Greetings from the Critique Club!

I can see your commenters love the lupines, and so do I. In fact, this pic is all about the lupines, that's where all the love is with a deep dof and fantastic colour tones and I suspect where most of the NIK was done! If anything the top third - which is frankly just a big distracting chunk of blah that does nothing at all for the overall pic. (By chunk of blah, I mean a whole whack of distracting elements that just sit there and do nothing for the image but draw the eye.The church is cute, but the hazy summer sky and bleachy clouds just don't do it for me. Crop em out and bang, you have the start of a wonderful, strong image with the way the lupines flow together. The elements are all there in the fg. Never be afraid to crop!

Hope this helps

Susan

Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge well

I like the abstract nature of this water in motion, you have a nice diagonal that gives the image a more dynamic feel. I also like the tones you have ranging from the near white of the crest to the darker right though I wish there was a little more of that to balance it up a bit more. All in all really quite appealing, thanks Janine.

What an abundance of attractive flowers. Therein lies part of the problem for me, there is just so much of it throughout the frame I am finding it a little difficult to concentrate on the main subject. I think there were two possibilities here, one to isolate the foreground and softer focus flowers against a plainer background or to isolate the front flowers alone against the distant soft focus repetitive background, for me either of these would have been more effective. However, its still a lovely entry Janine, thanks.
