Critique Club Review:

Very nice picture.

Focus is great. Lighting, color, saturation, hue, contrast, brightness are all done quite well.

I don't know if there ever really has been a sky like this, but there sure ought to be. I do find the purple vegetation in the foreground competes a bit with the sky. I'm not sure what to make of the house. It seems to be at an un-natural angle. Did it really seem to lean and warp like that? With the very pink sky, a warmer white on the house seems to be in order. I could have liked this picture as well with just the water in the foreground, maybe even better. Sort of an enchanted island in the distance sort of thing.

As it is, I really enjoyed this picture.

How PRETTY! I have such an image of Iceland in my mind. Dramatic, beautiful skies every single day. Wide expansive fields with richly colored barnes scattered about, but not too closely together, and ocean scenes that make you want to cry! Yep. ..that must be Iceland, and you have captured it perfectly with your photography!!!

That looks a little like heather in the foreground. It's an interesting location.

Is the building supposed to be slanted? Even if it isn't, it doesn't take away from the shot. Very pretty. Good luck.

wow, very striking sky and composition. love how smooth it all is, and are those houses leaning to the left or is it just me?

Very nice colours, I wish the small house / barn / whatever was closer though.

pretty colors. The distortion of the shapes is a bit distracting
