I wasn't familiar wit the photographer at first so I googled him and am impressed with your tribute. It is very fitting to some of his photo I saw.

technical side I think your biggest problem here was your highlights. They seem to be blown out in a few spots. other then that I think you did a good job in the duo tone usage here. Your shadows could be lightened a bit on the tree to the right as well.

A different day where there are clouds or something in the sky to add more, that is one of the few things lacking interest here.I think it would help define some of the branch's that seem to fade into the sky now.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Oh, wouldn't you know it! I've received an image from a new recruit to the Critique Club to evaluate. Well, don't let the results of this critique dissuade you from joining...

Okay, I'm with GertaGrice on this one. I looked hard at this nicely exposed, pleasant image for a focal point. The bird, the temple, the condo, the beach. All are interesting, none are really strong. (I don't care about the debris on the beach; it's a beach, what do people want, have it raked?)

Anyhow, that temple is intriguing. I'd love to see more of it. Can you see the beach and ocean from it? The Condos have interesting shadows right now from the direction of the light. Could they be incorporated into a pleasing composition?

Okay, you get the idea. You scored well on the beautiful scene you presented. You might score really high by selecting a focal point within this scene and emphasizing it.

I wish you continued success in your DPC experience.

Alice.

If it is really you, then you are on the left. Too much noise.
