Sure, but you definitely nailed “the definitive moment” so it’s well worth working on for that other stuff.

Welcome to the board!

Good to have you here @sherri-mn – shout out if you have any questions.

Everytime I see a photo of these I can’t help but think of those engineers who died atop one when it caught fire. (In europe somewhere I think). 🙁

Loving your experimenting lately @glegg – always great to see what you come up with next.

Love everything about this one from @elax

This one actually appears a bit underexposed on my (uncalibrated) screen. I would probably agree with jasenka. Though I think you are trying to get the center of interest right on that red part so I would be messing with a little dodging in that area too. Lots of potential with this one.

I think it works to a point. The greens look overcooked (or just “off”) to me and I can’t really put my finger on it. I’d be experimenting with bringing down the highlights and a slight vignette if you want to keep the sat.

Eye snaps straight to the center of interest. Very good.

Solid shot. Powerful pattern.

Nice.

Haha, thanks mate.

I kinda like both versions – I probably have a little gripe with the framing, but that is pretty low currency for the Shark Tank lol.

I think this is one of the shots you have really been aiming for with your contributions lately. A keeper for sure.

Photography is our craft, but I think creativity is probably our passion. At least for most people in the forum. Easy enough to appreciate it in all forms.

Ahh that makes sense. No need to change it – I just couldn’t figure out what it was!

Shot on my iPhone XI in portrait mode.

@gary-s Get closer. Literally move your feet and get closer to your subject and fill the frame with them/it.

Do that, and you will have learnt more than 99% of the population about photography. 🙂

I look forward to seeing the results.

Well done @patrickw – told you you were kicking butt lately. 😉

I like the idea Graham. Well worth sharing creative things like this. It’s a part of photography as much as anything else imho.

Watch out for orcs.

How did you get that background @glegg?
