>>2867355
Nice textures but lacking a subject.
>>2867356
Love the colours in this.
>>2867358
This composition would have been more powerful taken from the centreline. Also the shadow cast by the mountains to your left makes the road look like it stops in the distance. Good idea though.
>>2867359
You could have chosen a more interesting subject to have in your foreground, but your technique is sound.
>>2867361
Is my eye meant to be drawn to the lichen-covered rock in the foreground?
>>2867362
I like the symmetry of this composition.
>>2867363
Also kind of lacking a subject.
>>2867365
See previous critique.
>>2867367
I like this.
>>2867368
It's a popular idea for a reason, looks good.
>>2867369
You picked the right time of day to get this shot, the light is great.
>>2867370
I'd be tempted to crop out the orange barriers as they don't add much to the photo but it's your picture.
>>2867371
The blown sky doesn't detract from it much. This is good.
>>2867372
Pretty good.
I live in Christchurch (where those last three shots were taken) and it's always interesting to see what people new to the city think photogenic.
Looks like you had a great trip
Where are the locations on those more /out/ ones? I'm hoping I can fang across the Tasman later in the year for a peek around
>>2867362
this ones really nice
A lot of them seem ill composed, but that could just be me. Most seem to have been shot from a low angle too, shooting from a slightly higher angle often gives much better foregrounds. I feel it wouldve helped a few shots here, but that could be just me.
>>2867359
nice work, where did you take this in NZ?
OP here:
>>2867376
Thanks for the feedback
That lichen covered rock is unfortunate. Perhaps I should remove it. It really does stand out.
I would've liked to spend more time in Christchurch, especially at night, but managed to get gastro on the last three days in the country so sat on the toilet for the rest of the trip instead :(
>>2867379
Locations are:
#1 Mt Somers, Canterbury
#2, 3, 4 Mt Cook/Aoraki
#5 Luxmore Hut, Kepler Track, Fiordland NP
#6 & 7 Lake Wakatipu
#8 Rob Roy Glacier
#9 Lake Daniell
#10 Lake Rotoiti
#11 Arthurs pass
You're probably right about composition. I've never really had a great eye naturally and the holiday-nature of this trip probably made me lapse into snapshit mode occasionally. I'll keep in mind the higher angle for next time.

White horse hill campground, Mt Cook
>>2867382
Thanks. Wasn't sure about that rainbow shot, it seems very drab colour-wise. But it seems popular. Maybe I'll revisit it later.
We had terrible weather at the lake in >>2867367 but it cleared in the morning. This was when the mist wasjust starting to rise.
