[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 31898, member: 1061"] [B]Composition:[/B] I'm just not "feeling it". I don't understand what you are trying to say with this photo, nor do I see what made you press the shutter button. Personally, I don't see any [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_%28visual_arts%29#Elements_of_design"]elements of good composition[/URL] here. This is a landscape shot taken in portrait orientation that disobeys the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds"]Rule of Thirds[/URL]. Breaking the rules isn't necessarily a bad thing...when it accomplishes the artists' vision...but here it just looks out of place. [B]Color:[/B] As-is, this photo is kind of flat and lifeless. I agree that HDR would've given this photo more "pop", simply because that's what HDR does. However, a single image HDR isn't going to help. People tend to forget what HDR stands for and why it's used in the first place. Single image HDR isn't really much of a dynamic range, it's just tonemapping. Because you have very little tonal range here, the effort would be wasted. [/QUOTE]
