Critique Welcomed We Never Look Up Any More...

...and one from my "other" lens, the Mir 37mm....

Nice image again Dougie. Love a big sky and the detail of the trees in the foreground are a good contrast to the further fields and hills. Like the size it is posted at as well.

 

[Douglas McMann]

Cheers....I'm looking for info re. posting sizes....but can't see anything...what are the rules...?

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

No idea on rules as to the size of posting. My own usual size is 1500 longest here, or 1250. Depends how gernerous I am feelling if someone wishes to download it that is when I fantasise that they may be of any value

I think it's important not to go too big so as people can take in the image in one 'hit' without having to scroll around the image, a picture's impact is lost in this way, to a certain extent.

As for the image my eye is left to wander around the scene without it having a focal point...It's good to see an old russian lens still in use like this. Is it the 1B? If so, that is a very good lens...

 

[Douglas McMann]

Thanks Paul...yes it is the 1B...VERY prone to flare with its bulbous front element, but a cracker if "hooded"...

We need to look up in this image Dougie because there is a lot going on in the sky. It is a very busy landscape below with all those fields and hedgerows etc., lots for the eye to take in. I see what Paul is saying regarding a focal point but personally I don't mind too much; I often find this to be the case with landscape photography generally. In this case, for me the focal point is the whole picture and I enjoy what I see.

Cracker. Print big, and stand back in amazement.

I have to say that I find landscapes much to my liking when it is in colour. Here on the contrary I have to give it a second thought. Lovely image I'd say.

Many thanks Ivar...
