Urban Nightmare Top C 25.5 HM DP Doug Doede Creative Master
Urban Nightmare Top C 25.5 HM DP Doug Doede Creative Master
J1 Excellent creativity. Suggest brightening (dodging) the blues for greater visual impact.
A Selective Penetrating Gaze 23 Geoff Dunn Creative Master
A Selective Penetrating Gaze 23 Geoff Dunn Creative Master
J3 Great deal, sharp, exposure all handled well. Tones and limited colour works well in this image. The mirror image and repetition adds interest to the image. The maker might try this image again without the small repeat in the centre, it attracts the eye and takes away from the penetrating gaze of the other 4.
An Alien Legonaut 23 Geoff Dunn Creative Master
An Alien Legonaut 23 Geoff Dunn Creative Master
J2 This image has good impact. The background really helps the image stand out and give it an almost 3D effect
Trumpet 8 24 HM BPP Chris Sparks Creative Bronze
Trumpet 8 24 HM BPP Chris Sparks Creative Bronze
J1 Wonderful concept. Suggest boosting saturation and contrast for greater impact. Alternatively this technique with a dark background would really pop.
Skyline in a Cup 24.5 DP Don Poulton Creative Master
Skyline in a Cup 24.5 DP Don Poulton Creative Master
J1 Suggest increasing contrast for better range of values. J3 Could use a contact shadow where the bottom of cup meets the surface it is sitting on as it appears to be floating.
Visions 20 Jay Brownlee Creative Bronze
Visions 20 Jay Brownlee Creative Bronze
J3 Interesting concept. Image is quite dark other than the pictures on the screens, having the 2 screens on sides in colour makes them stand out better. The maker might consider reframing to remove some of the top of the trees above the figures.
Into The Abyss 23 SPP Jon Dun Creative Silver
Into The Abyss 23 SPP Jon Dun Creative Silver
J1 Nice concept with interesting subject matter. Selection of colour works well. Suggest the balance might be improved a bit by adding some dark canvas to the top and crop a bit off the bottom.
Mute Swan Pair 21 Loretta Monteleone Nature Silver
Mute Swan Pair 21 Loretta Monteleone Nature Silver
J2 There is some great detail in the birds, mostly the feathers are well handled. There is some overexposure on the one neck.
If the photographer had waited for the heads to be more in the sunlight it would have added a lot more to the overall impact
Mute Swan Pair Close to Shore 21 Loretta Monteleone Nature Silver
Mute Swan Pair Close to Shore 21 Loretta Monteleone Nature Silver
J3 Very difficult to capture white swans in bright sunlight. The image is sharp throughout, with lots of detail as to the environment. Some area of the swans you can see detail in the feathers while other areas are too bright and blown out with no detail in the tail of the 1 swan and some areas on the wings and backs.
Night Heron Catches Fish and Reflection 26 TC DP Geoff Dunn Nature Master
Night Heron Catches Fish and Reflection 26 TC DP Geoff Dunn Nature Master
J3 Shows the environment the bird lives and sustains its life. The image is technically well done. the composition is good, and the image tells a story.
Mute Swan 21 Loretta Monteleone Nature Silver
Mute Swan 21 Loretta Monteleone Nature Silver
J1 Nice posture of swan. Exposure very good however the focus is less than sharp. Maker should try placing the subject off center a bit and revisit if cropping off a bit of the bottom and part of the reflection. Suggest zooming in a touch and offsetting the subject to make a more interesting composition and increase the impact factor.
White-Breasted Nuthatch RBG 25 TC BPP Rod Shantz Nature Bronze
White-Breasted Nuthatch RBG 25 TC BPP Rod Shantz Nature Bronze
J3 Lovely shot of this Nuthatch. the branch in the background is bothersome but not enough to loose marks.
Dandelion 22.5 Doug Doede Nature Master
Dandelion 22.5 Doug Doede Nature Master
J1 Increased contrast will give more punch/impact.
Green-Throated Carib Antigua 21 BPP Rod Shantz Nature Bronze
Green-Throated Carib Antigua 21 BPP Rod Shantz Nature Bronze
J2 Good capture of the action.

Unfortunately the feathers on the bird are pixelated and as a result there is lack of definition.
