Hi Kandyj, wow! handheld at 1/8 shutter speed, not bad, not bad at all!
Your sepia here looks slightly pink to me, I think it kind of gives the photo an early morning look which I can't decide whether I like or not. Nice job on using your rule of thirds, and the flower, or plant sticking up in the upper left hand corner adds to the composition. I really think this was nicely composed. The foreground in the photo to me is slightly busy... besides in the upper left hand corner, on the nice calm water, I'm not sure where my eyes are supposed to be looking. The lighting looks pretty even here, and there are no drastic shadows that I can see, though there may have been in the original, hidden by the sepia. Personally I wouldn't really consider this to be a classical landscape, however it does fit the definition of landscape. The contrast in here looks rather dull, the entire picture seems to be almost the same color which is fairly bothersome, it's almost got a greyish pinkish film over the entire thing. Overall the photo leaves me wondering what the rest of the pond/lake/whatever looks like, and thinking that the ground isn't extremely interesting to me. Although I like the rocks, I think this wasn't a very exciting subject. I'd be interested in seeing more photos that you took during this outing. Good luck on your next challenges!
There are not really a lot of instances where sepia works for me. This one turned out pretty well. The composition isn't terribly exciting but it's a pretty nice pic. - Inspzil
Nide DOF ans sharpness, but I think it is lackking in contrast. Besides, I think landscape pictures usually picture a.. uh.. landscape, rather than a detail of one. Still, lovely picture (7)
