Hello Gunnar,
A very nice composition with the lady being a perfect, colourful addition. The bridge seems slightly overexposed.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hello Gunnar,

This image shows the problem with getting exposure right across the wide range of values presented by this scene.

To get the central band of trees and the important red figure correctly exposed, which you have achieved here, has led to problems with the rest of the picture.

The sky is white - a common problem with digital photography, but the landing stage which plays such a prominent part in the composition is over exposed and very pale too.

Sorry to be rather negative in my critique, but perhaps a different POV, where less sky was included, and the landing stage was shown diagonally, and not so head on, and would have made for a more satisfying composition.

Regards,

Peter.

Hejsan Gunnar.
the composition is very good, the lady ine red takes you straigth in tho the image, she is nicely framed by the beautiful beachforest. I like the greenish clear watercolor and the different types of stairs and ramps out to the pebbles.
As peter says you have a minor problem with exposure, a graduated greyfilter co be a solution if you had a DSL but with the powershot I don't know. an other idea is to use RAW-format if you have. and the try to get out details.
Med vänliga hälsningar Anders Mohlin

Hej Gunnar,
Väldigt bra tänkt, men inte helt bra genomfört. Du skulle nog ha kapat bort stora delar av bilden och bara tagit med en fjärdedel och ingen himmel.
Hälsningar
Mikael
