Critiques


:iconislamaia:
This is simply beautiful, you can't really do much to critique it other than think the slight bulbous cloud formation to the right should be more of a reflection of the left - then you realise the shot is a capture of nature and the elements at one perfect inspirational moment - and it can't be perfect. But it is in totality.

I love the colour contrast, the depth of the blue sky muted in the centre and sides by the unusal spread of the cloud, the brilliant sharp lush green and yellow streaks of the grass ... then that sudden commanding presence of gnarled barren branches clawing itself heavenwards in solitary defiance. Inspirational! :)

Very interesting angle on this. Something I personally would probably not have done but it works very well. The colors work very well together.. the bright green of the forground contrasts nicely with the blue of the sky. The clouds give the perfect lead in lines every image "should" have. Despite the tree not being on the thirds the offcentered composition is kinder on the eye in comparison to setting the tree right bang in the middle of the image. The slight softness in the grass brings out the more harder texture of the tree and creates a very balanced image. xx

hmm, with this title, the tree is too bright and saturated, plus i think there is too much representing life: bright sky in addition to wheat (well this definitely should look so, but i`m not sure about the sky symbolism)

anyhow good work - made me to write and think alot :-P

Wonderful photo, really great contrast and colours. I love how there is the barley?? in the foreground which cuts into that vivid blue sky and then how you have taken the photo with the tree just off centre. I could write a million more things I love about this photo!!!

Stunning. I love those wind feathers. I'm hunting the down myself :P
