The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Although I’m putting this in the abstract category, it’s a straight photo with minimal processing. I was hiking beside a creek, seeing what there was to see, and this grabbed my eye.
Specific Feedback
All feedback is welcome.
Technical Details
ISO 1000, 70mm. f/11. 1/30th sec., tripod, polarizer. I adjusted the tones in Lightroom and Photoshop. Originally I made this one much warmer but that resulted in clipping in the red channel so I had to back off, which I think was probably a good idea anyway.
Critique Template
Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
I like this a lot, Don. Particularly the transition from the somewhat horizontally oriented ripples to the more circular ones at the bottom of the frame. The tonality and colors also work nicely.
Don, I like the way the center right patch of green allows me to look either down to the water ripples or up and to the left looking at the brighter foliage. My only suggestion is the top lhs green area might be a bit bright for me, pulling my attention away from the ripple / forest transition. A fine photo.
Don, this is a fine reflection abstract. The transition from small ripples above to moving water below adds good interest and an additional level of abstraction. The top half has a fine “impressionist” look.
