Greetings from the Critique Club

Boy there̢۪s not much I can say about this image that Dahkota didn̢۪t already say. Her suggestions are exactly what I would recommend save adding another tree. I think the birch in the foreground on the right and the lack of a corresponding (Oak? I think) on the opposite side is what really draws your eye into the image.

I would have scored this image a 10. Your title is dead on for the challenge especially with the contrast with changing colors in the leaves. I feel a mood from this photograph of hurry up and get outside while we can still enjoy it.

I hope this information is helpful in some small way. Best regards, Michele

Living in the Southwest

Greetings from the Critique Club

I have shot cityscapes that I would love to post for challenges but once I̢۪ve reduced them they just look too busy but the full size image is quite stunning so it̢۪s rather a challenge to comment on images only seeing a reduced version. I̢۪m going to guess that the full size version of this image is spectacular, however, the reduced 640 does not do it justice.

The image appears flat and the buildings appear too small giving them a sort of toy city look - it appears as if the image has been over sharpened giving it that flat look and boosting the overall saturation. The houses at the base of the mountain range are barely discernable and almost appear to be noise.

The colors in the cityscape are fantastic and really give you a flavor of the Southwest. You maintained a lot of detail in the mountain range and in the city. I think a lower vantage point might have worked better for this image, the cityscape with the mountains as a back drop – perhaps simply showing the colorful buildings against the mountain range without the dead space in the center even though it would eliminate some of the architecture would have worked better – there is a parking garage at the lower right of the frame that may work well from the roof top (the sometimes less is more theory).

I hope this information is helpful in some small way. BTW your portfolio is fantastic love the jaquar entry for the affluance challenge.

Best regards, Michele

what a great story this photograph tells and even more so after I read your comments. such a faraway look on his face. nice job editing too, so subtle but adds so much.

Drinking from the Kitty Glass

this is too cute - my cats will NOT drink out of a water dish that I set on the floor - they will however drink out of ANY glass filled with anything set down anywhere! I don't know why I didn't think to take a picture of it til I saw yours :)
