    Default The Day Time Stopped

    Took this yesterday morning. Used a 3 & a 4 stop ND grad filters to shoot. Unfortunately, due to the filters the top of the closer tree is darker than I would like. I made some adjustments in post to try and lighten it up, but not sure it works.

    Went back today to try again with the intent of hitting the tree with a little flash, but the sunrise was quite gloomy and the camera didn't even come out of the bag.

    I welcome any and all comments, positive or critical.

    Hi AJ, I like your basic comp. In the future please post your shooting specs so we can better analyze what you did.
    The stump on the left is a strong foreground and also acts as a leading line out to the other brush pile. The slow SS has caused a softening of the water which is pleasing.
    Finally the sky has a nice pinkish color along with some interest in the clouds. Nice one!

    Hey AJ,
    Very cool ! Dave is right on with his assesment on the FG tree acting as a leading line. I think your flash idea is a good one......but this works as presented also. Nice to have a location you can re-visit to see what you can come up with on other days.

    I love the pink tones in the water and sky and the smoothness of the water.

    I agree with Dave and Roman. I also like the transition of cool tones on left to warm tones on right. A well seen image and composition.

    I like the overall composition and agree with the above critiques. I would just remove the cyan abberation on the left of the stump :)
