Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the free study challenge

I knew it was yours Janine before I even saw your name! As you know, I like these motion abstracts, many of your included. I love the subtle shades and the blend into more uniform and lighter base, it all feels very vibrant. Unfortunately this is not always going to work for the masses! I am disappointed for you that the score was so low and the lack of comments but perhaps it was just too abstract for them to appreciate? You'll always have one who appreciates them here Janine, thanks for your entry.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Gorgeous b/w tones here, lovely scene, very picturesque. I love that you shot so fast and yet the sky has that blurry long-exposure look! The only thing I'm not crazy about is the lack of a truly dominant element. The sky and mountains are competing with the forest and the open expanse of the foreground. Almost a true 50/50 split. I find the trees form a visual barrier between the mountains and foreground.

Hope this helps

Susan

Hello from the Critique club

An excellent image that meets the challenge well

Its a funny old challenge this, I don't know how the voters decide what is the broken rule and how they react to it, positive or negatively in their scoring. Anyway, you have a great landscape that has been enhanced by the broken rule in such a way that it is perfectly believable, we've all seen this sort of sky at some time. I like your mono processing there is a wide range of tones. I think it should have scored better than this but this is obviously due to the nature of the challenge itself.

Thank you for your entry.
