Large Format Landscapes

I like the composition generally...with the three strong lines converging towards the left horizon.

I'm a bit distracted by the crooked horizon line, and also I would possibly like to see the close end of the log included in the image, with just a bit of "breathing room" between this and the bottom of the frame.

Also...the far end of the log looks like a dragon's head - and it would be interesting to have taken another image featuring this detail more prominently.

Colors and contrast are believable and softly relaxing - but as always it would be nice to see this as a physical print.

I agree with most of this, and actually never a fan of crooked horizons, but somehow in this image it doesn’t disturb me. It seems to contribute to it even.

Agree with this.

I would also add that there appears to be not enough DoF in the foreground, so perhaps a tilt adjustment was called for here?

In addition I think the composition would have benefitted from a higher camera position with some front fall/rear rise to get the driftwood in. That way the fore-, mid- and background would be better balanced in terms of scale and impact.

There's a color cast that has to be removed. Here's my try at it.
