Not much I could say other than I love the bleakness!! The red lights of course go nice with the blue cast of the image, being opposite on the colour wheel.
Well, I have to agree, a great photo. Not being funny but, mainly a great photo because the model (who so far has had little credit) is absolutely, stunningly beautiful! I think even I could take a decent picture of her. As I say this is meant to only point out that a good subject always helps and to in no way detract or debase anything.
I personally like the two old fellas contrasted against the new cars, with their reflections sitting opposite!
Nice Image. I guess this just means your monitor isn’t calibrated (nor is mine!!) and therefore it prints out too dark? maybe make a copy too light (on screen) and try printing it?
Ok, the image itself is not exciting but I guess you were working on technique rather than composition! Even so the image isn’t bad- it could be made more appealing by cropping, perhaps to portrait. Technically every thing is right here… nice sharp leaf (particularly the leaf tip) which is a natural focus for the eye. The background is nicely out of focus and has no jarring high/low lights to distract from the leaf. If you wanted to you could have moved the leaf so that it was still illuminated but the background was in shadow. This, combined with a lower f number, would have blurred out/darkened the background and made the leaf jump out even more. Great first attempt!
I am sorry but I just see and average picture of a gate with a bit of a view? Not meaning to be unkind – I just don’t see a whole lot in it myself (Sorry!!).
Thanks for comments……Indeed the PP overwhelms the shot, it was meant too. The image is one of a small series in which I was trying to conjure some kind of post apocalyptic, abandoned rural landscape. The wide horizon is being closed in by the expanding tree canopy…The deserted, un-harvested crop being the “interest”. Another from the series is a study of the Barley itself….

Hey Sarah, Please can you re post the image – we cant see it. I think everyone thinks their own stuff dull compared to others at times. I would be interested to have a look. If the image is on FLIKR hit the share button, choose “Embed” and paste the rather long link here!!!
Nice! I would try straightening the image a little (everything seems to be falling over backwards!!) I would also consider cloning out the light coming through the crack around the door as well as the reflection of this light on the floor beneath the dancer. I think the exposure is about right, I love the way we can barely see his feet making him appear to float!
Yep, Subject is great, background less than ideal!! One to work on!!
JUst crop to the top of the barometer. It is lovely like that, natural and true. Maybe play with contrast etc too……
Ha ha……Here in Wales get rain……
<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>Is it just me (or my monitor/eyes!!), but, I see a lovely view but a really heavily PP`d (or heavily compressed) image with some nasty blocky haloes in the sky?? The foreground looks like it has had massive Photoshop luminance adjustments too……all of which is a shame because I think it could have been a really good image.
Great lighting, agree t=with Rob ag=bout the square of dark….!
Very nearly very nice but a few faults (there always are!!). The blade of grass across the body is of course distracting and the dragons tail is nearly cut off at the bottom of the image. A bigger problem is that not much of him/her appears to be in good focus. Insects are always tricky and shooting off dozens of shots often works but sometimes this just leaves me with dozens of near misses!!
Ok!! Some details….
This shot was taken at a local beach here I West Wales, The Black mudstones that form the cliff behind the beach also form the wave-cut platform that is the subject of this image. Joints in the rock are widened & eroded by the water and pale sand fills them. I shot this in colour but on such a rainy, overcast day it looked mono and the black rock and pale sand formed a strong contrast…so I converted it and played with contrast etc to emphasise this look……
Camera settings were:
ƒ/8.0
33.0 mm
1/15 SEC
ISO 200Here is the colour version
<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>Personally I would crop to almost portrait as the white to righ of subject is not particularly pleasant to look at. if the blurred green vegetation had continued over there I would say leave it alone….I like the “space” in front of the butterfly, for it to fly into……
