Great photo. Love the way you maximized the crop to make the photo as large as possible. Anyone who gets up at sunrise to get photos gets an extra point from me...Good job.
Change the contrast? Change the sharpness? Change the slight Blurring? Wait for more daylight? No to all the above. I love the forlorn lonely feel. Not sure if it will make it to ribbon, but I do like what you accomplished with this shot. Good luck!
This is a great photo and a wonderful scene. I think that in your composition, you somehow managed to include too much...most viewers are going to be a bit confused by the whole thing. For example, there is just no overall flow to the photo.
The water does draw me into the photo pleasantly, and the touch of yellow is really nice for some 'pop'...the repetitive shape on the bridge is also something I'd look to capitalize on if you can score another trip to this place. The fog rolling in (or out) is also a nice touch. Like I said, wonderful scene.
Nice capture of the morning fog. Nice composition. When I scroll down I like the image better with the yellow shrub in forground gone. Good luck with this landscape study.