The stem on the right hand side is somewhat distracting
Cardinal Seen better times 22 Victor Turczynski Nature Master
Cardinal Seen better times 22 Victor Turczynski Nature Master
J3 Nice portrait of this melting Cardinal. Well placed with the branches creating a frame. Cardinals body and head are sharp with good detail and good contrast in the image. A little more DOF would have brought the tail feathers in focus and sharp.
Moose can#039;t  lick the tick 23 Greg Alderson Nature Master
Moose can#039;t lick the tick 23 Greg Alderson Nature Master
J2 Great impact, great nature story. The depth of field has been really well handled
Ring Billed Gull Bath time 23.5 Victor Turczynski Nature Master
Ring Billed Gull Bath time 23.5 Victor Turczynski Nature Master
J1 Good action capture with sharp focus and choice of shutter speed. Decent story factor. Center placement composition appropriate. Image is oversaturated.
Male House Finch 24 HM SPP Jon Dun Nature Silver
Male House Finch 24 HM SPP Jon Dun Nature Silver
J1 Image appears to have a yellow cast.
Northern Parula 22 Andy Langs Nature Gold
Northern Parula 22 Andy Langs Nature Gold
J3 Subject is sharp with good detail throughout. Good capture in the bird#039;s environment. It is unfortunate that the dandelion buds are right behind the head and appear to be growing out of the birds head. Good choice of DOF for the image.
Chipmunk peering out of his snowy log home 25 DP Geoffrey Skirrow Nature Master
Chipmunk peering out of his snowy log home 25 DP Geoffrey Skirrow Nature Master
J3 Great detail in the snow, log home and chipmunk. Well Done. The snow and the log home make a great frame around the chipmunk.
Peregrine falcon takes down Blue Jay Top N 29 TC DP Greg Alderson Nature Master
Peregrine falcon takes down Blue Jay Top N 29 TC DP Greg Alderson Nature Master
J1 Excellent clarity, exposure and composition. The image has a very strong story of life and survival. Well done.
Female Mallard Preening 24 HM SPP Jon Dun Nature Silver
Female Mallard Preening 24 HM SPP Jon Dun Nature Silver
J1 Nice sharp capture with good exposure and preening story. It would be nice if a bit more background was included i.e. seems too closely cropped. Image is oversaturated.
American Rubyspot 25.5 HM DP David Evans Nature Master
American Rubyspot 25.5 HM DP David Evans Nature Master
J1 This image has very good exposure and clarity however the composition with the slim subject inline with the slim plant did not have a great impact value. The subject did not stand out well enough to garner a top score. J3 DOF handled well, insect is sharp and placing on an oblique angle adds interest to the image. Technical, compositional elements, and Impact are all well done in this image.
Wood Stork - 5 22 Terry Ross-Poulton Nature Master
Wood Stork - 5 22 Terry Ross-Poulton Nature Master
J3 Good placement of the subject in the image, head and eye area is sharp. Subject taken in harsh light and there are areas on the back that a blown out with not detail.
Crow harassing bald eagle 21 Jim Maguire Nature Master
Crow harassing bald eagle 21 Jim Maguire Nature Master
J2 A great nature story. The Bald Eagle is well exposed.
Unfortunately the branches in front of the action is highly distracting
Sandhill Cranes 23 Kathryn Martin Nature Master
Sandhill Cranes 23 Kathryn Martin Nature Master
J2 Try cropping the top and some of the bottom off - may get a lot more impact
Mallard 20.5 Laura Nelson Nature Silver
Mallard 20.5 Laura Nelson Nature Silver
J2 Great detail on the bird#039;s feathers, and good exposure
The position of the bird on the right side of the frame leaves some negative space on the left. Try centering the bird to see if eliminating the negative space improves the composition
Canada Goose 4 20.5 Jim Orcheson Nature Bronze
Canada Goose 4 20.5 Jim Orcheson Nature Bronze
J3 Good action capture in harsh lighting conditions evident by the shadows on the goose body. Maker has done well to not overexpose the white areas on the goose. The light area on the neck and upper chest are a bit bright and if allowed burning a bit to darken would help here. The subject is sharp other than the wing tips which is fine. A wee bit more room to the right side of the goose would make it feel less cramped for space.
Killdeer 23 Judy Boufford Nature Master
Killdeer 23 Judy Boufford Nature Master
J1 Try bumping up the saturation.
