Cool Riverby
timfythetooComment by Kavey: Initial thoughts
Honestly? Not to keen on the strange effects of the processing.
Composition/ Content
Content is interesting – a simple combination of natural landscape scene and two man-made structures.
Compositionally, I like how the river sweeps around to the bridge and is echoed by the curve of the bridge arch itself. There is also a strong diagonal formed by the main line of clouds and then down into trees of the right bank of the river.
Digital Processing - Technical
It̢۪s totally down to personal taste, I know. For me, the processing ruins the image. I don̢۪t like the effect of desaturation on the foliage nor the artificial look of the water surface. The clouds and sky seem to suffer the most from the processing and no longer look natural.
Any negatives?
The processing is the main one for me. Additionally, I̢۪m not sure the content of the image is strong enough to make the image stand out.
Fits The Challenge
The last thing I feel when I look at this is the peace and harmony of zen. Instead I feel discordant and out of sorts, like the natural order of things has been thrown away.
Hope this isn̢۪t too disheartening a comment? I figured an honest reaction was more valuable than a vanity comment!
