Branch Refraction
by levyj413

Comment:
Most interesting perspective. I like original thought in anything, especially photography. This is original.

I do find my eye wanting to wonder down the branch because the focus continues and while that may or may not have been your intention I think a DOF pulled closer the edge of the frame might help reduce the eye wandering away from the water drop.

MY eye anyways. :)

You should be pleased how this turned out! Other than it being a bit on the dark side, it's clean crisp and it actually has lightning in it which is important for lightning pictures.
My only critique would be that perhaps the right side could be cropped a little bit more as the empty space competes with the focus of the picture (the lightning). Maybe in as far as the next fencepost.

NARF! Only beef is that I'd have preferred all the little buggers to have been in sharper focus. Or at least more of them. Or maybe a lower angle would pull this more towards a focused spot for the eye to grab? (8)

So pretty. Just too centered IMO. Panning the pic up more so the horizon is lower. However, having said that it would mean plenty of dark sky. (8)

Nice work in capturing this. Nice that you kept the gull in the top right. Perhaps a bit more blue for him to fly into before darting out of the picture? (IOW: Make the pic a tad wider?)

3 things would have helped IMO. 1. Faster shutter speed 2. Focus (duh) and 3 a lower angle

Lots of halo issues around both pieces and not sure if it's natural noise or if you just made it grainy. Whatever it is, definitely doesn't help.
