[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 49313, member: 1573"] First of all, welcome to the forum. I don't remember doing that. Your composition is excellent. I love how the line and curves lead into each other. I would, however, straighten "the horizon" --it seems to be sloping a little to the right. (look at the one tree in the upper right corner.) I'm always amused when photographers "brag" that they used little or no processing. If you shot this as a jpeg, with any kind of automatic settings (e.g. WB, contrast, etc.) then your camera "processed it". Just the fact that you are using a digital camera means that "processing is always taking place" in the camera's "brain". Most photographers will shoot RAW and take control of as much of the processing as possible. So, IMHO, your photo could benefit from some minor tweaking. Good choice to use a ND filter. But it could use a little more punch in terms of contrast and vibrance. Good or bad and I really don't care, I'm a big fan of HDR, especially for bringing out the details. This is one I would have shot for HDR to bring out the texture and details, of which you have a nice mix --the rocks, grass and leaves would contrast nicely against the soft water. But that's me. All in all, a nice photo. In the future, please post exif data. [/QUOTE]
