Thankyou to everyone who commented on my first effort.
I had a good idea with this shot and it turned out quite well considering the camera i was using.
I accept that i could have framed it better than i did.
I was limited by my camera, its only a point and shoot thing. I used the inbuilt night shot mode in the camera and rested the camera on a wall and used the self timer as well so i was not touching the camera when it took the photo.
I had zoomed in as far as i could with the cameras inbuilt digital zoom but i realise that it was not enough to get what i wanted. I could not get closer to the subject becasue of the lake.
It could have been better and i can see how it could have been better. I just need a better camera now :)
Good idea but it seems lost in the space. Maybe zoomed in on the tree and reflection on the lake would be better? Also the photo has quite a bit of noise and lacks clear focus. With a little work in PS you might be able to salvage some of it. Keep trying and Good luck.
I really like this idea, but the picture just looks poorly taken. Maybe recompose to one side to follow the rule of thirds. Amazing visions of what this could become! You have a great eye.
John, this is not a bad pic and i think the general idea is great. Yip, this must fit the challenge, looking at it in perspective. I do think the composition is not too strong and would have, for example, panned closer and put the tree more to the right. And then as far as post processing goes, you could have made it sharper and perhaps played with the levels to give it more color. You have great color potential here, but this pic in my opinion is a bit dull. The damning part is your tree is not at all sharp, that could also have made a big difference. As i didnt consider the challenge in this pic, nether negative nor positive, I feel comfortable to stay with my score. However, as encouragement, please go back and retake the pic if you can, not for anybody else but for you. go play with the option of zooming in a bit and placing the tree more to the right. whenever i get feedback i dont like, i go back and try the advise given. I honestly believe this pic has more potential than you realize. BEST LUCK FURTHER, bumping up to 5.
