Critique An evening in Devon

[Tom Pinchenzo]

Couldn't resist popping out with the lovely evening light on Friday. Had the little one on my back so had to work fast before she got grouchy! Otherwise would have waited longer as the light was only getting better!

Thats some beautiful work right there

You've got some lovely light falling there, well done.

That's nice. No need for fancy techniques or processing......

I would crop it a little on the l.h.s.

Thanks Jerry

I considered cropping a bit more out. Thought about a more pano crop as the foreground is a bit dead space. But I wanted the tree in the background to be on a third...

I like it as it is (AND the light we get down here!) Played very quickly with a square crop... Tree at the front is still on a third but the background tree is only on a vertical one!

Very nice shot, with some really lovely light & colours.

I like it as it is too. Lovely rolling landscape in lovely light.

Its a lovely image, lhs seems a little dark imho though almost like a grad used which I'm sure it wasn't, just looks a little odd to my eye.

I was trying to emphasise the light coming from the top right using a sort of partial vignette. I've noticed it used quite effectively by others - I probably need to finesse it a bit!

Yep I thought that might be the case, I think the best way of doing this is to underexpose by a stop or 2 then add a gradient to lighten the rhs. It's also worth playing with the exposure/whites/highlights/shadows when you do this to get the most natural looking blend.