White-crested helmet shrike with insect 21.5 Jim Maguire Nature Master
White-crested helmet shrike with insect 21.5 Jim Maguire Nature Master
J3 The subject is well captured, detail, sharpness all good. A little more DOF and the entire insect would be sharp. The subject appear slightly under exposed and the black area on the shoulders and back has no detail. It is unfortunate that the branch runs across right behind the subjects head and the leaf above his head is a distraction, but this is what happens in a birds natural environment.
Tree Sparrow 21.5 BPP Jim Orcheson Nature Bronze
Tree Sparrow 21.5 BPP Jim Orcheson Nature Bronze
J3 Sparrow is has been captured well and technical aspects all handled well. The muted tones in the background help to make the sparrow stand out in the image. In the category description is does not indicate if dodging and burning are allowed, if so the maker might consider burning the brand midway up on right to tone down the yellowish colour.
Painted Bunting 23 GPP Herb McClelland Nature Gold
Painted Bunting 23 GPP Herb McClelland Nature Gold
J3 Great action capture, colours are vibrant and appear natural. Feathers on the left wing are not as sharp as those on the right. Image has impact.
Western Honeybee on Canada Thistle 23.5 Kathryn Martin Nature Master
Western Honeybee on Canada Thistle 23.5 Kathryn Martin Nature Master
J3 Technical aspects have been handled very well in this image. The subject is the honey bee on the thistle, therefore all the extra thistle on the left is really not necessary. Cropping from the left to the space between the clump of thistle and the one the honey bee is on would make the subject more prominent in the image.
life imitating art imitating 20.5 Jay Brownlee Pictorial Bronze
life imitating art imitating 20.5 Jay Brownlee Pictorial Bronze
J2 Black and white makes a lot of sense for this image, and is well handled here.
The question is what is this image all about? The two people on the left and right are very dominant, and the woman in front of the painting, along with the painting are also dominant. The two on the side are not entirely in focus - so then become a distraction from the center - which is where I feel the real story is.
Daughter#039;s love 24 DP Greg Alderson Pictorial Master
Daughter#039;s love 24 DP Greg Alderson Pictorial Master
J2 Great concept and the black and white is well handled. The effect is appropriate for the subject.

The mother#039;s face - as presented there is more emphasis on her cheek than on the front of her face - try to tone tht down a bit and bring out her face a bit more to see if that adds impact
40 years of paint sticks 21 Doug Doede Pictorial Master
40 years of paint sticks 21 Doug Doede Pictorial Master
J1 Suggest increasing brightness and saturation.
Red-tailed hawk closeup 25 DP Jim Maguire Pictorial Master
Red-tailed hawk closeup 25 DP Jim Maguire Pictorial Master
J1 Would have been better suited to Nature
Sunflower 23.5 SPP Karen Blunt Pictorial Silver
Sunflower 23.5 SPP Karen Blunt Pictorial Silver
J3 A little more light on the flower petals or a bit darker toned background to make the petals stand out more would improve the image.
Beach Spider lily Antigua 19.5 Rod Shantz Pictorial Bronze
Beach Spider lily Antigua 19.5 Rod Shantz Pictorial Bronze
J1 An interesting but challenging subject with decent composition and exposure. The choice of lens and aperture has resulted in a very shallow DOF that leaves some elements of the main and background bloom in focus while other elements are out of focus. This confuses the observer about the detail of the main bloom. A greater depth of field and absence of another background bloom would help capture the detail of this species.
Coal Market 20 Karen Blunt Pictorial Silver
Coal Market 20 Karen Blunt Pictorial Silver
J3 Maker has created an implied triangle with the placement of the 3 people in the image. Image appears flat. There are a lot of distracting elements in the image space. There appears to be a softness were the people are in the central area of the image. The extreme left were the sacks of coal and the bananas are is the sharpest part of the image or taking from a slightly different position. Bananas are a distraction might consider removing in post processing.
Empty Chairs 24 GPP John King Pictorial Gold
Empty Chairs 24 GPP John King Pictorial Gold
J1 Interesting subject matter with strong impact Exposure and sharpness good. Great separation of subject from background. Perhaps a touch too tightly cropped and oversaturated however changing these aspects could reduce the impact factor. Choice of matting and framing of a print could enhance the appeal further.
