You managed to take one of the most-repeated reflective surfaces (glasses) for this subject and produce a genuinely original image. The composition and depth-of-field work very effectively on this one.
The selected natural setting seems good and atractive, but IMHO this image absolutely requires a perfect technique to compensate for the lack of originality; the reflection of the waterfall would need to be in a perfect focus in order to provide interest. I'm not saying that would be easily achieved.
This is a superb idea that's been very neatly done. However, DOF lets it down quite a bit; I think had the glasses also been in sharp focus and the surrounding background were totally black, this would have been a masterpiece. I'd try shooting this again in manual mode, set F8 – or higher if possible – experimenting with the shutter speed to get the right background exposure. Other than that, keep shooting it's a great shot – (7)
Meets the Challenge: Yes Artistic Merit (Would I print/frame/hang it?): 7 Creativity (Did a lot of thought go into this photo?): 7 Technical (Focus/DOF/Lighting/Etc): 5 Composition (Subject well-positioned and framed): 8 WOW Factor (Is the photo interesting?): 8
This is a nice shot... Good use of limited DOF. The image that is reflecting is crystal clear and very much in focus. The only thing that I see the detracts from the photo is the ear piece folded behind the lense. I don't think it would look right sticking out of the back of the photo either... and I can't ask you to break your sunglasses ;) - 7 - JB
All my family lives right near here. Except me, I live in MI. I have been here many times, and have never seen THIS view of it. very pretty. I love the angle and the lighting is perfect for the shot. focus and clarity are great. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
