Peaceful by Natalyy

Todays critique is brought to you by Natalyy.

Scores:
Overall: 3/5
Composition: 3/5
Emotion: 4/5
Innovation: 3/5

Overall: It's a very beautiful photo. I'm not entirely fond of these kinds of pictures, but that's not your fault. Still, very pretty.

Composition: I personally would have cropped it differently. The cloud at the very top is a little distracting, to me. I really like the position of the sun and the clouds surrounding it, though. And the colors are beautiful.

Emotion: Like the title implies, this photo gives off a peaceful feel. The darker clouds at the top make me feel like the peace isn't going to last long. However, the bright yellows and light blues also make me feel that the darkness can be held at bay.

Innovation: I see these kinds of photos all the time - which is part of why I'm not particularly fond of them as a whole. Anyhow, I feel that this one would have been more unique if it had been cropped differently. Still, the photo is quite beautiful, and unique in its own way - two sunsets are never the same.

About Natalyy:
Natalyy enjoys taking macro shots, but she's recently gotten into taking conceptual shots, as well. She's been on dA for two years, and, from the looks of it, she started doing photography way before then. dA says she's eighteen and from "Bosnia and Herzegovina." Her gallery is a amazing, so check it out.

Tip of the day:
Cats - we all love to take photos of them (except for those who don't). The problem with them is that they don't like to sit still most of the time - or follow the script. How can you fix this? You can't. You have to rely on luck. However, having someone distract the cat in your preferred direction helps.

  1. A very fair a true critique of you ask me.

    I would say I'm on the same page when it comes to photographs of sunset/clouds and sky in general but sadly even if there are so many photographs of just that around few of them are as good as they could be.
