    It's really subtle looking. Not too many nature shots out there. I think you could have lessened the brightness of the effect. It's pretty good though for no action. 3.5/5

    Please don't determine how good a shot is if it has action or no action. Determine how good it is for what it is. Really, that last sentence was not needed at all. Thank you for the feedback, though.

    Thanks, don't know if most of you are familiar with my work, but I love trees and I love to photograph them in Halo 3 and in real life.

    I wasn't trying to judge it on whether it had action or not. I'm just saying that most shots are action shots and it's good that you took one without action. At least that was what I was trying to say. And my rating was based on the effect and the picture. Not that it had action or not.

    Again Paper, you prove me wrong.

    Artistically this is better than most in the forum. The mood and lighting are good, angle's nice. Only complaint is the framing. i see no real flow in the pic, just the trees. Which is good, but the position seems a little off.

    4.5/5 I Great pic, little tweaks could make it greater. (grammar? lol)

    Tree's look different, not my favorite.What would you call this..a landscape pic? I will give it a 2/5.

    Ah, I see. Still believe the last sentence was not needed, though.

    I agree somewhat. Sometimes I just hate the leaves on the far right, sometimes I love it and think it's genius. Though, I think it would be near possible to get rid of them. The way I shot this (which was complicated) they will always be there.
    Dunno, personally I don't think I would categorize it as a "Scenery Shot."

    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    that's pretty cool 4/5
    you inspired me to take some non action shots so I hope they turn out good
    you should really try making more of these because you're good at it

    You should've gotten a clue when you read the word "Arboretum." ;)

    That's so cool. I'm really glad I inspired you. Thanks!

    What do you guys mean by brightness? The white background? Is that what you mean? If so, that was my intention. I wanted a white background.

    Isn't Aldhils Arboretum an album?
    I like the screenshot, it almost looks like a drawing a drew.

    uhm...lol?
    a) wtf, it does not have to be realistic, seriously. You also do not judge art by that.
    b) Whats bad about landscape pictures?


    Alright, I personally love the screenshot. The colors are perfect, it looks like a painting. Only the positioning is not perfect, but it is halo, not a canvas.
    5/5

    I'm not a big fan of this shot. You can hardly see anything. I know its supposed to "unique", and "about nature," but seriously, if I can't tell what I'm looking at, I might as well not look at it at all.

    Right you are! It is! It's the title of of Montreal's fifth album. Are you a fan of theirs?

    Thank you. Glad you love it.

    Quick! Look away!
