    Bhimtal Lake from Mobile - C&C Welcome

    Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

    I have clicked this image from my mobile phone (Note 2) and processed it in Photoshop. The climate was not very good for a dramatic lighting, so i tried to frame and give contrast using plants and flowers. I really like the curved frame and i deliberately kept that architecture in the lake off center.

    Please provide your views and suggestion with composition and processing.

    Thank You

    PS : Please click on the image for lightbox screen view (Highly recommended).

    Update 1: Removed Twigs and added some blues to remove yellow over tones and fix little tilt towards right.

    A very decent shot, Raj!

    Good composition (except the twig in upper right corner) well framed with
    the flowery foreground. I see two issues: the WB (yellow over-tones) and
    the horizon tilts a tad on the right.

    Raj,

    Nicely done, from a distance the two ships, almost centered in the frame, look like dashes and are too dark in tone. I would remove or lighten their tone similar to the others.

    IMO, they either should all be removed (not the best idea!) or all stay there as
    they are elements of real life events in the picture. A photograph has to tell a
    story and the boats are part of the story and, as such, override any aesthetic
    consideration. Just an opinion.

    Hi Raj,

    Awesome what you produced with your celcam.

    I'd rather stay with the original. I like it.

    Thanks
