Could I have your feedback please !

Hi,

I took this photograph on my way to work this morning at about 10am. I was actually looking at something else when this caught my eye. Taken on an Olympus X-925 around llanrwst in North Wales, close to where i am lucky to live !. I am new to this and would be grateful for your advice and comments. Do you think this photo is marketable as i would ultimatley love to see a photo of mine in print !

Sorry John but to me its very flat and nothing as a viewpoint, except a few trees and mist, have a look at this set http://www.photoradar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7735 by another of our members Alf Branch and study those, but dont let me discourage you. As they say practice, practice and more practice. Oh and welcome BTW.

There is no photo on this thread but if you go to his gallery he has only one image .

Have to agree with littlebro the image is very flat and the composition needs work to inject some interest .

Keep at it .

Mark

I had a look at it.
Was it misty when you took it?
It needs either more contrats or I would try it in B&W myself.

The shots in my thread were taken on a very still morning around sunrise and the light is the key.

I would crop the a bit off the bottom of your shot.

I hope you dont mind but I edited a version for you to give more contrast and saturation
Here it is but I will delete it if you want.
