would like to see less contrast image. interesting object.

Some of my black and whites have drawn the comment "not enough

contrast;" now I have a comment that this is too much. Please add

your two cents.

I like the contrast...but maybe not so dramatic of a contrast would be more effective. Don't get rid of the contrast just enough to soft it a bit

 

A little softer...A little more details in the shadows, is what I'd like to see. IMO, your not too far away from a really good photo.

Hey now that is one nice image. Really great contrast. I would like to see a little bit of detail in the shadows though. I like the symitry here. And the black sky. But if you could keep a little more white in the clouds it would really add more impact here. Why don't you come over to usefilm.com and post this. There are some very good photographers over there who could giove you a little more critique. James

I like the contrast, though I could stand to see just a bit more shadow detail in the foreground structure. I don't like whatever the blob behind teh foreground is, and would have personally printed it down below the brightness of the bell-shape. There's also the issue of the cloud touching the top, but that's a matter on how quickly the clouds were moving, and a minor quibble. The high contrast brings out the textures and patterns of the Adobe beautifully.

A really nice abstract photo, I wonder if the sky were lighter, it would make the 'lumps' stand out more.

The contrast is what drew me to this photo! I'm just starting, but find that some photo's look real but lack strength. (This photo has a strong feel, that I like)

Very nice.I like it.

Very stark and vivid. The shadows aren't overpowering either. I like the purity and smoothness of the image.

The contrast makes this shot dramatic, unearthly, even mysterious. By the way, how did you get a Minolta lens mounted on a C330f?

Good call, James. Wrong 55mm lens listed -- should be the Mamiya 55mm f/4.5 -- duh.
