I can perhaps dream of capturing a photo like this! Focus and dof are just perfect. Superb composition. Probably the blue ribbon for this challenge. 10
There are not enough superlatives to describe how great this image is. Outside of being slightly dark on the left side of the image this is perfection. Outstanding, wonderful work. A very memorable image that transcends the challenge and moves into fine art photography. Kudos to you.
Great photo. Was this completely adjusted in photoshop, or was it shot with a filter? Almost looks infrared the way the sky is darkened and the white shrubbery.
As I see this, the trees on the left lack some definition, and I think that hurts the image - the excellent toning of those on the right is unbalanced by it. Good clouds, good reflections, and I like the foreground log-thing, although i might have wanted more definition there too. Ultimately, I think the composition isn't great - what you seem to have captured is the surroundings of an empty space: my eye is drawn constantly to the join of that right hand stand of trees and those on the far side of the lake, and there isn't that much there to hold interest, to focus the eye. The bright part of the clouds pulls the eye, and you end up wandering through the image, with no point to hold the attention. Strong efffort, nontheless. 7
Yup - that's deep alright. If not in the top 3 then this will be on the front page, deservedly. Great scene and lovely contrast - although the left side appears a little too burned and is heavy as a result.
Ahhhhhh... Lovely work, meets the challenge perfectly. Great tonal range, with details visible in both the blacks and whites. Good choice for a b/w shot - those clouds really give the image punch.
