great colors. softness of the water is lovely. bit more detail in the highlights on the lighthouse would have been nice

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Aesthetic: Beautiful capture of clouds, but I dont know why something seems to be lacking in rest of the image. Maybe its a mix of "almost" silhoutte and regular picture which is confusing (to my mind atleast!)

Technical: Again - good focus on clouds, but somehow rest the image looks a little out of focus. Did you used too much of neat image? Seems like some of the fine details are blurred the way neatimage does when used with high luminance. At tips of branches, the details seem to be fuzzy.

Challenge: For sure this fits the challenge but following the rule of thirds "might" have added more punch.

Conclusion:Certainly an above average composition but like few other comments, details on ground are lost somewhere. The overall score seem to be fair for the submission.

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!

nice effect of the water splashes on the rocks in the distance and the milkyness in the foreground. while still keeping everything else crisp and clean - good job
