*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A landscape assumed to fulfil the challenge brief
Given your description I would say you have achieved your goal with the chosen scene. There are, however, a few things I would like to talk about in order to help you try and improve upon your end result.
First of all your image is smaller than it needs to be which would inevitably go against you with the voters here so always try and make the most of your image through the challenge dimensions allowed.
Your image has all of the qualities you were seeking, isolation, solitude and loneliness being ways of expressing the same thing this location does seem to fulfil that objective. Decay is also represented with the roof of the building, and all of this against the purity of the snow which is unfortunately greyer than pure white snow needs to be. As your camera meter is always designed to give an average result for the average scene (18% grey) it will inevitably underexpose the snow and need brightening up in post processing. The problem here is that you will need to select just the snow as you already have over-exposure in the sky so you cannot simply give more exposure throughout.
Your composition could be improved, the building is very central, it would have a lot more impact of you had used the rule of thirds for placement of the building. The whole scene feels as if could benefit from more contrast it is a little lacking at the moment. There is vignetting which may be deliberate but I think it would be better without.
Thank you for your submission, I hope my comments help, Sid |
