winter scene

i like this shot. ive over cooked the saturation a bit and a polarizer was used.
would you say this is a keeper or not. cant make my mind up ifts its sharp enough or in focus

I'm guessing, but it appears that some sharpening has been applied.

The saturation does not look overly cooked to me. Yes, the sky is pretty blue, but not to the point of being out of taste.

I think it's a fairly interesting picture, given that in the areas with predominantly deciduous trees, it gets pretty stark in the Winter. It makes for better Winter scenes to have all fir trees.

Over saturated, sky doesn't look real at all, if you still have the original file, try adjust levels to bring out the colour instead of apply saturation.

Whether it's a keep or not depends on what you see in this shot. I don't know the story behind this capture, but to me, nothing is appealing, just a bunch of trees on a hill with no point of interest whatsoever.

However, what I can see is a land of opportunities for close up shots

I love the sky color, very nice!

The amount of trees and lack of snow make this "not" a keeper in my books. Isolated trees look much better in this type of shot, of which I have shot several this winter. There's nothing really to this composition - just scattered and overlapping trees.

there appears to be no real point of interest in this shot. I can understand how this scene may have been beautiful and awe inspiring for you but it doesnt make a strong composition. My main problem with this is it appears to be out of focus and therefore nothing is really sharp with clear details. I also would have tried not to have lopped off the top of the trees and wouldnt have saturated it quite so much. I definently think there is potential in this scene (find a point of interest) and you'll have a good shot. one more thing, there is good lighting in this shot and exposure seems good.

It's not a bad shot. Maybe get in closer to the two trees in the middle of the shot.

First thing I thought when I saw it was "too much saturation" bring it down some and it would look much better IMO.
