suggestions on these pix

Go to last post
I guess you were going for the Sepia color cast on these right? To me, I'd prefer the natural color of the scene or possibly just black and white but that's personal taste.

On the first picture, to me, the tree on the right is in the way and the rocks are too prominant on the left. I would have moved away from the tree and tried to get the bridge and the scene in the backround more into the shot.
 
To me the second one just screams LIGHTROOM because of the micro-contrasts. Other issues are the over-exposed shirt (may be hard to do something about in retrospect) and the tilted horizon.

Nice composition though! Would like to see it in b/w or even colours.

The first one is rather dull-contrastwise. Also, the tree is disturbing.
 
The tree is distracting for me on the first picture. My eye is constantly being drawn to that, when it should be drawn to the bridge, I feel. Perhaps if the bridge was lighter/more contrast, I would be drawn more to it.

I really enjoy the fishing line in the second picture. It does a great job of taking me from the high contrast area (the fisherman,) out through the picture, and then right back to the fisherman. Once back, I look at the fisherman, and then follow the line back out and around, again. It really "Holds the viewer."
 
i so agree true color is the best in Nature shots, but what do you do when you have really poor light? on both it was very over cast and the color was just flat at least i thought so. see here is one that i got when the sun moved out from the clouds for just a second and even here its still a little blau......

You can try boosting the saturation and warm the colors using Color Balance, if you have CS2 or CS3.

I think it looks better as a b&w pic if you don't want any color.
original



Black and White
