*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
First impressions are of a good image that meets the challenge but lacks quality.
You have selected an appealing location with a lovely waterfall and attempted to make it more dynamic by using a slow shutter speed to emphasise the movement in the water. In terms of the challenge you have included your model so we have a good focal point that the leading lines of the water leads us to, she also tells us something about the size of this waterfall, she gives it scale. I like your composition it works well.
The biggest thing that mars this image is the general softness throughout. You have obviously used a tripod but either there has been some camera movement during the long exposure or f22 is the smallest aperture your lens has. If it is the latter, which I think it is, we have a reduction in image quality due to diffraction by using the smallest aperture its a shame because you have a potentially good image here. I always try and avoid using the smallest aperture for this very reason.
There is also some overexposure in the brightest parts of the water, you have lost detail as a result which, the water being such an important part of the image, also lowers its impact.
I hope my thoughts help a little, keep at it… Sid |
