Quite modern, I think; in the sense that your subject is not a classically gorgeous one, but is more about the real, the beauty of the mundane, the anti-beautiful, if you like, except this doesn include some more usual stuff. That very smoothness of that wate is exceptionally well done - those bubbles or whatever essential just to let us know it's there; the tones of the grasses work well with that blue also. can't imagine the masses going for it in any particular way, but it has appreciation from this quarter.
tranquilll...perhaps so muc so as to approach b oring.... if only you could have had a frog's eyes popping out the upper right hand side...but i imagine you have already said that to yourself
Breathtaking by its simplicity. A truly wonderful image, with vibrant colours, great DOF and a sense of peace and tranquility. Upper level score from me... it should do well.
i love this. this is the type of image i love to just sit back and soak in. thanks for sharing.
the one thing i wrestle with in images like this, is how much clean up do you do. while the stuff floating on the right preserves the 'integrity' of what you captured, don't you sometimes feel that the image would be more enjoyable if that stuff was cleaned up? i guess it really comes down to what you want from an image. i can appreciate it either way.
