I couldn't disagree more with the scores you got on this photo. Maybe there just aren't enough fishermen in our ranks who can appreciate the sacrednous of a trout hole. When I saw the photo I could just picture the trout lurking in the eddy just waiting for a fly to float down through the current. Nicely done.
This is a lovely shot, the motion of the water almost makes me have to go to the bathroom, LOL! I like the overall composition of the shot and the crop is also well done. The top seems a bit bright but not too much and a bit more clarity in the rest of the shot would have scored you a 9 or 10, as is, an 8
Personally I would have liked a longer exposure here to show the water flowing like silk (It's just me though, I like pictures like that) Your picture is great, the only bit that torubles me is the leaves at the top.7
Nice comp; good exposure; seems a little unsharp and unclear; perhaps movement blur for low shutter speed (not talking about the water, that's fine, its the tree and rocks...)
this is nice. i like the slightly slower shutter to get the motion in the water, but it also seems to have a bit of blur from camera shake...did you use a tripod? If not, that would solve it. the colours are nice, but seem a little too much. a little less saturation would help i think. good shot. -Pedro
However you might want to adjust your WB if you can. There's a slight blue cast here. Not enough to ruin the pic but I'm sure your getting that. Next time you try this bring a tripod. I know it's a hassle but in any low light situation I have found that I get cleaner, sharper pix if I use a tripod. I learned that when I was still shooting regularly with my old kodak. It's ecential now with my rebel. It also provides something stable to lean on when I'm trogging through the woods. I got mine at wallmart only $40 they have cheeper ones but when I went to price tripods realized this was a good deal.
Have you tried long sutter spped for a soft look?? You don't have to the pic is good as it stands It's only that I'm experementing with them and I've found it frustrating and ultimatly satifying when I get a good result.
can see some camera shake on the rocks and leaves. did you have a tripod? Nice composition, lighting, and color; just the technical aspects need a little work.
Peaceful image, but the rocks and trees seem a bit unfocused, probably due to the length of the exposure. Now that I've said that, I really like the peacefulness of this image and this certainly looks like a 'sacred' place to you, so good job on interpreting the challenge. Good luck.
