| This is a pleasant landscape. The walkway is a very interesting subject, as it winds through the interesting and nicely detailed wetlands. I think there are two problems for the viewer. One cannot see where to enter the walkway. And, while it provides good leading lines, the destination area falls off the right side, making the viewer wonder what's over there. Those things are not fatal flaws, but they are minor distractions. Your perspective leaves the viewer a bit disconnected from the walkway. Your DOF is deep and your focus is excellent. I also like the colors of the forest... very natural. The light is somewhat harsh with an acute angle to somewhat high sun. Because of this, there is some detail lost in the shadows. (The highlights are okay.) The edge of the forest represents the "horizon" in this image. You've placed that on the vertical middle. That creates a quandary for the viewer... making them switch back and forth between bg and foreground. As the artist, you should direct the viewer's eyes to what you want them to see. Almost always better to place a "horizon" on one of the thirds lines. Overall, a pleasant photo. Maybe this needs another element of interest, like a person with colorful clothes posing on the curve. |
