Critique Club critique.

Two things jumped out at me initially. The slightly over saturated colors and the black distracting border. The colors, particularily the blue channel, appear over saturated which takes away from the naturalness of it. This may have been intentional or a calibration problem on your monitor. The black border really commands attention which draws my attention away from the photo where it should be. The border should support the photo not compete with it. Maybe a thin dark inner border of green, blue or even black with a wider outer border in a lighter color of ocre, cream, or white would be appropriate. I like the wider cropping, it helps to convey the sense of a wide open space. I'm not sure about the perfectly centered horizon line, I think I would prefer to see it raised so as to show more of the foreground with the beautiful colors and features. If there were some really interesting cloud formations Than you could have focussed on that but as it is, with only a solid blue color, it isn't really necessary to show that much of it when you can, instead, show off more of the land which has the interesting details. The photo appears properly exposed with the right amount of sharpness and clarity. It looks like a beautiful area to photograph. Nice job.

The scene is very pretty, but colors look over-saturated. I'd prefer to see this photo in larger format.

Superb panaramic image. I think the frame might be a bit heavy though?

Excellent photograph of that scenic landscape. The unrelieved heavy black border does not help. Suggest first a narrow snowwhite borderline, then pick up the dark earthtone from the foothills as a wider border. JEM

This is beautiful.. my only problem is that it lacks vibrancy. I'm not sure if that's an issue or not.. or maybe the picture needs to be bigger to show how grandeur this place is... keep up the good work though, I give you a 9!! -Annida

Beautiful! Your border really enhances this, I think, although it's a bit dark. The snow on the mountains is really lovely.

Shame on you!!! You beat me! I haven't seen all of the photographs yet but this is the winner in my book. I sure hope you send us a link to the full-siize photo. Now, what do I like about it. First, the panorama, second the colors are beautifully saturated, third, the layer, the golden plain, rolling hills, snow capped mountains and finally incredible sky. The photo is excellent quality, beautifully sharp and expertly exposed, and then the composition. They say never to cut anything in half (I don't listen to what they say) but you have done exactly that It's brilliant. Congratulations!

unfortunate lack of definition due to image size. I found the same problem with my bridge pic. Nice sky. 7.
