Greetings from The Critique Club

This photo is really good. Beautiful panorama. The light is soft. You have taken the picture at the good time. The black and white gives a beautiful atmosphere. The blue makes it surreal. The first plan pops out of the whole as the background scene makes the perfect frame for a subject.
The light and the mood are perfect for the scene. I think you have cropped it well, it gives the image extra depth, and it feels like one is drawn in to the picture. I love the siluetted trees. I also love the fence. It looks like it is dividing two worlds. I think you have succeded not to make this picture a cliché, partly by selecting B&W and adding the purple-blue tint. I do not see anything I would like to change. Maybe the final score.

Keep up the good work. Was an honor to critique your photo.
Best regards,
Elena

This is a lovely shot but the post processing is a bit too much for my taste. I'm not sure i like this coloration of this shot and would like to see it in either it's original color or even a black and white. A 6 to start but am raising to a 7

Unusual visuals here, but I like now they evoke an otherworldly feeling. The building and flowers are so white, they distract some of the focus, but I do like this image a lot.

i am not sure i like the coloring in this. i do like the composition and framing, however.

I love the background and tinting, which resembles infra-red photography. But the main subject seems obscured in the black and too glaring in the white - possibly a weak fill-flash would have balanced it better.

Don't know that the IR effect really improves or changes the composition or makes it more interesting. Everything seems to be sliding to the left.

I'm going to start out by saying that i think this is a little too contrasty...the shadows obscure some of what i think are important details (like the face of the monument). the sky is great. i might have cropped a little off the left to simplify it a bit (only my preference, of course). Having said all that I'm using a pretty dark monitor, so I'm going to check back when i get home to see if i still feel the same way. -Pedro

nice infared. the bright flowers bring attention to the thomasson even tho it is in the shade. I like the background of the trees and house with the fence drawing a line, gives a sense of place. How would it look including a bit more sky?
