The lake farm ruin

[Quentin88]

Hello everyone o/ I'm sorry to don't be so active on the forum but this is a very busy time for me =P

I would like your opinions and critiques about these shots, what you like the most and why?
(P.S. is the title correct? Is "The lake farm ruin" or the "The Farm ruin of the lake"? which form is more correct?)

Thanks everyone =)

The Story:
That in the pictures is an old abandoned farm, destroyed from the 1980 earthquake, the lake "borned" after thanks to an artificial dam, the lake is used not only as a hydric reserve but is also a natural sanctuary for birds and differents mammals as otters and foxes.

lovely green; i like first one the best for its composition

Hi Pellegrino. Is there some more space for the top parts of #1 and #3 in the originals ? The images look a bit squeezed because the curves are very close to the frame in both images. I like the green and reflections

Hi Pellegrino,

You could title it "The Lake Farm in Ruin". I like the first and wonder in which direction the slotted light through the clouds were moving and if it ever touched the farm. It appears that it did in the second image and would look striking if presented fully like first image. The third image looks foreboding as if the shadow is creeping up on the house and would also look striking fully presented.

These aren't really working for me. I think that perhaps you need to concentrate more on a specific subject. For example the old building with reflection in the water.

A much tighter crop of #1 would work for me.

#2 with a merge of two focus points so the foreground was sharp would also look good.

Maybe crop #3 tight to the trees on the right and whatever is needed on the left to make 5 x 4 ratio?

Certainly potential with this scene.
