Overview to the Underworldby
banmornComment by Harz_Joerg: Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
Great point of view, right on the topic. Took me quiet some time to get what it is though.
Content/Composition
This is of course a very special point of view you have form your apartment! The view to the trees from far above is already very special by itself, but the grave stones just top it. Very good choice.
However, the image is a little confusing: it takes some time to get what one is looking at: first there is the network of the tree branches and then one sees some rectangular bright "thinks". Only at the very top one can see that there are actually grave stones. Then, after reading the title the image becomes of course clear.
A more clear, easier to get portion (maybe just the top) and a tighter crop or more zoomed in would have been better.
As mentioned by others, the image appears to be a little bright/low contrasted. Darkening it would probably improved it a bit.
You mentioned that the trees should resemble their roots under the grave yard. While I do see the intention, it didn't work well for me: even if I try to imagine this, my brain switches back to the inverse, real scene. Doesn't matter much though.
Camera work - Technically
Focus seems fine although the image is a little fuzzy due to the many branches, but this is not important. Exposure see above.
Digital Processing - Technical
You did a good job on sharpening: not too much, just right.
A border might have been nice.
Fits the challenge
Of course, very good!
Good luck for your upcoming submissions
