Description I'm wandering alone in the cold, damp. The atmosphere is changing, melancholic, interspersed with rays of sun and snowflakes.

Landmannalaugar, Iceland.

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


I love this photograph and this is probably one of the first critiques I'm writing.

I love how the deph is and the sharpness is amazing except the distortion on the right side.. but theres no distortion on the left.. Did u crop it or is your lense a bit strange ? Well, anyway, the reflections are amazing.. and the sharpness overall except on the left bottom, but its nothing that disturbs you.. maybe I would like to go wider on the left side.. if feels there's something missing there I don't know, I keep wondering what on the left side at least.. otherwise I love the center on the snowyy flower and how it meets the mountain top reflection in the water :>

I don't know which technique you use but maybe I would try to make a stitch of this to get some more.

I love the natural toning.. makes it look like a real photograph.

But the point is that all your photos are amazing, keep it up man! YOu have a lot of photos that I like more than this but I just choice this for some random reason.

Thanks for this critique and the compliments.
I'm happy to have more stars on vision and originality than in technique. The vision is way more important than technique. Ok it's blurred and distorted on the corners (I did not cropped) but what I wanted to bring with this image is a feeling, a mood and I thing you'e got it.
Some kind of enigmatic feeling maybe. You want to know what's on the left but I don't want to show you keep this feeling. And also because it's well known place photographed many times even by me

Indeed very moody, but I'd clean this shot up a bit more. Reflections shouldn't be brighter than the original scene they reflect.

I agree but I wanted to darken the sky a bit to get a more melanchic atmosphere. Thank you for the commment.

The coloring makes it look peaceful but cold and lonely. Β Its soft but chilling at the same time.
