He sure is! Speaking of which, I just came across an X-ray profile view of an entire turtle and realized, to my amazement, that the "shells" are part of their skeletal structure. In other words, you can't remove a turtle or tortoise from its shell. I don't know why that surprised me, but it was an aha moment. I digress. Wonderful image!

It couldn't be any better, could it? I'm looking for a nit to pick. Yay, I found one! Two actually :-) I wish I could see the horse's eye rolling, and I think I see a bit of awkward masking at the butt end of things. But I had to work hard for those nits! Well done! 9 for now.

This is pretty daring: curvilinear triangles are an actual thing, so points for bravery. It's a lovely image.

There's so much to love about this image. The composition is excellent. The tonal range is mostly spot-on IF it were B/W, which the foreground actually seems to be. But the slight hint of color is off-putting to me; from my perspective, there should be NO color or, if you do choose selective desaturation (it wouldn't be my choice, but...), then it should be a little more obvious. Finally, and this is what keeps me coming back, the way you've darkened in the sky upper right and given it a hint of color is just way off. I feel like the sky WANTS to be paler, and this fill-in isn't ding you any favors.

So, to recap my own, personal feelings on the image, it's crying out to be a fine B/W print and I'm disappointed you didn't take it in that direction. I'm just commenting now: I already gave the image a 7 a few days ago. I expect you're probably scoring reasonably well, and I hope you are :-)

In its conception, this is a lovely image. But I'm going to stick my neck out, hoping you won't mind, regarding a few ways it's not living up to its potential:

1. The image feels badly skewed, giving the whole an unbalanced air. I realize you went to the trouble of leveling the shoreline itself, but my eyes KNOW that's supposed to be a receding shoreline so I find myself slamming hard against it. The mountaintops in the distance would have worked for you as a natural level...

2. The figure and the dog WANT to be an intermediate focal point and my eyes are TRYING to go there but they just are not quite prominent enough, and they become almost a flaw, an eye-trap.

3. The mass of pebbly beach filling the lower-left quadrant of the image is far too big and featureless, and it's denaturing the otherwise quite entrancing mixture of color and light you have to work with. I suspect that had you ambled another 30 feet towards the figures and pointed the camera a bit more upwards, the composition as a whole would be much more harmonious...

4. Finally, you quite rightly took a stab at toning down a very large, very bright sunhole in the upper left, but the execution isn't up to par. I don't know if you can see it on your monitor, but you've filled the whole with blocky gray shapes that are entirely artificial. There are much better ways to accomplish what you set out to do.

I obviously don't know who you are as I write this, but if you find this criticism too harsh and want it gone (some people do feel that way) then let me know via PM and I'll delete it immediately, OK? Contrariwise, if you want some mentoring on landscape photography, and processing, I'd be happy to work on that with you.

Robt.
