Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

It’s debatable whether this belongs in the abstract category. I’m putting it there because I wasn’t trying to replicate anything in nature, just to make a picture.

I get banding in this compressed version that isn’t there in the original.

Specific Feedback

Mostly I’m interested in whether this conveys a mood.

Technical Details

ISO 100, 18mm, f/16, 1.6 sec.

I like this a lot, Don, though I don’t know whether it belongs in Abstract or not. I don’t think it matters that much. The contrasts between the dark sky and very bright and “twiggy” plants is really nice.

Thanks, Dennis.
