The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Thanks again everyone for your feedback on the Mirror Lake image I submitted earlier. Here is another version, taken a step or two back, showing more sky but introducing leaves and branches that were located above where I was standing. I think I like this version better, although it does seem somewhat busy with leavves and branches.
Specific Feedback
Do the leaves and branches take away from the reflection? Does this photo feel “open” enough and not too busy?
Technical Details
Nikon Z6, Nikon Z 14mm-30mm lens.
SS 1/320, f4.5, ISO 125

Richard,
It is always good to push the boundaries and think outside the box for our photography. I personally like your first post better as the dark branches are a little busy in this one and block me from enjoying the mountain in the BG. The one on the right occupies almost 1/4th of the frame. I am not trying to sound negative and this is just my opinion of course. The bottom line is do what you are happy with.
I agree with @Ed_Lowe comments. I often love including overhanging trees and branches, but usually as a means to cover an uninteresting sky. Also a minor nit. There is a tiny vignette in the ULC.
Thank you both for your additional comments. This is exactly the kind of feedback I am looking for. It’s always helpful and useful to hear the perspective of others looking at this photos with “fresh” eyes.
