I love the soft look of the edge of the world, and would not like to see it overdone… the scene lacks the awe it deserves by having the two figures smiling at the photographer. perhaps a slight fill flash on the figures would warm them up .. have them look out to the view instead of at you.
the crop really helped.. I think I might find out the proper name for this ‘caterpillar’
the foreground is lovely. I do find the horizon a bit bowed though. I might try to tone down the sunspot or give the sky a bit more drama.
i thought it could use more depth of field to get those wings sharp too!
my issue isnt with the colour of the plant ve: bird . its with the white areas top and middle/. i would suggest cropping it from the left so it becomes a square image. that will minimize the white areas and the busy look..
you could paint in the aqua background colour onto a blank later using a soft round brush at a very low opacity, you can further adjust tho opacity of the blank layer to taste.it would depend on your club rules, but borders like that for competition are a no-no in ours. they allow only a 2 pixel stroke around a dark image to be shown on a black screen
i would go for the boring framing also. i find i am feeling uncomfortable with the cut off edge. perhaps cut off the upper edge as well about the same amount if you want it off balance. I’m not sure the blown out globe matters as much to me as the subject is really the figure. perfect exposure might make it too perfect. 🙂 i like the tension between the light on the floor and the globe. I do like the comment about getting lower at knee level.
try this in black and white.great idea! I love junkshop shooting! perfect exposure and they look nice and sharp. I find the image a bit busy in the original composition. the crop is much better. A couple of things you can do when shooting. look for the ‘stranger in the crowd’ and place it in the ‘rule of thirds’ position. in this case it would be the white doorknob. in another case it could be the one with the pricetag.
You could choose a straight on composition so there are no angles. or you could choose to be off to one side and focus on only one doorknob so the rest are blurred out.
