I have one of these on my street. I love it, but for me, this is more of a macro abstract than a dutch angle.

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well.

What a great location to live, lucky you! This is a very competent landscape that would fit perfectly in any tourist guide of the area, well done. Like any good landscape image it relies upon the quality of the light but also being predominantly white it is easy to get the exposure of such a shot wrong, you've generally done a good job here though there may be scope for a hint more exposure without blowing the highlights to emphasise the whites. The lighting gives the scene a much more three dimensional feel. There is a blue cast that may benefit from some subtle correction but this may not truly reflect the scene you had before you. I think the composition could be improved by placing the peak further to the right so that it balances more with the trees in the lower left and we also get to see more of them.

As an obviously keen skier what better place could you ask to live, thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us Camelia and good luck with your future entries.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I spent almost 7 years living in BC - Vancouver and Terrace - so thought this probably was a redwood stump with all that moss and lichen on it. I like the idea you're going with but you have major technical issues to deal with. Mostly the composition is boring - it's a mossy stump. There's nothing to grab the eye, no real focal point.

The high ISO means you have some detail in the stump, but also blows out the snow and washes out the colours. That's a major no-no. The aperture is only f5.6 which probably isn't nearly enough for a stump this size, and the shutter speed is too fast. I see you're using a kit lens, so get a tripod. Go back. Shoot at your lowest ISO, make the aperture much smaller and increase the shutter speed to, say, 2.5 seconds. Go from there!
