Hey there from the Critique Club

My thoughts on the image:I can almost feel the crisp, cool air the second this image loads. Your composition works very well to draw me into and around the entire image. I really like the subject matter, and I like the overall depth of the photo.

My ideas for improvement: First off, I think you could have really made this one pop by upping the contrast with some slight levels adjustments in post-processing. The muted tones are nice, but I think some contrast would help add even more depth to the image. I also feel like the 'negative space' in the image is a little too busy. You were up against some really good entries in this challenge.

Where I would have/did score this entry:I did not vote in this challenge, as I am just now getting back into this site, but, after looking thorough the challenge, this would have probably been a 5 or a 6 from me. I believe that it scored appropriately considering the other entries in this challenge. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

A white winter? Am not much in favor of partial de-saturation but I like the little trees

The bottom being in color but not having much color in it is cool, gives a great sense of magnitude. It looks like the top is 100% BW, and the bottom is full color... I might try desaturating the bottom just a touch... this is in danger of feeling like one image layered over another. . .

That moon looks amazing! Great job exposing the front of the mountain and the sky so they both came out!

Beautiful! I love it.

I would be curious if it would look better with less of a blue cast on the backside of the mountain and if the brush in the foreground on the right wasn't there. A very nice scene.

I thought this was in the spirit of the painting. I gave you a 7.

"Ok" photo. Subject material is a bit bland IMO. Maybe if there was some mysterious object in the corner? Don't know. The thing for me is I don't see the 'abstract' connection here. Sorry, just one guys opinion. Good luck.
