1.in what area is critique to be sought?
In all areas :
Technique / Composition / Processing
Info:
Canon 6D. 24-70mm at 24mm f/14 with B+W 10 stop filter
2 shot manual exposure blend in photoshop after colour correction. (91 sec and 60 sec)
Processing : Blended the exposures of the two images. tweaked the hues and saturation. Removed some of the debris in the water that disrupted the visual flow
Accentuated the blues (on the right of the image and yellows on the left of the image)
2.what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
I wanted to capture the pretty colours of the sunset along with the stillness of the water. I was hoping to get more of a fog-like effect. But I don't think I achieved that too well (Inspiration from Stefan's works that I remember seeing some years back on Clubsnap)
No deep thoughts/inspiration. I just wanted to make a nice photo that I can print out for my wall.
3.under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
No deep thoughts/inspiration. I just wanted to make a nice photo that I can print out for my wall.
4.what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
Strengths :
Colours. sharpness. The presences of two colour tones.
First time doing more than just colour correction for landscape photos and manipulating it more than usual in Photoshop.
Areas for Improvement:
The cloud shape isn't so nice. I should fill up the gap on the top left. Make it a whole cloud.
The band of bright orange is a little unsettling.
I could have processed the blue hues more and made it richer. I think I held back too much, for fear of overdoing it.
Thanks and cheers!
