Love the subject, perspective and everything about the processing except the texture you applied. To bad, this would have been one of my top photos.

Soft and beautiful. I like how there is no definitive horizon but it is easily felt.

Hello from the Critique club

An interesting image that subtly meets the challenge.

Although this is a pleasing composition my first impression was that it did not meet the challenge but on further inspection I can see that there is a vague mistiness against the trees so it would appear to meet the challenge but not in an obvious way. The image reflects the dull sort of day that is often experienced where the uniform light lacks modelling and does not create a huge impact. I do like that you have used mono conversion with a good range of tones to bring out the detail in the clouds and emphasise the sombre mood. I tend to disagree with the comment about contrast I think you've got the balance about right you would start to lose important detail with any more contrast.

A respectable score and result, well done Janine

Beautiful abstract and gives the impression of a wonderful painting.

In my opinion this would look better without the color toning and the texturing, I would like to see a clean sharp photograph displaying true HDR.

Hi from the Critique Club.

What a special shot. I hope this is somebody special to you and that you have this hung somewhere around your house. Liquid in Motion. Your shot definitely meets the challenge, and in such a special way with a child playing. That such a little person can make such a big splash, really surprising. The arc of water below the hand seems to suggest almost a delicate playfulness but the mountain of splash beneath suggests far more energetic action was going on. So fun.

Technicals, I can't find anything to complain about. I like how full the scene is, and the ball really gave the scene depth and context for me. Sure maybe we could have wished the sunlight had been more even or delicate on the little guy's face, but it's hard to want for more with such a sweet subject. (And what a lucky break this happened during the perfect challenge.)

Keep shooting!
Julee

I absolutely LOVE this! It reminds me a bit of ursula. Her work is stunning too.
