The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I’ve been to Senja in Norway three times now all of them visits around the end of March beginning of April mainly so I can get vehicular transport to less acessible places and still get plenty of snow. This is from my first trip and taken on my old Pentax 67II with Fuji Velvia film and a very good apochromatic ED 300mm Pentax 67 lens lens, handheld at around F8 and 1/250 second. The snow is about 3m deep of unblemished snowfields and mountains casting soft hazy blue shadows from reflected clear blue sky. This remains one of my favourite shots of the area. I waited an age for the tree shadows to separate as the sun slowly moved around.
Specific Feedback
Feedback is always welcome.
Technical Details

Critique Template
Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
Ah well that’s Velvia film for you. The shadows of the mountains of course are pretty much the same colour and of course softer being further away from the projection screen, namely the snow.
You have a beautiful image here.
I love the overall atmosphere, the Velvia color, the, as noted, separation of shadow and tree.
I love the blue that crowns the tree.
If it were mine, I’d think about eliminating the blue triangle 1/3 of the way down the left edge. It seems too strong to me and unbalances the composition a little.
Anyway, a beautiful image
Ian, the curvaceous trees look like they’re dancing. I like that you’ve got their full shadow and how it angles in from the corner. Even though I understand blue sky reflection from white snow, the blueness in the upper right feels a bit too strong. It does make the viewer think.
What I like best about this image, and I like the entire image a lot, is the diagonal shadow at the top which gives the illusion that you’re bending light and have a different sun angle on the tree shadows. It really made me study the image. Well seen!
Such a wonderful minimalist image here Ian. Except for the difference in size, the trees seem to mirror each other. I got the feeling that they were like a parent and offspring. Great work.
Beautiful lights and colors especially with the sun almost at its zenit. This may creates different feeling looking at the image. I love the photo and I wouldn’t touch a thing.
