Artist's Comments

another version of Magic Light which I guess explains all about mysterious line :D

Critiques


:iconwolfwoodster:
Very nice layers here. Good division of the photo. The silhouette is crisp and clear and I really like the liquid gold of the sunset near the shore. The reflection near the other shore makes a nice divider between the foreground and the background.

I like this better than Magic Light because of the expanded view. Giving definition to your horizon really helps to frame the whole image and let the viewer know exactly what they're looking at.

The exposure is well done, very little grain/noise for a low light photo.

It's certainly not the first of its kind I've seen, but it's hard to photograph something that hasn't been before. Your interpretation is one of the better ones.

You may be a purist as far as editing goes, but myself, I'm OK with editing to match what I saw in my mind. On that note, I might have tried to clone out the few imperfections in the water, like the highlighted line above the foreground silhouette in the water.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
4 out of 4 deviants thought this was fair.

Mm, I agree with the above critique - I enjoy this more than Magic Light as well (composition is more solid); I can't decide though whether I miss the light rings on the water that were present in Magic Light - although they broke the overall layers of the work, they also made it more engaging...

I don't force anyone to choose one of them
I think those photos are just different
and maybe even shouldn't be compared...but it's my opinion and the more different opinions, the better
thank you for your comment
I'll think about what was said here for sure

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to sound as if choosing either of them :/
They stand alone as perfectly good photos - just seeing both of them gives ideas for other potential compositions, and I got carried away

haha don't worry
I don't feel offended or something
and I can understand that many ppl may compare them just because it is the same place and almost same time
I just said what I think :D
feel free to say whatever you need as long as it doesn't offend other ppl
