I finally got the nerve up to post my first photo. I showed it to a friend who said it looks like a post card, but we all know that friends are biased. Please let me know your thoughts...


Let me add the particulars:

Nikon D40
Focal length: 55 mm
Aperture: f/10
Exposure: 1/250

It does look like a postcard but its a lovely shot and I'm jealous that you were even there to be able to take that shot!

It's a well exposed image with nice colors. Technically, I think it's fine, but I find my eye roving over the image and not settling on anything in particular. So, my only criticism would be that you don't have a particular subject you wanted to guide the viewer eye towards. My 2 cents.

Thanks for posting in the critique section. You'll get more help if you include information that the guidelines ask for. Here you go and holler if you need help

Thanks for your response. I didn't have postcard in mind when took the picture, it was just a nice setting.... I'm new to photography, still trying to learn my camera and in the process get some decent shots

Your 2 cents are definitely appreciated!
