Critique Club Review
Greetings.
It is very difficult to say anything critical about this shot.
About the only thing I *might* have done different was put in a little less of that land in the foreground. Maybe done away with it all together, or if possible moved up to the its edge. This might have moved your horizon to the lower third, which is a good place for horizons :)
You've done a great job with composition .. the mountain, the sunset, the additional mountains. the sky, the clouds. you waited till the right time of day to get this shot.
congrats on a well deserved ribbon! |

| Congratulations on your win! It's a gorgeous landscape! What a coincidence that it featured reflections on ice and water :-) I'm curious as to where this was taken. Mine was shot in Valdez. Alaska is definitely landscape heaven so we probably had an unfair advantage...but what the heck...when the theme rolls around to cityscape we'll be flat out of luck :-) |

| Congrats on 3rd, that green flare didn't really matter after all :-) |

Wow, my first ribbon! :)
This image was taken just before sunset, which where I live, is around 4:00 pm right now. There was a thin layer of ice covering most of the tide pool, but not the edge, which is why that is the only place with a mirror like reflection. I sort of wish it was all liquid water... a large area of reflected sky would have looked awesome I think.
Yes, the green flare bugs me too... I could have painted it out, but that would have been cheating ;) I do have this one all ready to be printed out, I'm just waiting until I have a few more images to print before I send it off.
Thanks again, I have a big smile on my face :) |

| I would love to have this hanging over my couch. The colors match it beautifully. I especially like the reflection of the sun in the lake. The colors are awesome and I love the way you cropped it. It's a great one well deserving of a 9. |

| Lovely image. The composition is excellent. I wish you had taken the picture right before the sun had moved over the mountains in the background, cause then there wouldn't be this huge glare on the water. It is rather distracting. 8 - Annida |

| I really like it, the only thing that got me wondering is the line bethween the land and the water, it looks fake, the clouds reflection doesn't look natural.(9) |

You are a lucky guy/girl to have been at that place at that particular moment. And we are lucky that you share this moment with us. As a cloud-, mountain-, sea- and shot-against-the-sun lover this picture has it all (the sun might be a little too bright though). Colors are great and natural, it's sharp and well composed.
One of the very best submissions in this challenge. Good luck to you. |

| Incredible sky texture and I like that the sun isn't just reflecting off of the water, but off of the sand as well. Wonderful clarity. Great job! |

| Wow, take my breath away! That is just a spectacular the only thing I can see as an improvement is to try to get rid of the flare. I love haw the photo was framed and the reflaction off the ice/water.8. |

| excellent composition. love the clouds creating their own plane in the sky. the sun looks like a six pointed star, don't know if you used a filter but i like it. the frame adds to this image. |

| This would have been very strong without the foreground rocks. They simply don't add to the photo.... |

01/13/2003 05:46:29 PM |
| Very nice! The clouds/sky is spectacular!! Weird thing is, notice the mirror like reflection in the water at the shore. Almost like it was glass there. You get a 9. :) |
