Very rare occasions (moments) you have shoot. Very nice atmosphere and colors.

[Myer Bornstein]

Nice colors, but I would crop out the water to dull

[Robert Amoruso]

Bob,

Good layering with the colors and the rainbow in the BG icing on the cake. I agree with Myer that the water is dull in comparison to the grass but don't crop so much out you lose the FG layers due to the grass colors.

I would desaturate this some.

nice colors and composition

Hey Bob,
Another collaborative critique by Dave Mills and me........we both agred with the saturation point and the darkness of the water but mostly we felt that this would benefit from a crop on the rh side.....so we took some off...putting the rainbow in one of the vert ROT lines and took a bit off the top and bottom.....mostly to minimize the whites in the URC and try to retain the proportions. I did knock down the contrast of the grasses some and also lightened them just a touch. Overall, a pretty nice comp with some very innteresting storm colors.

Hi Roman and Dave....Thanks for the critique and showing me the potential of this image. Many good points made. I like the repost very much!
Yes, the colors were amazing that day!
