Sunday Morning

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.

Sunday morning it was quite chilly with patchy frost, I braved the cold though in the hope of something special. This is was shot just after sunrise.

Nice light - I like that little hint of yellow in the window too.

I love it Geoff. The dreamy landscape, the hint of mist, the sun all make for a beautiful and superb image

nice Geoff.

i find the composition missing something or maybe its just unbalanced, i can not put my finger on it, however I think removing those poles does go along way. I had a quick tweak to try and work out it out, maybe having the sun on the left side of the frame? dunno..anyway let me know if you want it removed.

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

Thanks all. No problem with your rework Gerry.

I hear ya on the comp and I think that the building is probably too central within the frame. Unfortunately framing it left or right introduced elements that just did not work at all.

I actually prefer the shot with the poles as it gives the landscape a receding perspective

I think it's cleaner and simpler with no poles. It's a beautiful image either way though.
