The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
After far too little time for photography in the last two years due to other comitments, I have had plenty of time the last two months to wander the shores of the Gulf of Botnia, with the ever changing patterns in the ice.
Specific Feedback
I have really tried all sorts of compositions with the icy boulders and the small island, not being sure what works best. And I do like this somehow symmetric image. Maybe I should have taken the photo one step to the left, but I think something distracting appeared in the background then.
Technical Details
OM1 12-100 at 34 mm, iso 100, f 10, 1\15s. Panorama of 4 vertikal images.
Critique Template
Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
This is a really interesting image. I like the foreground ice buckling and forming an arrow pointing to the far rock outcropping. It makes me wonder what’s under the ice ice to cause it to be pushed up like these piles. That foreground split is about to become one of those more pronounced bulges. They are very odd and yet interesting and mysterious at the same time. The symmetry is ideal. I think if you took one step to the left things might have lined up slightly better and the that foreground arrow would be more centered but who knows. It doesn’t bother me at all. There is a fourth bulge that does not appear to have split but is rising well above the sea level. The snow patterns on the frozen gulf are just right in the background and the foreground is relatively clean looking.
@David_Haynes Thanks for your feedback. As I often make panoramas it is hardto always spot if I’m in the right spot, so I often end up with a few versions from slightly different viewpoints, but it is hard to tell if they’re good or not until I’ve stitched them together back at home … Anyway, I like this version.
