Title: Reflection
Post by: Richard Pearlman on March 01, 2014, 09:29:56 pm

Comments and critiques are appreciated. I'm a little concerned with the horizon. Does there appear to be a halo?

Great colours, great light, great composition and no halo 9as far as I can see). How about the "smudge" of something floating in the near foreground? I know it's not, but it seems like a fingerprint on a slide and it is perhaps something that should be eliminated. Some may argue that the foreground on the left doesn't add to the overall impact. The colours reflected in the water are foreground enough, perhaps.

Thank you for your critique. I removed the thing in the foreground. Concerning the gravel in the left foreground, I wish it wasn't there, but my goal was to maximize the reflection and that was a compromise I had to make.

Great colours and I like how the clouds and colours draw the eye into the image.
As for the gravel bar in the left foreground, I would darken it down so that it has the same visual weight as the right front corner.

Nice image - no halo issues that I could see.

Great colours, no halo.
