Hey

I want to share with you a couple of photographs I'd taken a few days ago.

Can I ask you for CC, plase?

This is my opinion only so take it for what its worth. I like the moodyniss of the first image.

The second one seems off color. I might be wrong but the scene looks a little green.

The third does nothing for me. Just nothing there to draw or lead me into the scene.

The forth I think there's a little too much contrast. The background is blowout and the foreground is almost black. I like how the stream draws my eye around the scene. But I think I would like more light in the foreground. Remember your eye will first go to the brightest part of the image so it makes sense to brighten up where you want the viewers eye to start. Knowing that, now look at the last image again and tell me where your eye jumped first. A bright and busy background that adds nothing to the image really.

Maybe try playing with HDR with images like this 4th pic. Whenever I shoot with sky in the scene, I try to get some blue and clouds too. Sometimes its unavoidable to not get blowout skys but I do my best to save them.

If your post software has a gradient filter, try using it and see if you can bring up the foreground and tame the background a bit. Of course they still make gradient ND filters to fit on your lens.

I love the look of the streams, you did good with the shutter speed for the water.
