"Wind on the Water"

Comment:
I would say this is slightly over-exposed: deepening those shadows on the hills would have added some drama to a quite ordinary shot. why did you not crop out the pylons? Or if you wanted them, frame tham more into shot? Seems like an ovver-sight. So little actual area of the shot is the wind patterns on the water that it's difficult to see exactly what it is you find interesting about it: wouldn't have known your point at all without the title.

fabulous effect, but the composition distacts me. Would ove to see this cropped more closely to the lightning clouds - wouldn't lose those city-lit clouds (which are also interesting) completely. Way better than the other lightning shot (so far) though. The burnt out city lights are a shame too,

Great capture, and so difficult to get lightning, but there are so many problems with the photo - darkness, the lightning is such a small area, focus, that I can't rate it very highly.

Whilst there is a vague line in the clouds that IS horizontal, I don't think it's efeective enough to require the horizon to be tilted - and also, it's tilted so little it seems like a mistake. Like the light in the clouds, but you seem to have cropped that out just as it's getting really interesting. It's an OK shot, but looks rushed to me.

The water drops that you've proritised with the composition are the ones that are out of focus - which detracts for me a lot. Also, the b&w ... why? Don't see a reason, and tonally all the greys seem the same.

Focus isn't quite there, and for me a contrat colour would help to emphasise the blue - this feels a little washed out almost - oughtn't there tp be green here too?

Isn't it backwards? It's very difficult for many of us to vote clearly on such an emotive image, especially with that title. I think you've chosen an odd stillness of flag though - kind of half a ripple.

Bet you wish weather had been last week! Nice shot - compositionally, a pity the rainbow has flared out a little - I think you could have darkened the whole thing, but many won't agree with me. Small image too - though it still works.

all those artefacts are such a shame - given that that is presumably a camera thing, I think this is probably a very good shot. I'm afraid it'll never do well here because of those though.

Like the tearing rather than the ripping of the paper.
