Great movement. THe red shirt and guitar are a nice addition and give the photo some punch.

Great shot! IMHO, the border detracts rather than adds to the image...

This has great DOF!! The green of the plant with the yellow willowiness of the grassy frond is a lovely duet in the foreground. The leading line of the driveway IS wonderful - I agree. What a "days gone by" sense this gives. Thanks for a brief respit from my responsibilities.

Originally posted by SJCarter: This is absolutely beautiful! Fantastic composition and I love the DOF. The clouds look a tad grainy to me (something that neat image or noise ninja could probably smooth out nicely), but otherwise - oustanding.

nah i did that myself, easily removeable, no worries, just never removed it, oh well.

I don't really know too much about the composition or technical side of this but, I absolutely love it. I could sit here all day and stare at it. Makes me feel really calm-- and I am a pretty anxious person.

Beautiful composition. The placement of the fisherman in your framing is perfect. The water is great, especially the reflections. I think it forms a great leading line bringing the eye to the fisherman. I have to agree, the sky looks a little washed out, especially compared to it's wonderful reflection in the water. A trick you could try in editing if you wanted, and of course depending on what you use, is selecting just the sky, pick out a nice blue for foreground color and apply a gradient, set on foreground to transparent, then drop the opacity til it looks right. Just have to watch and make sure it still matches the reflection.

Yes, nice composition. The selective desat in this case I think adds some interest to the shot. Definitely a nice 'S' curve going on. I agree with faidoi, I think some stronger darks could be an improvement. A good perspective, and I like the opposing clumps of trees, a good balanced feel.

Composition is nice with the selective desat of the yellow. Makes you want to race up around the curve on a motorcycle or sportscar. Simply a drifters' dream image.

The darkness of the black frame makes the image itself seem like it need a bit more contrast. A slight darking of the contrast in levels would make the image and the frame blend together nicely.
