I’m curious if you consider this a good image. I’d very much like to know your opinion whether it is or isn’t.Thanks
>>4330968It's a nice pic, but I think it is sort of generic in today's day and age.
>>4330968It's a total mess of sharp details everywhere. Nothing leads the eye.A cool picture of a cool place but not very artistic. Too much going on. It's a picture of, but not a picture about.It would be better in color, with the contrast and sharpening sliders back where they started.
>>4330968It's a good image, nice and sharp as it should be
>>4330968i personally like the long dof in this case BECAUSE it doesnt lead your eye.This way you can wander your eye around in the landscape and explore.I like the pic.
crunchy, hyper-contrast garbage
to my eye it looks too flat and too busy.
>>4330988Same. I hate the whole "lead the viewer's eye" crap. Let me explore the image.
>>4330988>>4331089Like the I-Spy of landscape photography!

here's my rough take, a sucker for the dreamier look. lel[EXIF data available. Click here to show/hide.]Camera-Specific Properties:Camera SoftwareSnapseed 2.0Image-Specific Properties:Image Created2024:07:01 10:42:49Image Width2000Image Height1600
>>4331102Looks damn niceI see what some fag youtubers say about using selective sharpening thoughLike the foliage in the middle with the lighter tones could have slightly less sharpness to "improve" the image But srsly it's not homo at all
>>4330968meh>>4330970>>4330978the duality of man>>4331102messy on the left side>>4331104that's even worse lmao
>>4330968Shitty composition is shitty Start thinking about what you want to capture and convey instead of just taking snapshotsIf you're not sure what will look good and are still learning, take shots from multiple angles and locations
>>4331137Explain how the composition is shitty. It is in my mind very good and an excellent composition. Might it be too complex for you? Try to go back and look at it. Especially if you are still learning.That shot is masterful and you’re jealous troll.

>>4330968i'm not opposed to black and white even if it just looks cool and doesn't really add much else, but here's it's totally distracting. why the fuck would you take color away in a scene like this
>>4331145Explain what sort of mastery is required to produce that image. Waiting for clouds? Finding a bend in a river? Driving/walking to a cool spot? Moving sliders around on computer?
>> >>4331174If this doesn’t enlighten you, I fear everything is dim for you. This is a very simple explanation.

>>4331176I see the bog standard landscape composition. I do not see any particular mastery.
>>4330968can't judge appropriately without exif
>>4330968I feel it should be rotated one degree to the left. It pleases my eye more.[EXIF data available. Click here to show/hide.]Camera-Specific Properties:Image-Specific Properties:Image Width1939Image Height1551Image OrientationTop, Left-HandImage Created2024:07:01 18:08:30
>>4330968It looks like an anatomical picture - taken to look for details and to be studied. It's not a 'pleasing' picture, but meant to deliver information.Color would be appropriate for this to ease compartmentalizing of groups of info - sky, foliage, water.
>>4331102significantly less gay than this one >>4331104 which is still gay even with less eyeball hurtingwhat purpose does the foreground in the b&w serve? none.
This would have been considered really good on Flickr in 2009
>>4331218It's amazing how much of a difference this makes.

>>4330968I kinda like the textures of it
>>4330968Technically a good photo, but as >>4330970 said> A cool picture of a cool place but not very artistic. Too much going on. It's a picture of, but not a picture about.A beginner's landscape formula is to have something interesting in the foreground, the midground, and the background.You have nothing in the foreground.Contrast that to >>4331555 where you have the stacked rocks in front, the large slabs and fallen tree in the middle, and those large slabs likewise draw your eyes into the background, which has nothing of interest.This ends up being why landscape photography can be hard work. Sure, you could've found a flower or interesting tree or something in that first photo to create a better foreground and an overall better picture, but it's still pretty mediocre. In a good landscape photo you're going to put in a lot of work to find something stronger, something with more to say or more to inspire. So it can take an entire day's hike to find that, or even weeks or months of exploring an area, to find one photo that's worthy of your portfolio. (Or, you could just find it already discovered and copy what hundreds of photographers have done before you. Totally legit, and a good way to practice, even if it's still your duty to continue attempting originality).>>4331555My main concern here, other than a boring and noisy background, is it's unbalanced. The rocks are pushed to the left, while it's a big empty slab to the right.Try revisiting this area early in the morning when it's foggy or something, and get a different composition. But don't stack rocks yourself, kinda a dick move.
>>4331555I'd try to frame the cairn against the green background with a lower and closer camera angle, maybe work in leading lines to it if possible. It doesn't stand out enough and the eyes wander before realizing it's there. I would then kick the cairn over.
>>4331555Very very nice, if anything you could lift the blacks just a tiny bit but eh it's at the point where it's prolly personal preference
