Very nice and desolate! This would also be good with some more clouds to balance the FG compositional elements.

One of those times you wish for a better sky! I do like the scene, the light reflected onto the trees from the water, and the "desolate" look as Jerry mentioned.

While it has depth, it appears flat as the contrast is lacking. Just to the right of the reflections there is a small piece of something on the edge of the frame, I would remove it. I also think it needs a tiny tiny CW; if you put a line across the tide lines the right side is a "nit" higher.

Thanks Jay - I did do some CW rotation, may needs some more.

What an interesting location. I don't mind the clear blue sky in this. I think if I were going to try to improve this photo, I would crop it from the bottom between the two logs, nearer to the lower one so you retain some reflection, but remove the distracting bits of stuff in the water, maybe pump up the blue in the sky a little bit. Also, there's a couple dust specs in the sky. Or maybe they're very far off birds or tiny bits of black cloud, but they look like dust to me, so I'd clone them out. Jay is spot on about the trees all seeming a little flat. It doesn't ruin it, but if you could pump up the contrast a bit, maybe just a little black enhancement in LR would do it.

Sharp with a good exposure and nice light but for me the compositional elements are lacking and the absence of a dramatic sky compounds the problem....

Hi Tom, this location is certainly worth exploring further when the conditions are a little more favorable. You are on the right track with this one. I would prefer to see a comp where the tree branches do not merge with one another. Look forward to more of your landscapes.

Thanks for taking the time Robert - photoshop is my biggest area of challenge in my photography. I like what you have done and the pano crop works well.

Robert the RP is great and your tutorials as always are wonderful. Have you done a tutorial on the use of channels? I use layers a lot and rarely venture into channels. Cheers, Jay
