Magical Riverby
chozenfrozenComment by BMacD: Hi! Here’s a comment from the Critique Club.
First Impression:
Nice shot. My eyes were drawn to the bright green and then the white “light.” Back to the green, back to the white before I was able to see the rest of the detail. The white “light” really competes for attention.
Composition:
Really nice composition. I like the lines created by the northern lights, the far shore and the beach. Nice boat placement as well.
Subject:
Meets challenge
Technical:
Since this is an advanced editing challenge, I would have toned down the white light and it’s two reflections, (Boat and shore). Make it more identifiable as to what it is, without creating blown white areas. I think that change would really draw out the rest of the detail, the stars and colours.
You could have submitted a larger file. Your 128k, 600 X 400 file limits the view size and detail we see. Try to get to the 150k, 640 X size allowed
Summary:
Congratulations on your best score! Nice to see your scores improving.
Good luck in future challenges
