Lot's of gloomy Heart of Darkness mood in this image. I really like the muted, near-monochrome colours. The minimalist composition serves well in simply conveying the atmosphere and the light. Technically flawless (well exposed, lots of detail in the dark areas) and an interesting crop. Great work in my book!

Best,
Mikkel

Beautiful light and sepia effects. The cloud, the tree, and the reflection are all the important components of this wonderful picture. Well done. Sothy

Hi Ziaul,

you have a nice gallery, i will comment on this photo but actually there is something in all your photos that i like.

upon first viewing of this photo i felt like something was missing; most probably a little row boat anchored off the bank on the bottom left. However, after a few moments it felt fine without - I think the boat might even hamper the dreamy feel of the sky reflection in the water.

Perhaps the only reason i feel it would be improved by something like a boat in the foreground is because the branches sticking out of the water are compositionally perfect but they then serve to distract me to that area a bit. But once my eye is dragged to the bottom left corner then there is nothing to keep it there, just the branch. So in that respect a little row boat would make it more interesting I think.

I hope that makes sense?
