memoComment by Natasha: COMPOSITION-CONTENT
I loved the simple composition and content of this, the picture has instant impact. There is no clear focal point of the picture, but the eyes are drawn to the horizon and its lovely that there are no man made objects in the whole picture. I think cropping off the bottom couple of cms might hav been good, to get rid of the darker clouds at the bottom and would bring the more interesting clouds closer to the viewer. Colour is beautiful, the simplicity of the colours and softness of them are beautiful.
BACKGROUND
DOF is great here, and the horizon is nicely in focus. Basically the background is the photo here and the background is gorgeous!
DIGITAL PROCESSING-TECHNICAL
No problems here, could have been possible to add a bit more contrast to bring out the blues of the sky a little more, would have also have to decrease the light though to stop the whites from being blown out. However, I think it is great as it is!
CAMERA WORK-TECHNICAL
The whites in the picture are lovely and clean, they probably couldnt take much more contrast as they would get blown out.
MY OPINION
I really liked this picture, it has the WOW factor! Lovely crisp, clean colours and the simplicity of it is great. Think it would have benefitted from having the bottom darker clouds cropped, to lead the eye more smoothly into the distance. It doesnt relate strongly to the photojournalism theme and so probably lost a few points because of that and not because of the picture itself, I think people were expecting shots with more human impact in them! However, its a great picture and Good Luck with the Blue challenge! Hope that this helps!
