Michael Fowler replied to the topic Selective Colouring- yes or no? in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
I agree with Admin. But as time goes on I dislike selective coloring more and more it feels like an old gimmick too me now.
Now for this shot I think strong black and white would make this a great image. OR desaturate the red by +50% so it is not so striking.

Hmmmmm….well first the lens caused quite a bit of distortion. The white balance is off as some of the clouds are tinted. It looks underexposed. lots of dark shadows on the left side.

Unlike caimi, I love this kind of shot 🙂 I shoot weddings, this is great! It does need the crop as said and the shadows and whites lifted on the dress, I would work on increasing the luminance of girls leg so it pops out a bit more.

Michael Fowler replied to the topic Mountain View in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
Agreed with everyone else too dark. Also I would crop it a lot to remove that blue sky and move the subject way over to the right side.
EDITED MY MOD – No positive comments in the shark tank!! -
Michael Fowler replied to the topic Canoe Sunset in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
I really like it cropped so there is a just a hint of the real sky, if you crop it 8×10 it that does it. Maybe lift the blacks a bit, like to see a bit more texture in canoe. Overall great comp and image.

Michael Fowler replied to the topic Green Tea Pot in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
I completely agree @shawnlovely the Teapot, its texture, color are great. Even while taking the shot I was not satisfied with the setting, My thought was that if would be easier if the shot was alive, steam, tea in the cups etc. My goal was to create “still life” something I know, but have not mastered.
My normal training is do this…[Read more]

Very clear what the problem is: You made a mask mostly around the bird, but not in between the bill and feet. Agree the blur is too much, and too quick. Fix that and it is ready for print!

Make sure that you convert to sRGB before saving, rather than embedding a profile. Also is your monitor calibrated? Open your jpeg with your browser and see if the white balance is off there too.

Ah, well I direct shots all the time, also everything you see on TV and Hollywood is directed. You have to work with people till you get them to behave naturally. Your that the image starts with expression, but it is grounded in great lighting and abstract shapes.

Hey there! Love to help.
Ok it is a great candid nightclub shot of friend. Nightclubs are terrible to shoot in as they are dark and have lots of crazy light.
So in that setting, where you have some control to move your friend around, you have a black coat and black hat on a black background. One of the old school rules (1940) is to put…[Read more]

Michael Fowler replied to the topic Non-Elusive Snipe in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
Apparently wildlife are not afraid of cars, but they are of people so shooting from your car seems to work out great. I really like this as is, great everything.
However! I do think if you cropped in a bit from the bottom that would make it stronger, and that is a guess. I would change it from 4/3 to 3/2 format so the width stays the same.

Michael Fowler replied to the topic Evon, "It's a hard life" in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
I think the hardest wall for a photographer to cross is removing their own personal feelings from the subject. While you may know she lives a hard life, nothing in the images says that to random viewer as @ddbblyou has stated.
Face is quite red, maybe sunburned or something but not very helpful for a good portrait. The angle is down and that…[Read more]

Agreed very harsh colors and lighting.

Well it is looks like a snap shot. But, like Admin said, I have no idea why you took this image or what the point is.

Michael Fowler replied to the topic Ship Wreak in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
OK fair enough!
First photography/art is 2D, and it we humans want 3D, thus depth rules the day. Google “creatinging depth art” and examine the various images. Look for the strong lines in the images. Then when you find a subject, like that wreck move around until you find the lines.
Photography is taking a picture of what is already…[Read more]

Michael Fowler replied to the topic smooth water in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
Oversaturation: I love the rich colors too. But, they pop out, from the rest of the darker earth tones in the rest of the image making it look fake. They need to match, that is really what I mean.
