Silent Waters

First impression: The colors are not right. The water is to blue. Most of the frame is filled with the sky but the title is about the water.
Things that would improve the score: Rethink the composition and the pov. I'm thinking that a lower pov would make the pier more dominant in the picture. Maybe a more subtle color enhancement in post processing. What really throws me off is the difference in the color cast of the pier and the water. If the sky and water was that blue, the pier would also carry a blue tint. It looks greenish to me. I think that's why the water looks to blue.

The colors are dynamic and the smoke was captured with the right type of light. The sticks look as if there is movement so they don't look sharp. It looks as if a large radius usm was used to try to make up for the movement. I'm not saying this is the actual case, just what it looks like to me.
To get a higher score, arrange the sticks in an orderly pattern and use a tripod to get them tack sharp. The smoke movement is good as is the background and lighting.

Listen to the wind

first impression: Serene. I like the pp and the dark corners.
Technicals: Good exposure and converted to bring out most of the texture.
Additional thoughts: I see how the clouds could be considered a major element to visualizing wind, but I also like this cropped to just above the tree line. The power of the picture is the imagined rustle sound made by the grass. Cropping makes the picture more intimate and forces the viewer to listen even more carefully to that imagined sound.

I just saw this picture in my local newspaper. Thought it looked like something from here. Is it on shutterstock? I left that section of the paper on the bus. Do you want a tear sheet? Let me know & I'll go buy another paper.

Joey. You have thought of something new and you. Not the dragan copy, not the acid copy and not the grunge copy. Something unique to you. I really have enjoyed these double pictures you are doing. Hope to see you expanding your own personal style.
I especially like the shift in this one.
