Erik Fransman replied to the topic the 2 B's in the forum Macro Photography 8h, 20min ago
Hi Paul,
Great images.
You know me, I just do as if this is the ST.The first image can use a tad more room in front of the B. And the leaves are a tad noisy.
Here a sloppy edit:
And the second image is also great but the flower is so beautiful, that you have two heroes in the image. I suggest taking the leaf at the left bottom out and…[Read more]

Paul,
Don’t get me wrong. I greatly advocate using a title that throws the public a bit off. ( I do it all the time) So I have no problem with the title. Especially, after your clear explanation.
However, since this is the Shak Tank, we give criticisms when the execution can be better.
We all have the same problem. Almost any imaginable ima…[Read more]

Hi Tim, you confuse me with the title “Light Painting”. I was expecting something else.
I agree with Rob, what is the added value of a 7-shot composite?
And for me, it does not quite work. It should be perfect when you make a “beauty” shot, or Hero shot as we call it in the trade. IMHO there is too much smudge in the blacks which takes away from…[Read more]

Is that Robert’s Bull Wasp in the corner?
Good shot Beth. -

On second thought, I don’t agree with myself, necessarily.
The two “older” people in the middle are also a part of storytelling.
Just a different story.
They work both. With and without. -

Thank you for the biology lessen!
Especially your first image is a smasher!
Should be a movie poster.“Coming, not only to a theatre near you!”

Hi Rob,
I like the B&W treatment and I also like the 30s smoothness of the water.
But the image does not work for me.You have a strong leading line but it is leading to nothing.
The water in the FG is nice and smooth, but it does not have enough to catch my interest.
The sky has on the right some stars, but they are not spectacular.
(and there…[Read more] -

Hi Lenny, it’s either putting a $15 lens on a 2k $ camera or buying a $30 Holga 120N and some analog 120 film. I can promise you, that is fun to do.

Erik Fransman replied to the topic Framed Toraco in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 2wk, 4d ago
Hi Tobie, Ik think the framing works. However, IMHO, there is too much clutter around the Toraco which takes away a lot of the effect. Also, the leaves around the bird are too bright. Which makes the bird not to stand out. And that also goes for the bottom.
I suggest a small crop from the bottom to get rid of these light parts at the bottom. Give…[Read more] -

Erik Fransman replied to the topic No Idea What You See? in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 3wk, 1d ago
Again I agree with you. I like the visual but it misses indeed a focal point. But, if there was a focal point, the title could probably not be “No Idea What You See?” because, with a focal point, you probably would have a clue what you see. Does that make sense?

Erik Fransman replied to the topic Street Photography London Underground 2 in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 3wk, 1d ago
Good point Lenny. However, a changing aspect ratio or crop may tell the story better. But first and foremost, it’s the story that it is about. Agree!

Thank you, Jim.
Yeah, Black and White may work here very well. I agree that the color mix here just adds a bit to the scene. - Load More
