| Orvar, as always it is a pleasure to see your photography. I remember this place, and I definitely remember how beautiful it is. I think you did a great job capturing its beauty, especially with the sunset. Congratulations buddy! I continue to enjoy your work and look forward to the next time I can visit!!! |

Critique Club Critique
First Impressions
Ah good, an easy critique for me - you know I liked this. I gave this an 8. Beautiful scene, beautiful colors and nicely captured elements.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Composition wise - the biggest issue I had with this image is the solitary rock in the middle at the bottom of the frame. I liked that it gave more context and think that it cropped out might leave the image unbalanced... but not sure. It may also allow that interesting underwater detail to come into play more too, which would be a very good thing.
For an aperture of f7.1 there is an amazing amount of detail in the image, but I can't help but wonder about an increase in the aperture to allow even more detail, especially in the fore rocks, water and also the 'greenery'.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
Average of 8.33 from your commenters speaks for itself, they were all taken with the image. Nothing in your comments gives you any 'critiquing' of the image itself, which makes it difficult if you are seeking that, which I guess you must be if you ticked the CC box. A few mention the location is familiar to them, I wouldn't be phased by that at all. The same scene has a myriad of images to be captured of it and each photographer has their own style. It also creates a challenge for you to capture the scene in your own way, and uniquely, each time you visit it.
I just read your Photographer's Comments and glad to see what I just said was spot on to your outlook for this. Good stuff.
As for your score, 13/419 is excellent placing in a Free Study, however I'm somewhat surprised to see your score of 6.69. You got 160 votes, which is around 10 more than the average I've seen so far, which I guess is indicative of the power of the thumbnail view.
Summary
With the image/scene captured as is, I think more detail and a slight crop refinement, and possibly a fraction more light on the land, may produce an even stronger image. |

| Interesting - I just saw this at a very different time of day. Love the reflection and clarity in the water on this one. |
