Silky Smooth Sunset

Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)

Composition/Lighting : compsition and lighting is beautiful here. might push the horizon itself up a little, but that's nitpicking.

Challenge : i think the reason for the sub-6 scores was they saw this as meeting the challenge through title only. the image itself does not scream out silky or smooth, but with the title it can be shoe-horned in. it's a good score for this image, about where i would guess that it would end up.

Conclusion : great capture, and great editing. you did well! keep up the great work :D

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)

Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)

Composition/Lighting : The lighting could not be anymore perfect here. composition is a bit lacking, though. the centered subject with nothing around it makes me want more, and somewhat lacks the "wow" factor. even if it was having the dog laying, where it didn't look uncomfortable.

Challenge : definitely meets the challenge. beautiful dog, and gorgeous silky smooth hair. you portrayed this well!

Conclusion : great job, i think that with the same lighting and a different composition (i know dogs are so hard to work with) this could have scored higher. you did a great job, though. very nice work :D

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)

Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)

Composition/Lighting : lighting on this is spot on, VERY nice. the only thing i could say about this to improve would be possibly placing the horizon line on the top third or bottom. nonetheless, that's just if i had to nitpick. you did a great job on this. very nice tonemapping, and everything else works very well together.

Challenge : meets the challenge perfectly. everything leads right to the point of the end. very nice, i gave it an 8

Conclusion : you did very well, i honestly can't think of anything that jumps out bad about this image. keep producing great work. great job!

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)
