d70, f16, 8s, iso200, matrix, tamron 70-300 at 105mm.

Hmm... I cant say why this shot doesnt appeal to me in a way, there is something in there lacking or too much of which spoils its beauty...

I'm only thinking of either a wider or tighter composition there with the brighter and more colourful side.

I really like it. I can look at lots of details, which I love in a pic. Agree with tighter? Maybe a crop with just the club house, but like this one as is too!

I'm pretty new here, and to photography, so i'm going to post my images to get help on how to improve, and if i'm on the right path, so thanks for the comments

Nice shot . I like the reflection .

thanks, drifter..

Pehpsi,
I too think it's a nice image, though for me personally it seems a touch too symmetrical.
If the horizon was not down the middle of the image it might hold more interest.....IMO.

I also agree about the wider view.

Was it possible to get closer to the water ? Perhaps next time you could try taking it from a lower angle to give a different perspective ?

However, in saying all this, that is what I'd look to do & doesn't mean this is what YOU should do. Remember, this is your interpretation of what you saw and decided to photograph. As much as all this is technical, it is also artistic in nature

...but this is a great place to post images and receive wonderful & helpful feedback, so keep on posting those images !

cheers, dave. it was possible to be closer, but there were some stoners close by, so i was further away than i would have liked..and i had to use my tamron 70-300, maybe my kit lens (18-70) would have been better from closer and lower i think...

thanks for your feedback
