Critique Club Review:

Interesting picture....

The horizon is just about along the upper rule of thirds line.

The horizon is a little curved. Wide angle lens? I see a cloudy sky, so no shadows makes sense. However, the sky near horizion is so bright as to be blown out and featureless. The spray winds up dissapearing into it. I would have liked it a bit better, if that hadn't happened.

Otherwise color, saturation, and hue, as well as focus and depth of field work very well.

I like this picture.

I am amazed that this photo wasn't in the top 10. You did a wonderful job! Keep up the good work. I would still love a print of your work from this challenge!

I hope you decide to sell this photograph as a print. Beautiful is all I can say. You have my vote---9.

Good depth of field and symetry. Looks like thirds to me!

Interesting. This takes some studying to see the rule of 3rds. But once you see it, you get it. Here is how I see it. The subject is the splash of water that hits the end of the concrete. There are 2 main lines dividing the image visually and they are perfectly at the 1/3rd positions. The horizon and the line of shadow under this first broken piece even though it isn't seen all the way across. I think this is one of the best examples of this challenge so far.

excellent use of the rule - realy feels wet!

OK the shot is divided in 3 horizontal parts, but not according to the thirds rule. I'm afraid I do not think it meet the challenge.

Gorgeous. Looks like a poster.

Pretty cool photo. Nice motion capture of the wave. For this challenge, I would like this better if the horizon and the large horizontal stone were closer to the thirds lines.

"...your points of interest should be placed on the intersections of those lines...": what is that point of interest?
Anyway a good picture.
