Perhaps Vertical shot. Than maybe the horizon being in the center would not so much of an issue to a judge.


I only mentioned the assumed judge's response because that is the type of comments we get often. Doesn't mean I'm inclined to change my photo because of it. Linda's idea is intriguing; but I don't think I'm going to go with a vertical on this one. Thanks for the input.

If I was anticipating that kind of response from a judge, I wouldn't enter it. It has been decades since I entered club competitions or other, and can't imagine having to think about what they like, what "rules" they think are important and so forth.

The colors and graceful tree silhouette are breathtaking. The aspect does feel a little off for me, though. Not the issue you mention, but the lack of balance. I'd love to see a small group of birds in distance on the left or a more 16:9 aspect (more real estate on the left). I'd have no issue with creating that, but I know that is not what this thread is about

That's interesting. In the original, there was more space on the left; but it was the same as you see and I thought it was too much negative space. That is why I went with a more square aspect. I'll go back and look at some other cropping ideas. Thanks for the valuable input.

I'm an iconoclast by nature and training so you're asking the wrong person. Beautiful shot, don't change a thing.


Iconoclast are some of my favorite people.....although I don't trust many of them. lol Thanks for the input. Glad you liked the photo.

I actually didn't use a glass ball. I created the effect in pp. I added the hand from another image.


That's interesting. Very cool.

Thanks, Erich. Perhaps it poses the question of whether it is the girl looking out the window or the viewer who sees the moon melting with her so calm as it may be a scene from the psychedelic days of the '60s.


Good point. I'll gov with George Carlin's suggestion that: "If you remember the sixties, you weren't really there".

I like the photo as is (though I would level the horizon).
The tree And it’s reflection are the subject and they work well right where they are.


Thanks for the input. Horizon has been fixed.

No. Rules like that are meant to be broken for a purpose. And this image is the purpose! The horizon, however, must be straight!


Glad you liked the photo. I've straightened it. Thanks.

Eric most of the judging in the area were stuck on rules and if a photograph didn’t fit in the rules it didn’t do well I’d enter it nice image Eric I would however make the horizon straight it’s lower on the left side


I agree with your assessment of judging; and I must say, I kind of understand their point. Horizons are always a problem with me. You are right, the damned thing is all wonky!!! I'll fix it. Thanks.

So, I guess I'll go ahead and be a scofflaw. Sounds like fun.

The image, color duotone, and effect are eye-compelling. Vanishing point construction, and even when covering the right half of the photo with my hand...

The look up of plastic filter effect I found these:

https://indieground.net/product/free-plastic-textures/
https://psfiles.com/120-plastic-wrap-textures/
https://resourceboy.com/photoshop-brushes/plastic-wrap-brushes/


Interesting links; but I was using the plastic in PS just to give a bit of shine to the highlights. I did not want heavy plastic texture so I toned the filter down quite a bit with the provided sliders.
