Thumb-up Thumb-up    from foamx/Lawrence (1,287) Send mail to this user on July 9, 2006 10:34:24 AM CDT (2) Early critique

this is a great scene. the image could be improved by some additional dodging and burning. Perhaps it's my powerbook display but the whole thing seems a bit flat. Some dodging of the lighter toned water in the mid foreground would make the shoreline seems so much more imposing.

Hi Max...Assuming this is from your trip to the Faroes? Like the hanging cloud cover (though I may have panicked a bit if landing to shoot the birds :) Tones are good and composition is fine. Reminds me of my great regret at not photographing some of the islands on my recent trip...should have done that. I expect this image means a lot to you. Best, Brat.

It was kind of magical walking around in the fog and suddently having small moments of clear sky and sun, and then again a few steps later all white and only the sound of birds. Love the place. ;o)-max-

The motif is really good and the monochrome style fits well. Only thing I would have changed is the border - I think a small 1pt-black line would have been better in this case - the large white area around is good as it is.

I use a standart frame for 95% of my images, it is easier that way, but you may be right a hairline or no border might have been better. Cheers Christoph ;o)-max-