Detailed Delicacy 23 GPP John King Pictorial Gold
Detailed Delicacy 23 GPP John King Pictorial Gold
J3 Beautifully shot image of this Iris, other than there appears to be a thin green line around the edge of the Iris petals, which looks like a halo.
Snowy Fence 20 Francesco Berri Pictorial Bronze
Snowy Fence 20 Francesco Berri Pictorial Bronze
J3 Nice leading line and repetition in the fence. The trademarks in the snow mimic the line of the fence. It would be stronger if the leading line lead to someplace. Areas of snow on the fence are blown out, can be difficult to get the correct exposure for snow on a sunny day.
Commemorative Coin 23.5 HM BPP Jim Orcheson Pictorial Bronze
Commemorative Coin 23.5 HM BPP Jim Orcheson Pictorial Bronze
J2 Amazing lighting - really well handled!
Brings our all the minute detail
Foggy Day at Spencer Smith 21.5 BPP Chris Sparks Pictorial Bronze
Foggy Day at Spencer Smith 21.5 BPP Chris Sparks Pictorial Bronze
J2 The mood is captured well, with good lighting.

The white lines is a strong lead in up to the scene. Having said that, try cropping up to the two arrows - this then leaves only the essence of the scene in the image - this may be more powerful?

The two people are merged - probably better to to try to get them when they are separated.
Cycling on University Ave 19.5 Chris Sparks Pictorial Bronze
Cycling on University Ave 19.5 Chris Sparks Pictorial Bronze
J1 Good composition and range of values. This is a good experiment in the creative use of a slower shutter speed. The main subject however is all blurred and works against a higher impact image..
Painting the Bridge to Belleville 21.5 BPP Chris Sparks Pictorial Bronze
Painting the Bridge to Belleville 21.5 BPP Chris Sparks Pictorial Bronze
J3 Image is sharp, exposed well in harsh lighting conditions and appropriate DOF was chosen by the maker. Leaves one with feeling of abandoned. There are several distractions in the image the white boats in the background - toning down in post processing would have helped, vegetation poking in at edges the frame. If it were possible to take from a different angle to eliminate would improve the image.
Rock 21.5 Mary Gilmour Pictorial Master
Rock 21.5 Mary Gilmour Pictorial Master
J2 An interesting composition, with good depth of field.
Is the rock too dominant?
The composition may be a lot more dynamic if the other rocks were not in a straight line behind the dominant one.
Sunflowers and Gourd 23 Mary Gilmour Pictorial Master
Sunflowers and Gourd 23 Mary Gilmour Pictorial Master
J1 The maker had a good concept on composing this image however the image overall is a bit dark, it is soft in focus and there are some significant grainy portions. The maker may be able to recover some sharpness, impact and reduce the graininess through reprocessing. J3 Colours work well in this image; it is an artistic style image, the colour shafts radiating form the sunflowers adds interest and drama to the image. Yes there is what appears to be noise but adds to the texture in the image. The graphic element of the circle is repeated throughout the image.
Winter haze 01 19.5 Francesco Berri Pictorial Bronze
Winter haze 01 19.5 Francesco Berri Pictorial Bronze
J1 Decent composition, exposure and sharpness given title. Images with haze can be effective in establishing an effective mood factor but it is not working strongly in this image..
Helleborine 21 Mary Gilmour Pictorial Master
Helleborine 21 Mary Gilmour Pictorial Master
J1 Good composition and exposure. The lense choice has resulted in a very shallow DOF leaving some of the subject out of focus. Increasing the saturation would increase the impact.
Sunflower Vibrance 25.5 HM GPP John King Pictorial Gold
Sunflower Vibrance 25.5 HM GPP John King Pictorial Gold
J3 Nice DOF employed, technical aspects all handled well. Maker might consider trying this without the bud and stem below the leaf on right, this would balance the image better and eliminate the viewers being distracted by it.
Winter Haze 02 20.5 Francesco Berri Pictorial Bronze
Winter Haze 02 20.5 Francesco Berri Pictorial Bronze
J2 Good exposure and great lighting.
The lighting on the trees on the right of the image is delightful
The road provides a good lead in
However, once at the end of the road, there is not a lot of interest to keep one#039;s eye there.
