Lovely dreamy/mystic atmosphere with good foreground lead in. I believe the horizon slopes to the left.
7.5/10 earns you a 1point gong

I would love to love this one but I can't.
Tilt to the left.
Dull - maybe you wanted the ambience but it's dull.
the composition leaves an almost 50/50split horizon, with nothing of great interest in the sky but the water holds MUCH more interest. Suggest a crop to chop the sky in favour of the water/stones therein. Brighten, more contrast, max saturation, crop to place the posts in a stronger visual position. Sharpen more, black frame.
It does not end up as a 'different' photograph, as it remains totally atmospheric as you intended but comes out as a much more interesting image.
There, I say what I see. Would you like a good crit or something like 'Wow great shot bye'? Exploding packages to the usual address.

Very nice shot Martin.
All the picture that taken with digital camera I think their contrast are low and we should increase it.

You know - I love landscapes, really I do. And I love this image because it is a true reflection - every sense - of the location.

Of course it's technically brilliant - but more important to me is that I relate to the location - it makes me want to go there - I can sense it from this image.

I guess, what I mean in summary, is that it's not contrived or saccharin.

Best wishes, Simon

I do really like this series. Scrolling it up and down I think I agree with Kit. Also the foreground being brown and everything else blue and white is a bit jaring, perhaps toning the whole thing with blue might work.

Actually i have just tried it and the toning idea is rubbish....move along nothing to see here.

HELLO MARTIN.
What a wonderful picture. The tones of it are amazing, I enjot the deep blues which create a mystical mood. You handle perfectly with the textures.
Congratulations.

Hi Martin,

Wow! excellent mood shot. You may try tilting the image a few degrees to the right to level the horizon.

Regards,

Allan

Hi there!
A wonderfully dramatic, atmospheric shot. Amazing colours and use of the light, and great composition too. Well done and TFS!
