Incredible!
Feel free to ask me more about these photos in the webinar later this month, but here’s what comes to mind with the shots you’ve shown us here!
1. Neat composition for adding text to the image up in the sky. The blown out whites in the ice give the positive impression that the ice is sparkling. Sky feels grayish on my screen. Maybe edit to saturate it more and maybe make the highlights glow a little (by reducing Clarity a touch or something).
2. Love this shot! Well composed. Such an amazing scene!! I notice the incredible amount of ice. And the many branches on the ground contribute to the story and don’t look cluttered, almost look more like a pattern in the snow. May have tried to do what I could do to make the eye be more attracted to the end of the “tunnel”.
3. An interesting shot because of the ice again, it’s nice and noticeable. Not sure what subject takes first place. Maybe go vertical looking straight up any one of the two trees.
4. My absolute favorite! I think the best I’ve ever seen you’ve submitted! So sharp and clear and bright and contrasty all at once! I want this one as my desktop background. Great choice of aperture to get the background blurry and the light kinda sparkling like that.
5. Great same concept as the previous shot but not as bright. Neat composition, different than most branch pictures where the arch normally bows upward instead of downward. Background feels “blank” and not as good contrast against the subject like #4.
Really, REALLY impressed with your shots, @bennett-family. Great work!
