OH that is stunning… great tones, really wonderful job with the composition. Great image all together. It makes me think of the imagination world in Bridge to Terabithia. Well done.
Henk Stolk, 6 months ago

I like your work (otherwise I would not leave comment, due time constraints).
Below my reasons for it and my honest opinion.
Please don’t feel de-motivated if some honest feedback is given.
I always mean it in a positive way. And in all, it’s just my perception anyway.

Impact (does it grab attention?): good
Composition (use of space, lines): really good
Subject matter: good
Focal point: the face, but multiple areas on the left compete
Style (story): very nice
Lighting: ok
Color balance: strong contrast
General: like the idea, maybe tone down the left part to bring out the child?
Douzy, 6 months ago

Great work with the textures Nicole. Brilliant shot!
Julie Langford, 6 months ago

Beautiful Nicole
Nicole Goggins, 6 months ago

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments
Thankyou Henk for being so honest, I was actually tossing up between two versions of this image – the other one I added a slight blur and vignette around the edges to bring out louis, but then thought this one looked sharper/brighter so when I asked my husband which one he liked, he picked this one – so I probably should have posted the other one!

Wonderful work Nicole, the inclusion of your son, in amonst the roots of this fabulous tree, gives the image perspective and the processing is superb!

Kim Oliver, 6 months ago

you have many wonderful images, this one stands out to me as I like the texture and contrast that you have achieved, but mostly I like the age and wisdom of the big old tree contrasting with the innocence and youth of childhood :-)
