I agree with falx. Focus should be sharper and it looks a bit over exposed to me. Also the bottom of the photo is too high. What are they standing on?Check It Out

caimi,
I see your point and its a good one. Something to keep in mind for down the road.
One other problem I have with post processing is I just really dislike going through the process. I spend way too much time with PCs for work. In the evening I like a break.Check It Out

I don’t post process. I don’t have time for that with my busy schedule. This picture is as close to what I saw as I could make it using the settings on the camera. That is my goal. I am always open to suggestions as far as ccomposition, though.Check It Out

It’s too dark. There are some interesting lines in the photo but much of the color and detail is lost in the deep shadow.Check It Out

No problem, John. I can handle the honest critique. If we never get feedback, negative or otherwise, on your photos we have little chance to improve. Thanks for the tip on Alain’s web site.Check It Out

This was a very difficult afternoon for shooting as the snow in a lot of the shots I took tended to blow out. Finding the right balance in the exposure was really tough. So, again disregarding the blue cast, does the exposure here work for you?Check It Out

It’s not too bad. I might try again on a day when there is more contrast between to statues and the sky.Check It Out

This is quite good but I wish there was a bit more detail on the left side of his face.Check It Out

It was not tranquil at all. Very windy and cold as I remember. But, compared to a city, yes. 🙂Check It Out

Some things I don’t like:
– I think if I had rotated slightly left the tall rock on the left and the gull would be in slightly better positions, the so-called power points.
– I agree that the rock on the left is slightly underexposed.

What I like:
– good layering
– lots of tension, I think, in the scene. Clouds in background are blowing…[Read more]

The only thing I don’t like is that the closet railcar is cut off at the top of the picture. I think I would have preferred it going off the side only.Check It Out
