Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club. First off congratulations on your #2 image!
First Impression: An interesting landscape, its quite a barren looking place and probably not much different in colour. Whilst the clouds look ok I think some careful dodging and burning would make them more dramatic,
Composition: My initial thought was to crop the bottom 1/3 off however that would be a mistake as your lose the road and the little bit of foreground that anchors the image and becomes a platform to enter the rest of the image
Subject: Mountain ranges and good skies often do well here though to score very well they need to be perfect and maybe even better looking than real life. This is a strong image and am sure it would look good as a large print.
Technical: Well, am guessing you have a post-it note on your camera that says 'Check ISO' now? We've all done it but maybe getting into the habit of a quick review of the setting before a new shoot would be prudent? That said I don't think the image was really harmed though the shutter speed was a little extreme and you probably lost some detail.
Final thoughts:It might have been taken in Ansel Adams territory but don't think it comes up to his standard however, its a great shot and easily worth its score/placement in the June FS. |

| Perhaps the highest compliment any reviewer can pay a photographer is that Ansel Adams would have been proud to have taken this image. While the image has a couple of minor issues, from an artistic standpoint, it's perfect, powerful and purposeful. There is a lot in this image to recommend it to the casual viewer, but perhaps most importantly, it captures a single moment in time which Adams was a master of. Very effective - well done. The best of the challenge in my opinion. |
