This was my first try at something like this and I very much appreciate all of the thoughtful and constructive comments. I am learning tons from this WEB Site! Thanks!
Cute little shot here. The colors are nice and soft. I have two problems with it (mintor): The red flowers? on the right I feel distract from the image. And the tree/ladder could be moved over to the right a little bit to gain better composure?
Nice composition. Though I think it would have been better if the the whole thing were moved to the right a bit, so that you could see the whole ladder.
Not sure if you wanted to keep the red flowers on the right, but I would prefer the photo if you'd gotten more of the ladder in. The flowers seem more of a distraction here.
i like the composition very much but with only four rungs of the ladder showing it doesn't appear to have been taken from the perspective of the ground, more like from a standing height...unless you were on the ground and zoomed in?
The ladder is very inviting. Kind of feel sorry for Nick with just a branch to sit on, though. A vertical composition with more ladder might work better. Very nice colors and exposure right on.
The rope ladder really sells the notion of "ground up", bravo! Good exposure, focus, and composition. The only thing I'd like to be changed is the red flowers which keep pulling my eye away from the central focal point.
