[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 171899, member: 1573"] All in all I would classify this as a "nice" photo. I'm not sure what your artistic intent was. The post processing needs a little more punch, imho. But there seems to be too much in the photo, so compositionally, it's bothersome. First of all, the horizon almost bisects the photo. Also, the sun seems to be the center of interest, not the log, if that was your intent. If your intent was how BIG the log is, then your angle of shooting should have reflected that . . . shoot from the ground and up so that the log does look big. it seems like you wanted to get too much into the picture. It would have been much more dramatic, with a lot more impact, if you were flat on the ground at one end of the log (3/4 view toward the lake) and even have the sun blocked by part of the log . . . the hdr would have taken care of the shadows) Just my two cents' worth.
