Glade Creek Painting

Hey Chet, I like the abstract quality of this. If it were mine I think I would crop the image almost in half, in my opinion, the bottom half of the image holds all the interest and would stand stronger if the top was not there. Love the colors and shapes on the bottom.

Very nice colors and shapes Chet. I like the image as presented, but I can definitely see the square comp that Nick suggested. I'd be interested to know what the technical specs are for this image, Camera/Lens and exposure info (ISO, shutter speed, aperture). Thanks! Scott

Nice!!!

Very cool abstract Chet! Love the vibrant colors.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate your suggestions. Scot this is an older image and I don't have the info you requested. Sorry. I only know I was using fuji film and Canon Equipment. For several years I sold my work on the arts and crafts show circuit and this image was well received. Chet

Lovely abstract with the bright orange up front and the swirling dark blues carrying into the distance. I'd be tempted to burn in the light blue at the bottom of the frame (or crop half of it).

I can see the brush strokes! Fantastic colors...

Pretty colors and a nice motion blur. I agree with the suggested crop as the bottom half is where all the interest is. Nice job

Chet,

Wonderful and certainly color natural abstract. The contrast is pretty heavy, but I think it works to accentuate the form of the "waves" and impact. The saturation may be slightly strong for my taste, but totally understand this is an abstract and this is well within personal choice and interpretation.

The only suggestion I have would be very slight crops from left and right to remove the little jagged edges of rock showing. Not all of the big rock on the left, just up to where the water is trying to merge with the frame. There's also a couple of dust spots as well as the slide mount is not cropped all the way out in the UL edge.

Oh, the large version works well as the texture of the film grain comes through and I think adds a nice element. Overall, this is a great nature abstract.

Personally, id crop out the left side rock entirely, since i think this is all about the texture/color and would be pure abstract if you could get rid of the rocks. Then i'd rotate 90 degrees cause it looks cooler as a horizontal rather than vertical pano. Nice!

I think the colors here are super cool. I do wish that you could do without the top and some of the bottom, as it would really emphasize the colors and shapes.

Masterful abstract of water motion and reflected light/color. For total abstraction I'd suggest taking off the bottom right up to where the green begins. Ooooh, just fabulous!

I would also crop in a little bit, the main focal point is the abstract colors right? If so then I would definitely crop in and capitalize on that area. The upper right where you see the moss or whatever that little area is - is distracting and takes away from the powerful abstract colorful punch this image has to offer. I love the coloring.
