like the wet spot on the pillar where the waves have beaten on it. I think that enhances the movement of the water a bit.
The angle and framing/cropping are ok. I'm not really sure I like that dead stick coming out of the left side of the photo, but not really much you can do about that cause it's right in the middle of things.
While I think it's technically well done, I'm not really sure it appeals much to me. The muddy water, lack of much color, and dirty looking background, aren't really visually appealing to me.
The lighting kind of makes things look dulled. Even though the green is bright, it, and the bridge and water still look muted, like the conditions weren't exactly great for the shot. Maybe a different time of day could put some exciting lighting on this, and bump it up a notch on the appeal scale.
As I said though, overall I don't think you made any huge technical errors.
