I'd actually like to see somebody in this shot. I'm noticing this with my own photos - I don't use enough people in my non-people shots. Even a distant silhouette in a landscape can give it so much more meaning and interest. I'd like to see someone outside the DOF, walking along the path.
I'm not sure about the bird. It kind of seems a little distracting.

I like it personally. It reminds me of a place near where I grew up on the shoreline of a windy lonely beach. It looks like there are lots of different paths past the bushes we see but I would have liked the far bushes to be in focus and the blue sky a little more blue, it looks almost greyish as it is.
Nice pic though man. |

| This photo feels off-balance to me. |

I agree w/ Melanie on her comments. The other thing I'd add is the postioning of the horizon line in mid-piture is very static and tends to leave the viewer saying "is this aout the sky or the land, sky or land??" I'd crop either up or down to have 1/3 sky and 2/3 ground for example.

| This shot isn't as exciting for me. The composition just doesn't draw me in as much. I like the line of the path, but something about the sky taking up that top half, and the bird sitting in an odd spot just makes this one feel more awkward. The colors aren't as vibrant as the other shot you posted either. Even a simple adjustment like duplicating the background layer and setting the mode to 'soft light', then adjusting the opacity to something you're happy with might help this one pop more. Hope that's helpful. |
