I do not think that darker exposure would make a difference. This picture was apparently taken in midday (or something like that)because there is harsh light and that is the main problem in the picture. You can not correct it by simply making the exposure darker. My suggestion is that you should go back there in golden hour and take another shot. Light means everything in photography.

Stream in Suluklu Lake/Sakarya/Turkey... (11)

Unfortunately I am not so generous to give highest ratings and that is mainly because of disturbing unsharpnss and lack of details. I´d like to point your attention to F-stop you were using. By using F22 one can surely get low shutterspeed but at the same time you surely get diminishing of details and sharpness due to difraction. My suggestion is You should use neutral density filters instead of high F-stops. Thereby You can get slow shutterspeed without risk of losing...

I am not so critical. For my eyes this picture is ok (but nothing more). The foreground is as it is - that is the foreground is typical for such kind of lakes. I think the foreground should have been more dominant (that is I would like to see more of it). At present it is too reserved (modest). Really disturbing (I mean REALLY DISTURBING) are the car on the left and traffic sign. They are like malformation. The barn is too much centered and too much against...

Looking at this picture my first question is why you ever pushed the release button? What was the idea or motive you were trying to capture? In landscape photography (but in photography in general as well) the motive or idea of picture is uppermost. Without it the picture is meaningless and does not communicate with audience. That is why I simply do not understand what your picture is trying to tell me or what you were trying to tell the audience by taking a shot. Even the...

I agree with slackarse/Slack commentary. There is hard to find any conception of the picture. Additionally I find very disturbing the right side of the picture. These black things (I really do not know what they are – bridges or something else) are like anomalous objects. Sorry but I really do not like it.

Unfortunately I do not find any sharp place in this picture but you know for sure that sharpness in macrophotography is uppermost. But nevertheless your picture is notable because of different approach. A picture of a snail hiding behind the blade and at the same time heading to somewhere is different and interesting.

Thumbs up! I really like this picture. It´s like moving. There is dynamic, there is movement. Nice scene. Maybe the dark corners in the upper right and bottom left need a little lighting up but enyway it is a super capturing of nature´s beauty.

The most disturbing thing about this photo is the excessive darkness of foreground and the hill on the left. Because of obvious underexpose you have lost all the details of aforementioned parts of the picture. Therefore the only objects one can see are the sky and the green on the right but I am not sure you were planning to demonstrate clouds and green on the horizon. That’s why in my opinion your picture is not in technical terms worthy of high score. Next time try to...

I agree with Mike this picture is close to perfect. And the reason this picture is not perfect is the foreground. If you roll the foreground behind the browser of your computer, you see the picture is awakening – there is a story, lighting, emotion. But the present shot is as it is – nice but not perfect.

The moment is promising but to tell it honestly I think you should do some photoshop to make this picture perfect (or close to that). You need to bring out the emotion which hides there. Maybe you should increase contrast and work on sunrays to make them more visible. In this picture the main object is and should be the sun peeking from between the clouds and therefore you should emphasize that phenomenon.

Firstly I would like to point out that horizon is tilting a little. That is quite common but easily avoidable mistake. Secondly, for me taking the photo in portrait is incomprehensible. And thirdly, your picture is empty. I understand that your picture is about sunset but apparently you agree with me that there are millions of sunset pictures and presenting another one without some peculiarity remains weak presentation. No offence.

Alex is right about the lighting. Your picture is too dark and therefore the main object is barely seen. And maybe it is my problem but I do not understand which part of the picture is about dream or dreaming.

Ok lets get started... First your picture is too small. Secondly, composition is unsuccessful because the beetle is placed in the middle of the picture. I suggest you should read about compositions (rule of third, golden section etc). Thirdly, the main object is unsharp. In macro the sharpness and DOF are paramount. Maybe the unsharpness it is because of lens you were using. You can not take good macro shot by using 70-300 mm lens. And last, this picture is missing...

Technically (I mean exposure, WB, sharpness etc) this is a nice picture. The only thing that disturbs me a little is composition. Judging by title this picture is about falls. But at least for me the main object in the picture is the tree and its massive roots. But good effort anyway.

I agree with Thomases comments. You have focused of dragonflys wings but you should have focused on the eye. And composition is not successful because dragonfly is pressed too much against left side of the picture. Additionally I find that the bright spots on the background are too disturbing and taking too much attention. But thanks for sharing.
