*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A pleasing landscape that is assumed to meet the challenge
A lovely location that has been enhanced by your thoughtful inclusion of your wife in the scene. Her inclusion gives us a good strong focal point and also gives us a sense of scale of the grandeur of the location. I like the skies a lot.
Your composition and exposure are generally good, the reflections are a welcome addition. Technically your settings are good, nice low ISO and I assume a good tripod for support. You have achieved a huge DOF through your choice of a small aperture though if this actually the smallest aperture I would generally avoid it in the interests of best image quality.
Like your commenter I am not keen on HDR treatment, the colours are a little too saturated for me, I prefer more subtlety and a more natural looking result though having said that your image is a lot better than many I have seen using this technique.
Thanks for your submission, Sid |
