Picture Critique

Picture #1: This picture looks like the photographer may have used a polarized lens. I like how the  bear is very clear and brown while not too dark and the water is not too bright.

Picture #2:  It also shows good use of layers used in a nature landscape. There is a foreground,middle, and background. Follows the rule of thirds.
           
Picture #3: This is really cool example of water in motion and slow shutter speed. I also really like how the white water contrasts the black sand and rocks.

Picture #4: This picture shows how a longer shutter speed soaks up more light. Normally you would
 not be able to see the mountains in that bright of light. I also noticed that the photographer used an ISO of 100 which works great for landscape pictures.

Picture #5: This picture has some good layers. It has five layers as a good landscape should.

Picture #6: This is a good example of a clear picture of the subject while having a blurry background. The photographer used a higher ISO and lower aperture value.

Picture #7: This picture looks a bit grainy. Also the water is really reflective. I think using a polarizer would help get this picture under control.

Picture #8: This picture uses the idea of reds being more attractive than other colors and the rule of thirds plays out nicely.

 Picture #9: A good example of using the quick shutter speed.

 Picture #10: This one is interesting. Shows contrast within the whites and grays.
