Greetings from the Critique Club

What a magnificant site for a photograph. I like the foreground fence as it leads the viewer into the panoramic view presented below. The image is a bit too dark to really understand details, but that's okay with me, because the darkness is explained by the clouds above. The white table acts as a much needed foil for the darkness, anyhow.

As a suggestion, the one thing that stands out here is the enormous amount of the frame devoted to those ominous clouds. When I recomposed this very nice image on my monitor, it seemed to glow when about 1/2 of those clouds were removed. Try it, and see if you like the result.

Anyhow, it certainly is a good rendition of Country Life, and while a bit dark overall, it's a great scene.

Good luck in your future DPC Challenges.

Alice

I think this photo is trying to be too many things and due to this each is removing the relevance of the other. The sky is nice and moody and almost over powers the amazing mountains, whilst the balcony just seems a little out of place. Wouldn't mind supping a cold beer here though!

Wonderful clouds and view of the valley, but too dark in the forefront.
