The photographer is looking for deeper feedback connected to their intent, creative direction, and specific questions.
Feedback Focus: Artistic / Expressive
Where Feedback Would Help Most
I’d appreciate feedback on the composition — whether the balance, framing, or spacing is working. I’m curious whether anything pulls attention away from what I want to be the focus.
Ruhal, I think your frames works very well in both photos. The extra space in the first post adds to the sense of mystery. I also like the mix of blue and green tones, with the bluish tint of the cloud fitting the mood well. You might want to clone out the brighter side of that distant barn, as it stands out from the rest of the scene.
Black and white works well in your second post. I also like how the mix of trees and cloud fill the frame, with trees almost disappearing on the left edge. The two sections of heavy cloud help set off the shape in the trees of the rest of the view…I can imaging a bear or dog’s face looking to the right. My initial reaction was to clone out the bird, but having two in the frame helps to show that their presence is important as it adds to the sense of altitude.
The first one has lovely mist, an extremely strong leading line to the White House. So strong is the pull of this that my eye goes straight to it and then out of the image in the URC.
You might add a little fog in ps if you create a suitable brush or clone from another area to cause the viewer’s eye to move back round to the central tree and explore round there.
The second image is my preferred one and the mono emphasises the fog very nicely and the viewers eye moves round this image in a very pleasing way. There is a triangular or rectangular composition from the main bird(s) and the two darker trees on the right side - all of which are rendered very well. The second bird works to pull you out of the triangle to explore the rest of the image making the eye navigate in a more rectangular way. The less foggy area extending up from the bottom holds the interest bounded by the darker points mentioned. Great composition.
Lovely capture of what must have been a magical experience
