Great comp and tones--if you burned the edges top and bottom (slight vignette), that would keep my eye where you want it,and not drawn to the foreground.
I like the way the picture is composed with the near bank, the island and distant bank horizontal, breaking up the vertical lines of the trees and reflections. The colour is lovely too.
Very nice....but placed next to one of the bright coloured landscapes that are prevalent in Free Studies...I feel this will not get its deserved score. Beautiful image all the same.
This is a soft (in feeling, not focus), subdued scene with no particular point of attention, a place calling for a quiet contemplation which the typical speed voter rejects. They (seem to) want to be hit by something obvious, splashy, bright or bewitching, not something which makes them want to sit down and write poetry about the meaning of life.
The colors and lighting give it a very painterly look, but without a recognizable landmark or distinctive feature it becomes just another lovely landscape shot to most people. I can picture it as a stock image found in pre-packaged picture frames; an instantly-recognizable yet anonymous scene. It's evocative, but unfortunately, (of course -- it's a little digital picture!) not to the degree you felt when you were there.
I think this is "well above average" and a fine piece, perhaps even earning a bonus for daring to go where DPC voters fear to tread.
Wow!! This is eye candy! I love the ethereal feeling to this shot. everything is just perfect. Hope this spot is near your home. Would be a grand place to do some serious thinking!!
Well Done!!! (10)
