[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 58058, member: 1573"] TOTAL SCORE 9/12 -1 Center of Interest -1 Composition -1 Color Balance Rick, this is really pretty stunning, which is why you lost no points in "impact". The detail is fantastic and the fact that you keep revisiting this place tells me that you are looking to capture something special, that you haven't gotten, yet. Although I like the blue of the water, it's too much of a contrast to the rest of the picture. It almost seems like 2 different pictures in one. Add to that, the blue and the warm light meet almost in the center of the photo, almost bisecting it, which is why -1 in composition. Also, I think there is just too much in the picture (center of interest) My eye is drawn to the little bit of light in the upper right-hand corner. It seems to add a little bit of balance to that side of the photo. The reason I did not deduct for "storytelling" is that you have gone back to this place several times, so you see some kind of message or "story", even if it's a story of how water carves a ravine. You can stack ND filters along with a polarizer to get the effect you want. For this photo, for the next time, I would offer these two suggestions: 1. try to get a little more interesting light on the falls . . .you have two different elements, water and land. The light should somehow connect/blend the two. The filters and HDR will help in highlight control, which really doesn't seem to be a problem here. 2. Really examine the area from all angles of shooting and experiment with composition. also, think about what exactly is the vision . . . the power of the water? Maybe a closer shot with more mist rising from the water (so the ND filters will help you capture that.) What appeals to me the most is the right third of the photo in a portrait format. If you were to shoot from ground level (in front of the rock), in HDR, with ND filters, the big rock in front would lead the eye to the misty falls and up to the little bit of light at the top. This would give your photo dimension. Keep up your excellent work, Rick. You're going for an special look, which shows me you're beginning to develop a style. And I also agree that you have grown in your skills, in leaps and bounds, since you joined. I always look forward to your posts. Hope I made sense. I wish I had these kind of falls here . . . sigh.
