Critique Club Review:
Really pretty photo. Lighting, color, contrast, brightness, hue and saturation are done very well.
The blues in this piece are fantastic, and I really like the layering of th hills in the background.
For my taste teh tre is a little centered. But what comes even more to mind as I spend time with this picture is that the tree, wich is almost silhouetted, is not strong enough to hold the picture.
I find my gaze keeps going through the tree to the background.
A shallower depth of field might help. What I really keep thinking is I wish the tree were not in the way, so I could see more of the rest of the picture.
Still a very nice picture and a well deserved top 40 finish. |

| Hmmm... I think I would have panned a bit more to the left for this. The rocks being directly behind the tree, seem to distract. I do like the layering in the bg mountains though. Nice work. |

| Gorgeous scenery. Wish the tree wasn't quite so centered. |

this shot could be much better if the tree was dead center and covering the nice background.
I just realized I made a mistake. It should have said, "wasn't dead center". Sorry about that.

| my first thought re: the dark grass is that it looks burned. it doesn't fit with the rest of the photo, which is really good. |

| The colors are so rich and beautiful, I want to like it more, but there's something about the composition that is bothering me. I think it is the dark band in the middle. Well-matched to the challenge theme. 6 |

| Incredible light, creates nice golden tones in the grass. The composition gets a little busy with the tree placed directly in front of the rock formations. |

| The sort of image I think I have seen before a few times - but slightly different.The bright foreground does help to emphasize the blues in the background. I like the overall effect. 8. |
