Comments on "Minaret" by Bill Peifer
This is a very soothing image for me. I have to look very hard to start to
see some of the texture in the minaret - I'm guessing the scan is not as
good as the actual photo. I can see the detail, but it's hard. With or
without the texture, the image remains strong. The color of the sky is very
nice - not too blue. The framing of the minaret works very well for me.
Just off-center with balance from the tree branches. I also like the
sharpness of the subject with the branches just slightly out of focus. If
the branches were more or less in focus, I think that it would spoil the
effect. Good job on that front. I'm curious as to whether you bracketed
for DOF or just managed to nail it so well. I think the overall simple,
clean subject really brings a peace to the viewing experience. Kudos for a
well executed, pleasing image.
