Landscape Strobism

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Just trying to cull some of my old pictures and came across this one. Here I was using a strobe triggered by poon-triggers to lightup that dome nicely....

C&C welcome.

Its a nice concept and nicely executed but lacking another element to complete the composition - maybe a person, dog, cat, monkey?

There is too much space on the top also, imo, if there was a burnign sky then keep the top but at the moment its just chewing up hardworking electrons that could be better off somewhere else :D

So, pano crop would see an improvement from my books and the inclusion of a subject in the lefthand side of teh image, including a person just in the pergola would not be enough. Maybe having the person walking towards the pergola?

Also, lighten up that beautiful green grass, an absolute crime to have this hidden in the shadows!

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I'm up for having something smaller on the left to offset and balance the pergola but I'll have to disagree on the cropping of the top - I really like the way the trees and branches lean in and over the pergola, almost cradleing it. :)
