Landscape Photo Competition 2014 No 2 : Entry Number 171

Judges Comment

Photography by Nicole Marie and the setting sun. It is a tricky one to look at because my eye really wants to settle and get lost in the sun, and yes for once I do like a sunset photograph. The sun is quite mesmerizing thanks to its lovely real exposure and its position smack there in the middle. It is so cleverly framed by the tree to hold one’s gaze, but my eye keeps getting pulled away by that white and large writing which spoils your composition so much, it carries more weight than the sun does in this photograph. By all means sign your photos if you like but the signature shouldn't distract.
