Twilight over Alafia River

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Nature Photography Image Critique : One Thread

I don't take many landscapes, and most of what I do take are usually unplanned, when a scenic strikes me, in the course of my non-specific nature photography outings. This photo was one of the few that I did some pre-planning, knowing where and when the sun would rise. I could not have planned the clear sky and still water, but serendipity happens. Nikon f90x, Sigma 24-70 at 24, Velvia.

I like the Blue sky, the black mirrored trees and that perfectly calm water.

I would maybe change the foreground, but that is a nit pick. Well done.

I like the dark/black in the trees and foliage. Could you have gotten around the bush in the right foreground? That's all I would change. Nice shot.

Oh!... For a moment I thought that my screen had suddenly upgraded itself to a 3-d device... But no, it's that your picture has a 3-d quality. Depth, space and dynamics. It's perhaps the blue-black contrast, and also the dynamic "layout" of the clouds. The bush in foreground adds some "spice" and touch of reality - it makes your picture even more perfect. I would not change ANYTHING here. Looking forward to seeing your next picture.

Very Nice! But I also vote for a cleaner foreground. This one would have been worth getting wet for.

simply nice. Beautiful blue reflection curving off to meet the sky. I like it.