Sassy Scarlet Macaw 20.5 Harish Bhaskar Pictorial Silver
Sassy Scarlet Macaw 20.5 Harish Bhaskar Pictorial Silver
J2 The close up view along with the red gives the image a lot of impact, and the background at the top is well handled
A Colourful Grimsby Painted Cottage 21.5 Geoff Dunn Pictorial Master
A Colourful Grimsby Painted Cottage 21.5 Geoff Dunn Pictorial Master
J1 Interesting and fun subject with good exposure and decent clarity. If conditions permitted it would have been nice to see a bit more background as the subject feels to be too tightly cropped. If the sun had been more to the back of the maker, some of the shadows on the lower left could have been eliminated. Try reprocessing to brighten the shadows a bit.
St Elizabeth#039;s Church Nuremberg 23 Victor Turczynski Pictorial Master
St Elizabeth#039;s Church Nuremberg 23 Victor Turczynski Pictorial Master
J2 Overall the exposure is well handled. However, try dodging the tree in the middle to bring some of the detail out - should improve the impact substantially
Cathedral  20 Laura Nelson Pictorial Silver
Cathedral 20 Laura Nelson Pictorial Silver
J1 Decent composition DOF and choice of vantage location. The image appears a bit overexposed. Suggest sharpening a bit then darkening a bit while increasing the contrast to obtain a greater range of values. If this is not enough consider selectively burning (darkening) to bring out some more detail in the stonework.
Miss Jane 24.5 DP Bertin Francoeur Pictorial Master
Miss Jane 24.5 DP Bertin Francoeur Pictorial Master
J2 Tighter crop may give more impact
Newborn Zoey in bowl 25.5 HM GPP Valerie Goodfellow Pictorial Gold
Newborn Zoey in bowl 25.5 HM GPP Valerie Goodfellow Pictorial Gold
J3 Lovely portrait of this baby. Technical aspects all well done. Good choice of colours which all work very well to create a quiet peaceful feel. Framing feels a little tight at the bottom of the image.
Sleeping Beauty 21.5 Valerie Goodfellow Pictorial Gold
Sleeping Beauty 21.5 Valerie Goodfellow Pictorial Gold
J2 A very cute image - the woolen strings going toward the bottom left add to the overall composition - perhaps a bit too central
If the white sheet is made more white, will it help the image?
Basilica of Christ The King 21 Laura Nelson Pictorial Silver
Basilica of Christ The King 21 Laura Nelson Pictorial Silver
J3 Exposure, detail, tones and colours all good. Maker might try this again with a lens that affords a wider angle so they can capture the left side of the building and not have it cut off. With the lines of the building drawing the eye up having something of interest in the sky would make the image more interesting eg: clouds streaking by using a longer shutter speed. Leaving more room on the sides would also allow for perspective correction in post processing.
Cheeky girl 22.5 Valerie Goodfellow Pictorial Gold
Cheeky girl 22.5 Valerie Goodfellow Pictorial Gold
J1 Very nice composition of a compelling subject. Although the child#039;s face is in decent focus, the sharp detail in the material below and fluffy blanket to the left compete for attention. Brightening the subject and increasing the saturation along with softening/blurring the above mentioned sharp areas will bring more attention to the sweet face.
San Juan Puerto Rico 22 SPP Harish Bhaskar Pictorial Silver
San Juan Puerto Rico 22 SPP Harish Bhaskar Pictorial Silver
J1 Good composition and use of blue hour lighting. The image however has been overexposed and bright areas have been blown out. The image is tilted a bit to the left. The lights reflected on the water appear to be too bright. Try darkening the image overall to hopefully recover some detail in the overblown areas then reassess the resultant brightness of the reflected lights.
Bald Eagle Dance 23.5 GPP Andy Langs Pictorial Gold
Bald Eagle Dance 23.5 GPP Andy Langs Pictorial Gold
J1 Nice action shot that is reasonably clear. Good DOF. It is not clear why this was not entered in Nature. The composition is quite decent but might be a touch more interesting if the subject was a touch furter to the left. The subject could pop a bit more with some additional sharpening an minor contrast boost.
What are you looking at 22.5 Andy Langs Pictorial Gold
What are you looking at 22.5 Andy Langs Pictorial Gold
J2 A great, interesting angle. The negative space on the top and left is hugely effective.

