Image Description

I was as if trapped on a bridge without much room for maneuver in terms of using the best compositional aid I know - my feet. I like the photo but I’m not sure the composition works; either the river below or the green spot in LRC.

Quite a moody picture - post peak. Perhaps if the barren tree on the right was bit more central with more foliage to the right

I am having trouble with the bare tree on the right. It is so bright that it keeps dragging my eye to it. I also find the uneven strip of water at the bottom strange. I want either water across the bottom even or none at all. I do however love the sharp detail and the varied textures throughout the photo. The soft lighting really helps as well keeping any dark shadows out of the mix of trees.

Joao, I really like the overall mood and softness of this image. The colors and tones are very pleasing to my eye. However, as the others have said, the tree on the right side draws too much of my attention.
