    Re: The Hamlet

    It looks like it could be the cover of a fairly tale, but the whole thing looks like it's being split by that cloud. It kinda looks like you applied a gradient and forgot to mask out the tower. If you fix that you're golden.
    mostly Nikon gear

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    I do see your point. Did not notice this before. Strangely, this is exactly how the clouds looked like. I am going to have to think about how to address this ...may have to do some cloning or something ....

    Visually brilliant, very nice colour and strength in this shot. I'd have liked to see the rest of the house on the right in the shot though.
    :thumbsup: Shootme...

    Please don't edit and re-post or use my images (not that you'd want to anyway...). without my written permission. Thank you

    Beautiful scene!

    agree with shootme about the very right of the house missing from the shot

    fixing the brightness of the tower would be nice

    I think it is nice, maybe a bit to much HDRish for me. I also think a landscape shot with a little more on the left.

    Agree with N8 once again.

    As an illustration, it's otherwise just beautiful.

    The rustic little bridge in the foreground is really cool, apart from the things already mentioned great image.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Re: The Hamlet

    Lovely scene and I really like the treatment. The agree with the previous suggestions, but the cut off house seems to be the biggest offender. This almost looks like a Kincaid painting...makes me wonder if a place like this really exists! Great work.

    Re: The Hamlet

    I think this picture does not have much preventing it from being cropped more on the rule of thirds. I think it would help. The colors and textures are all very nice.
