Adam

thank you for your submission. I love your images and they show a great talent. I am glad you took the time to send them to me as I believe they are fantastic.

I cannot discuss anything about composition and colour as all the theory becomes irrelevant when I see such a clean and artistic subtle approach. I am not sure I can say the moon has photographic value in artistic terms, as i can see you have used an expensive telephoto lens, above 400-500 mm focal distance and that it something that not many can acheive. the fact you have one (or borrowed?) shows great interest in photography and I do not believe anyone can go such distance just to play with his or her gear in weekend. Let’s have a go though and crunch some comments even if I should not really. These are images I cannot take, because there is an artist behind your camera and your vision is different than mine. I can recognize good photography when I see one,

The Moon

I can see a great detail and I certainly like it. I do not believe the composition is the best, but who cares? image is great as not many people can do it and achieve this level of detail. What did you use? lens? anything else?

Sun rise 1

Absolutely love the image, colours and balance, very warm. I would put this on my wall. it is that good, and it takes a long effort for me to see an image on my wall. I love the silhouette shape of he tree loosing the colour completely as it immerses into the warm light. The image is a very well balanced, nothing seems out of place, peace and tranquility…

Sun rise

Love this image as well very much. I see the diagonal and tilted composition is offering tension, love the fact the fence has a small accident, it gives the image more meaning. I love how the orange sun looses power to the left. This is one of the images, juts too good  and I cannot, and do not want to find anything wrong with it.

The sophisticated simplicity is not easy to be achieved and I congratulate you for that. Less is more and simplicity is complexity resolved.

Do you have a website? can I see some more of you? I am happy people like you exist . I believe you are a master of your own art and you should teach others photography.
