    Pangong Tso Lake, Ladakh, India 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?

    It is a long exposure photograph of Pangong Tso Lake, Ladakh. I wanted to capture this stone with long exposure and always wanted to give muted color tone (less saturated) in post processing. I could have convert it into black and white but I really like the subtle colored layers of blue/orange.

    Please provide your views and suggestion with composition, frame, crop.

    Thank You

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

    Nice sense of movement, I know most would say that bright attracts the eye but that shadowy darkness catches the eye and distracts. I would try to pull some detail out of the shadows and also try to reshape the shadows reflection; it just sits there like a blob. The shadow in the foreground is a bit too crisp as well.

    Thanks a lot for your kind review and suggestion I'm not able to make that out which blob you are talking... is that the shadow in the right?

    Hi Raj The main subject seems to be the rock in the FG rather than the lake. So, I would crop about 2/3 of the FG rock. Also the shadow on the RHS and its reflection both distract. I would try to fix them in PP.
