Hi Sergio, I like the composition here a lot. Well spotted and used rock in the FG. Overall I find the image a little dark, especially the hills. However I see that some of the sky was overexposed so I guess you were limited by that. Cheers, steve

Hello Sergio,

A lovely wild nature shot. I like the brightness and clarity of the water with the pebbles perfectly visible, contrasting with that dark, threatening sky.

Hi Sergio,
I like very much the mood of this post! The dark tones are attractive as well as the low PoV you chose for shooting. Very good the perspective and the vertical frame! What to say about the background! The sky is terrific my friend!

Best wishes,
Athanasios.

Hi Sergio,

Verry nice composition well balanced.
The sky is splendid.
The rocks in the foreground give depth for the composition.

Cheers.

Hello Sergio..

sure the long fomat works well with the converging mountainside..gives a sense of natural symmetry..the shot looks very dark to me...seems you have used some form of illumination the foreground..artificial light ??

I understand the shutter speed..but the f/22 is actually bothering me..if the light conditions were dissapointing..you should have opted for a bigger aperature..maybe an f/8 to f/16 - would have given your composition enough exposure..im sure you had realized it later....

Overall..commendable.

Cheers
Sayeed.

Hi Sergio,

Nice point of view with the two diagonals of the shores and the sharpness in the water. The clouds are interesting, since I would not expect those clouds with the foreground. Nice.

Greetings,
Dennis
