Description I haven't taken or uploaded pictures in about a year so I thought it was about time. I just took this yesterday at the lake. Please critique! If you have any suggestions for the colors it would be really great.
Thank you.

Hmm I wonder why I forgot to comment on like, all your stuff? Maybe it was while I was away from dA, anyway you know I love this picture its great This would have been an awesome one to try with HDR!!

Hmm maybe because you like to be mean and never comment on my stuff? Not really! I think its just because I show you my pictures before I upload them to dA so I already know what you think about them. Oh good idea! I've been thinking about what I could try doing HDR with but I hadn't been able to think of anything. I'll have to try it!

Boo!! How could you even say that
Yeah I think that's probably it...

You should really try this again with hdr the sky would look perfect...but remember you need to shoot in raw anyway I'm sure I'll talk to you about it later!

Ah I don't know if it would work because what if the water moves? Would it move between the 3 different pictures? Maybe I'll still try to do it and try taking it in RAW. I need to figure out how to do that still.

zeyus In reply to openxsky [2008-08-19 08:27:18 +0000 UTC]

Hmm well you could do it with 3 shots? and it actually might look cool with the water moving, of you could just take one (if you take the 3 you'll get that one anyway) and make the 2 others from that
Ahh I guess that setting is just in the menu where you choose what type of picture you want (JPG, RAW / High / low quality)

Very nice... the composition, lighting, and water are just perfect, Kate.

Which lake is this?

Thank you!! This is Rattle Snake Lake, which is pretty cool!! It used to be an old town that got covered by water and now its a lake?

Now this is the kind of photography I've missed. Perfectly composed, as always, and I like the colours just the way they are. It's clearly a beautiful place, you captured it excellently.

I like this one a lot ... beautiful, calm and peaceful. I would just suggest maybe to just saturate the photo a little to have the colors pop a little more. Just a suggestion though.

Wow you really haven't posted in forever! The water looks totally beautiful. The ripples are perfect.

I guess, since you asked, if it was my photo, I would burn the montains a bit, and maybe add some color tint to the clouds...?

Very nice shot

Wow! Quite a beautiful place! Where is it?

I'm glad to see you're back!

The sky, I think, isn't as brilliant as it could be, and that might detract from the image a little bit...

Other than that, great job.

openxsky In reply to Moses-of-Suburbia [2008-04-10 20:10:17 +0000 UTC]

It's called Rattle Snake Lake and it's in Washington state.
Yeah, I'm glad that i'm back. I really used to love photography but I just suddenly stopped so I hope I can start again.
I know what you mean about the sky. What do you think would make it better?

Hm... well, I dunno, I guess... blueness...? Ha. I'm not sure about that I can just criticize not actually be helpful!

I guess if it were just more striking, for such beautiful scenery. Sorry I can't be more helpful!
