Description

Unfortunately, I didn't realise that in the top right corner there were electrical lines showing. Whoops.

I would like to replace this photo with:


but it's become one of my most popular photos...
It would be awesome if you could let me know which version you like most and why... I'm pretty stumped on deciding which is the better one to keep up.

Any comments//faves//constructive criticism welcome as always.

For a start, the impact this photo has is breathtaking. It really draws you in, and leaves you thoughtful.

I think the most effective part of this gorgeous photo is the colour and the texture. The deep lilac and blue is contrasted beautifully with the warm splashes of orange and gold. What I really feel brings this photo to life is the sense that it is almost like a painting - this beautiful sky seems surely the work of a skilled artist <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>

Originality scores the least, as I believe we have certainly all seen our fair share of sky photos, though this one sticks out for me. You've framed an interesting, layered and really very beautiful part of the sky which is very pleasing to the eye <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/> The range of tones and colours is unique - anyone can take a photo of the sky, but you've really captured a mood and an atmosphere here.

I've chosen to critique this photo as opposed to the other, as I really do prefer this version. The electricity wires bring in a touch of reality, and makes the image farmore believable and down to earth. Both versions are gorgeous though - I simply prefer this one <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>

Overall, this is a glorious photo, and incredibly beautiful. Great work - well done! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
