lakeside serenity. Flare taken out, sky and tree levels procesing and a smidgen of sharpening.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

I wrote you a very long and detailed critique, but the demons in my computer ate it, so lets start again.

This image has a few strengths, The symetry is wonderful, not only in the brick work, the columns and the piers, but also in the trees fading into the distance. Its almost like a mirror image. The scene is very tranquil, from the ripples on the water it appears that there is a slight breeze blowing. It is a very calming photograph.


This photograph meets the challenge. It works, but not at the highest levels viewers may be looking for. The voters want to be challenged. They want to see a photograph that makes they wonder how you could have captured such an image. Your colors seem muted. There is nothing here that draws the eye and shouts "I am the subject of this photo". Perhaps if you had a brightly dressed person, maybe even a child, sitting on the bench or leaning against one of the pillers.

From the scores this photo received (no 1's or 2's, and also no 9's or 10's) it seems that no one loved or hated it. It is a difficult photo to be passionate about in either direction.

This critique is just my humbnle opinion, and I hope you found it helpful in some small way.

This is so pretty, makes me want to sit there. The circular feel works very well here.

Nice capture - Maybe just to add a little interest a person standing on one of those points in the water could have added something else to look at.
