Seclusion with Nature

Comment by glad2badad:
This is a beautiful shot, however, what is extremely emotive about it? Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand. I'll have to come back after the challenge is over to see if there's any enlightening details. :)

The photo is nicely put together. Well focused and overall composed with the main subject positioned in an engaging manner. You wouldn't have lost anything to crop this some off the top to lose the washed out sky. Actually I think it would improve the photo by eliminating that bright distraction. JMO of course. :)

Good luck in the challenge.

Love the water but the foliage seems oof. Might be more dramatic if cropped to only have the motion of the water.

I covered up a good part of the blown out sky and this seemed to make your shot pop a lot more. Still leaves a good bit of negative space.

Would have been more compelling with less of the trees. Nice.

A very calming image but I don't find this personally an extreme emotion. I like the color in the photo from what appears to be a foggy day. a nice Dof field also helps with the seclusion you were trying to exude.

Nice image, love the tones and detail. This person is more surefooted than me. Helps to have the correct shoes on, though! Beautiful river.
