Greetings from the Critique Club
What a splendid country you live in! To have the Himalayas as an everyday playground must be truly exciting.
I'm pleased to have the opportunity to examine your Cold Mountain image more closely. You have excellent composition and good definition of the topographical features. The one thing I am looking for that is often found in Ansel Adam's photographs is transparency. Perhaps a slightly different time of day, when the fog is not quite so heavy, or a bit of dodging to lighten up areas of fog, or even a careful application of Curves in PS might be the way to get some value change. Or maybe this is as light as it gets - in which case, you take that very nice score you received and be thankful.
But still, you have a splendid image here and it's worth playing with to see if you can make it outstanding.
I look forward to seeing more of your work on DPC.

| one of my favorite of the many ansel adams tributes. The fog hides the mountains and makes them more mysterious and glorious. 9. |

| Very sleeply and quiet looking. I love the details of the trees peeing out of the fog. |

| Not much really happening here. I think this suffers from too much mountain and not enough definitive subject. The fog, while great in some respects, is a bit distracting to a point. Plus you spelled his name wrong ;) |

| I think it lacks a little bit of contrast, otherwise a beautiful capture. |

if only there were more white and even a pure white in this image it would be steller, and new look at his style with a photograph which is clearly not over done as far as mymics go.
i would hit the fog/clouds with the dog tool and then with the burn to really exagerate the light and shadow. it would make this a really dynamic shot using his rules but keeping it yours...
as is nicly done. (the gamma on my mac maybe the prob. it is mac gamma and if this is a PC then your whites are my grays i will take that into account) good luck |
