Greeting from the Critique Clubâ€Â¦

Brrrr I have been there out in the cold capturing “the shot”. I think it is well worth it. The coloring created by the timing is really great. The coloring is really what grabs my eye, when I look at the photo.


Sometimes it is hard to understand what would help a photo score better. One thing I can think of that might have helped would be cropping more off the bottom, placing the driftwood on a third of the frame.


I also wonder if since it is not specifically a tree voters gave you a harder time with the score. I personally like things that are a little more out of the box then the typical shot you would expect but then again usually the top 10 photos are those images you would first think of when you here the challenge subject. But if it is a photo you like, then in my opinion that’s all that matters.

I think it’s a very nice shot. I look forward to more entries in the future.

Good concept, a little dark for mine.

Beautiful sunset contrasts in temperature with the cold landscape and deadness of the tree. A little blurry and could use sharpening on details of the driftwood.

I suppose this is a tree - or a part thereof!

HDR done well, and gorgeous colour! I find the subject matter a bit boring though. Your selection around the tree is a bit sloppy - I can see a green halo on the high- contrast bits.

Gorgeous sunset, but I wish there was more light on the subject/foreground.