Try cropping some from the right, and from the bottom up to almost the tip of the out of focus tail - this will make the negative space more prominent - and should add significantly to the overall impact (by cutting out the orange spots on the right)
Watching from above 24.5 HM GPP Andy Langs Pictorial Gold
Watching from above 24.5 HM GPP Andy Langs Pictorial Gold
J2 Very dramatic - huge impact with great lighting on the bird
Perhaps crop slightly from the right to see if it adds to the composition
Waiting For Summer 19.5 James Hamilton Pictorial Gold
Waiting For Summer 19.5 James Hamilton Pictorial Gold
J1 Interesting subject taken from a good angle. The image is a bit soft and overexposed. The detail in the weathered wood with mould has been lost and would add to this image if it could be recovered by reprocessing.
Port Rowan Boathouses 21.5 James Hamilton Pictorial Gold
Port Rowan Boathouses 21.5 James Hamilton Pictorial Gold
J3 Nice angle the maker chose for the boat houses. The muted colours work well. Artistic effect applied works well on the boat houses but not as well on the sky. Moving your position if possible when shooting to eliminate the light tower would help the image. The light tower draws the eye from the boat houses and could have been removed in post processing.
Longpoint Sandhill Cranes 19.5 James Hamilton Pictorial Gold
Longpoint Sandhill Cranes 19.5 James Hamilton Pictorial Gold
J3 Good attempt to capture these interesting birds. Birds are sharp, well exposed although the reddish colours on the birds look over saturated. The beak of the one bird is merging with the head of the other bird, waiting a little longer for the bird to move slightly so there was some space would improve the image. Consider cropping down from the top to remove the out of focus island.
Colourful Stuffies 22.5 BPP Jay Brownlee Pictorial Bronze
Colourful Stuffies 22.5 BPP Jay Brownlee Pictorial Bronze
J3 Technical aspects have been handled well. Consider allowing a wee bit more room on the right of the bin of stuffies, as the bin is on an angle and feels like it could fall into the edge of the image. Colours are realistic and do not appear over saturated.
Homeless encampment Hamilton 21 Jim Maguire Pictorial Master
Homeless encampment Hamilton 21 Jim Maguire Pictorial Master
J3 Considering the harsh light the maker has handled the exposure fairly well. Image is sharp with lots of detail and depicts the struggles of being homeless. There is a lot to take in which keeps the viewers eye travelling around the image.
Play Me A Song Top P 27 TC SPP Jon Dun Pictorial Silver
Play Me A Song Top P 27 TC SPP Jon Dun Pictorial Silver
J1 Wonderful subject matter, posture and setting. Consider darkening and or blurring the sheet music a touch. J3 Composition works well, just enough of the piano to add to the story but not take away from the subject. Image is sharp, lots of detail. There is an area between the brown spots on the back which appears to have little detail possibly overexposed.
The Ferryland Iceberg  22.5 Geoffrey Skirrow Pictorial Master
The Ferryland Iceberg 22.5 Geoffrey Skirrow Pictorial Master
J1 Good composition , exposure and decent DOF. Where inclusion of both foreground boats (focus a bit soft) and icebergs in same image helps establish the setting it also creates a scene where the main boat competes with the icebergs for viewer attention. Perhaps a shot with sharper focus on the boat and slightly less sharp icebergs would work better.
Hank napping 24 DP Geoffrey Skirrow Pictorial Master
Hank napping 24 DP Geoffrey Skirrow Pictorial Master
J2 Excellent lighting and exposure on Hank.

The blanket in the foreground is a bit distracting
Art on the Beach 25.5 HM GPP Janet McNally Pictorial Gold
Art on the Beach 25.5 HM GPP Janet McNally Pictorial Gold
J3 Lovely feel of motion to this image, almost no colour works well in this image, the wave line on an oblique angle adds interest to the image. Lovely
Hilton Falls 23.5 GPP Janet McNally Pictorial Gold
Hilton Falls 23.5 GPP Janet McNally Pictorial Gold
J2 Water is well handled, and the waterfall is well placed in the image
The right up side feels like it is intruding a bit on the falls - a slight change of angle may have helped with this.
Hot Springs in Iceland 21.5 Janet McNally Pictorial Gold
Hot Springs in Iceland 21.5 Janet McNally Pictorial Gold
J3 Composition works with the foreground middle and background. The repeating curves of the trees and hills works well. Unfortunate it was such and overcast day and the sky is so dull and lifeless looking. Technical aspects have been done well. Without the title one might not figure out these are hot springs and just think it is morning mist.
