[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 58050, member: 1061"] TOTAL SCORE: 8/12 -1 Impact -1 Composition -1 Center of Interest -1 Story Telling For me at least, just about any photo that isn't conceptual and doesn't include people is going to automatically lose 2 points for Impact and Story Telling. That's not to take anything away from your photo, Rick (or anyone else's for that matter), it's just my interpretation of the 12 points. I deducted for Center of Interest because there is a lot going on here, and my eye isn't "drawn in" to any one point and has difficulty navigating the scene. I deducted for Composition because in keeping with what I just said, I do not see or feel depth here. I'm not pulled into the scene. Perhaps a different angle such as off to the side or down lower to the ground would help? Is this HDR? The colors are fantastically vibrant and the scene is full of detail. Be it the use of filters, software, or a combo of both, the results are very nice. The color control here is miles ahead of where you were when you first joined the site. I also admire your dedication to this spot, seeing something you want to capture here, and returning to it. Kudos for being the brave one and the first to post under the new rules. [/QUOTE]
