Critique Club Review:
Quite an interesting phtograph.
Good depth of field, focus is fine. I like the yellow and green saturation. However, to my eye the "wizard" is almost a distraction. He seems almost "photo-shopped" in. The light is from behind him, yet he is lit from the front and casts no shadow.
You have a really good, mysterious photo here. Almost a monchromatic study. A darker "wizard" would have been more of a compliment.
Judi, Judi, Judi...I thought this would get a blue ribbon...great to be in the top 10...I am sure you had higher expectations for this...what a bummer the votes just didn't get you there...
I love the trees, the coloring, the shadows and light, the bridge is very nice, and that wizard ends up being a distraction for me. He actually takes away from the magical and mystery elements, at least for me. Perhaps this is because the magic and mystery is already apparent, and doesn't seem to need the wizard in control.
Mystery and magic in one shot. I guess I would've liked to see more of the magician, though. The rest of it is so dark and green that a stronger subject would improve it. Still, a 5.
I like the mood of the setting. The lighting and color are excellent. However I'm having some difficulty reconcilling the brightness (and whiteness)of the wizard with such a strong and colored backlight. That perhaps is supposed to be the magical aspect of the photo but it doesn't quite work for me. Overall it's very nicely crafted otherwise.
this looks like it will be right up there with the ribbon winners...superb light and composition it looks like an image out of LORD OF THE RINGS...this is perfect for the challenge 9
