I love this shot. The solitude of this tree in a place a tree doesn't really belong expresses a story one wants to read. I find myself asking what happened in the flood.

I love this image very much, but I have a real love of pelicans myself.

Single Drop in a Drought Ridden Country

Comment by mngolfer:
I agree, it seems a little to centered and appears out of focus. Maybe have something in the background that would reflect in the water.

I really like this picture. I agree though, if you got a lower vantage point, it would really help. I would take this one over and over with a variety of weather. Love it.

Tinted Glass

Comment by mngolfer:
A little more light on this would be good and not have it reflect in the glass. I like the blue, just wish it was a little lighter overall.

A little too much shadow on the face. A little to dark overall.

I like this picture. It seems a little blown out in parts, but overall great capture.

nice colours, but hold no interest to me

Holy Shot V1

Comment by PurpleFire:
What do I like about this?

Well:
* The sky's colour is really punchy, and set the tower off nicely
* Good contrast and detail in the stone work
* Upward shot of the tower adds drama and perspective to the shot

Not so hot on:
* The shot needs to be rotated in you post-prod software. All software has a crop tool that you can us to rotate, most have a straighten tool. If you straiten the upper-most ledge, the whole shot will be balanced and I won't feel drunk.

* There are two MASSIVE splodges of sensor dust or lens muck in the shot. Again all software has some sort of clone tool. Use it, it will cover a multitude of sins. Just remember to use a large (as you can!) soft brush to do it.

I love contrasty images, and this is a classic composition for a church tower.

Tips for next time:
* Get lower and shoot wider - not sure what focal length you used, but more door would give this a more imposing feel. Get you knees dirty and get down!

* Get your self a polarizer and you'll get deep colours is both the sky and stone (looks like you did this already, but this is the number one for me!)

* Straighten up as best you can in frame. That will mean you crop less in post and can get a bigger print from it.

Overall nice shot, just needs one or two tweaks in software.
