J'explore un nouveau domaine de la photographie et cela ne me réussit pas très bien, son accueil sur le site a été l'un des plus médiocres que j'ai reçu à ce jour. Aussi j'aimerais connaître votre avis sur cette image que j'ai simplement intitulée vagues; j'ai voulu mettre en valeur les couleurs des vagues avec le minimum d'esthétique. Cette image prise à 600mm au coucher du soleil m'a permis de capturer la vague et son écume tout en bénéficiant d'un éclairage direct. 1/250s iso 400. Je suis prêt à tout entendre, vos avis sur cette image me seront précieux. Avec mes remerciements.
Hello, Alberti.
Thank you for posting this. Sorry I only speak / read English (I think your rubric is in French) but I'll comment on the image itself. I have seen this previously - when it appeared for curation (I am only a junior curator). I'm afraid I did not pass this and I'll explain why. (Sorry I will be quick - short of time).
Positives: Good colours, good detail in the spray / spume; excellent light atop the waves.
Negatives: No real subject - if we consider that the canvas has but one image within it and that occupies almost the whole canvas, then it does not allow for the viewer to alight on a particular subject. Also, the unfocussed foreground takes a great deal of the image (again) giving us nowhere to rest our eyes but quite a large area of blurred negative space. This is an appreciative (aesthetic) shot - we are presented with a wave to enjoy. That is fine (much of my work is similar) but I think the problem here is the setting - there is none really. You have zoomed to the mid-ground. My suggestion for seascapes is to zoom in very close to take segments of waves, else treat it as a seascape and zoom-out, showing us the environmental context. As it is, we are confreonted with a bewildering "in-your-face" wall which is hard to appreciate. It is far from a bad image - it just needs context or specifics, methinks.
Good luck. Cheerio.
Hoi and welcome. First may I say great looking location and good use of light. A nice well positioned seabird would have been the icening on the cake, I did take it back into Photoshop to try and give it a lift see attached. I do feel it needs another focal point to help the composition... I opened up the shadows 100% Nik Tools Tonal Contrast for texture. Some dodge tool work and Topaz AI sharpen...

Thank you for giving me a little time,sorry I translated my test into English but apparently my software retranslated it into French when sending.Your analysis is precious to me,you seem to know the subject well and the outside pespective that you bring me will allow me to continue with a more precise idea what I am looking for.I see in the paterns created by the moving watter an effect that I compare to the non figurative,the liquid material becomes like a solid on the canvas.With my thanks best regards.

Thank you for your intrepretation of my image wich I find most successful,I was very disappointed with the reception given to my image and reading you I want to continue my work in the direction.The bird that you evoke I hope and I waited for in vain,perhaps next time.With my thanks.
Hi Alberti
For what it is worth, I think your image is beautiful the light is great, the general composition is sound, I could easily see this hanging on my wall.
I was scrolling through my instagram account a few weeks back and the system popped up with a suggestion of a photographer that I had never known previously, so followed the link to her website and found some of the most spectacular photography that I had ever seen (link below). I started to read some of her comments with regard to how she views subjects like this and there is a recurring theme she repeats over and over "Shape and Form". She seems to be able to isolate Shapes and Forms almost as a living subject.
having read her words, I think I can understand a little how, in your image, there is no isolation of a form or shape, it is a very attractive image but as others have identified there is no real focal point.
all the best
