Uninspired composition - pointlessly too much sky. Exposure a little dark. Very dull image indeed. Looks like poor or almost processing. Zero visual interest as a result
Like some of the other commenters, I’m not sure what the photographer is trying to say with this photo. It might work as part of a group of images but it doesn’t work for me as an individual piece. I’m also not a fan of the edit, it appears very flat and dull. I’d be interested to hear from Robert about why he chose to shoot this image and edit it in this particular way. Sorry to sound so negative but the image just doesn’t appeal to me.
