Given your desription I got curious and watched the previous picture. The difference between both images is not as big as I thought, even though I have to admit that this one is an improval. Good work from you...
Very intresting scene...the water and the trees are clear and compliment each other very well. Wonderful depth of field as well.That alone makes this picture very nice in my opinion. But I'm wondering if the yellow is maybe too much contrast in the picture...but whether it is or not, I like this alot. Great job, and thanks for submitting.
Very cool image. The way the bottom starts out with the yellow color really turns this picture into an interesting poin of view. The capture of the seagul is very cool, and the clearity is nice, great job!
Great scenery, nice composition!
One tip; just by looking at the thumbails in your gallery I can see that the contrast in most photo's is a bit hard. Your work may benefit from lowering the contrast setting in your camera. Youl will find that the colors will also become more natural as a side effect. Will you give it a try? For your info, I always have the contrast set to a minimum in my photo's. I readjust it on the PC if I need to...
I like the composition with the yellow moss in foreground.
Unfortunately, the depth of field is too tiny and the foreground is out of focus. For a larger DoF, you should set your cam on "Aperture priority" and set it manually on F/8 or F/11. The camera will automatically decrease the shutter speed for a good lightning :-)
