Nice effort. Too dark overall. You have some great stuff in your portfolio.

Dear photographer,

We all suck, and you less than some. I like the dark dark blacks in contrast with the whites. I don't like the tracks going through the little village of cabins.

love the title! But you really don't suck :)

i'll give you a 10 for the title, 5 for the image.

I like the composition, but to me, the clouds on the right have a bit of grain and the buildings seem to be too dark.

Maybe not the best title. The shadow areas have not detail, but I would not say it sucks.

Interesting composition. You've lost your low zones though (too dark)...

This doesn't suck! It was a great idea, but this seems a bit dark to me, thats all. The scene itself is very nice. I'd go back and try it again, watch for over exposure in the clouds/sky.

This photo is good, the title is not! 7

This is an interesting image. I like the depth created by the cabins in front of that majestic tree. Nice range of tone in clouds and snow. Good job emulating the technique of AA, he was his own as each photo is. Good luck...

Nothing sucks about this photo, I really like it. Your scoring would be higher without that title, but I bet your comments are certainly more. :)

The image is alright but the title is stuid (sorry, it just is).
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The photo is pretty good, but I don't think Ansel had the low self esteem thing. ;-) Recommendation: Let the voters decide if you suck. ;-)

Oh I love your title...that alone is worth a 7. Your picture is nice aswell.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2005 09:12:20 PM
Somewhat of a defeatist title, no?!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2005 07:51:56 AM
a bit too much contrast, lost details.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2005 02:25:14 AM
not so sure on your title....this is a decent photo, but your lighting here is absent
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2005 09:05:31 PM
IMO.: you would need More tonal range in the shadows of log buildings
the tree has been cut off .. which makes it look poorly framed
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2005 01:52:27 PM
The only thing that sucks about your photo is the title. Have some confidence! 8

needs better mid tones to bring out the logs better
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2005 06:28:50 AM
Love the sky and the buildings..and the tree.. and the snow 10

Captures the Ansel Adams style perfectly!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2005 04:25:19 AM
This does not suck!!!!
I can take the apology to Ansel Adams, but please don' t don't put negative thoughts into voters' minds. You do yourself a disservice.

Your title sure sucks. Show a little confidence. Your image is far from being bad. I'm not sure about your composition and your post processing has left the darker areas too dark but you're zeroing in on an excellent shot. It's a good choice of subject and location and that's more than half the battle won.

He doesn't mind the attempt, indeed he's honored, but he DOES mind that the damned tree is smack dab in the middle... (grin)
