in general, i’m not into misty water…so ignoring that:
– i like the composition (trees forming a tunnel over the stream)
– i think the bright left side and dark right side is interesting, but i think the left could be taken down a level of 2 (it distracts the eye from the rest of the image)
– what time of year was this taken? Seems not all the leaves are out, so early spring? May be a lot more vivid and dramatic with heavier leaf cover on the trees in the background (or even better, a completely winter shot – bare tree and a b&w shot)
Thank you so much for the critique- really appreciate it. :) Its the best way to learn.
You are spot on re: early spring- and thank you for the suggestions to improve, I’ll certainly give them a shot- the scene def. has further potential as you describe.
