Uh...pretty much every single picture loses detail when you take it down. Dumbass.

Eh. Nothing really compelling about the shot. It's just sort of brown and boring. I look at it and go "Yep. There's a creek."

Also, your highlights are blown.

If you're the OP, please do not feed the trolls.
If you're not the OP, you're lame for saying other people should give criticisms without giving one of your own.

And with regards to 46187's comment, there's actually a valid point hiding in there, although I doubt he intended it: If your picture *only* looks interesting in its full 6x4.5cm glory (or, you know, an enlargement thereof), it's probably not a very good picture.

OP here. What you say gives me much to consider. I took the picture in the post dead of winter. I liked the starkness of the trees and the reflection of the water.

Blown highlights? Hmmm. I'll do some more research.

As to the "it's a creek" comment; what else is it supposed to be? If I took a picture of a tree, what would make the picture of the tree make the observer go: "that's not just a picture of a tree, that's _the_ picture of a tree"?

My world is composed of seemly bland shots, I'm working on giving them that dynamism that separates the snap shooter from the artist.

Thanks for the input!
