  1. Are we looking at a photo of a photo? It's blurry, and that frame appears to be an actual wood frame. It would be helpful to post the digital image. That said, I like the composition, with emphasis on the foreground. Not seeing the texture of the vegetation makes it hard to comment on the image.
  2. Crop out the conduit and meter at the right, which crowd the right edge anyway. Then you have a strong, 3-element composition, with a completely conventional door and window, and something very odd: a clock on an outside wall. Maybe trim the bottom, too. Experiment with the cropping. The graffiti, or whatever it is, is also interesting. Increase its contrast a bit to make it more visible. This has the makings of a fine photograph!
  3. Seems too dark and out of focus. Is there some effect you're trying for?
  4. A couple of comments here are to the effect that the exposure is wrong, or at least could be improved, but the test of whether the exposure is right is whether the result achieves the photographer's artistic intent. This works for me! A strange, unsettling image.
  5. Very promising. The trees take the viewer's eye to the center lower background, where there is... nothing at all! Maybe at least lighten that area so the tone is consistent with the geometry? And maybe a bit more contrast in the trees.
  6. mikemorrellNL, Everything I shoot is post-processed, always with Lightroom (from raw), and often with Topaz Studio and/or Photoshop (which was used to delete the fourth shell), and/or Silver Efex. Your idea is a good one that I'll try. Marc
  7. Thanks for all these comments! I've taken a few of them as ideas for another version of the picture. More comments?
  8. It would be better, I think, if we limited our critique to the photo itself, rather than going into other matters, such as why the photographer shot it.
  9. Wayne, is it the title that throwing you off? If so, that was just something I typed in the field. None of my photos have titles. (If I could edit my post, I would change the title to "untitled".)
  10. An abstract, dreamy quality. If the subject were sharper, I might complain about the grain. But, for this shot, it's not a problem. I think the water must have been pretty calm for you to even have gotten this much definition with that very long exposure.
  11. From the posts here, it seems that this might be a scan of a negative. Lightroom is most effective when it's working on a raw file. There's not much that can be done with the limited dynamic range of a scan.
  12. Really close to the original. I looked at the two, going back and forth, and I think I prefer the original. But maybe you could use a brush for the tire only and try to make the tread visible?
