Brian 836 Posted May 9, 2002 Could this be improved by cropping out a lot of the sky? Any other suggestions/critiques welcome. Also your rating (just out of interest). Link to comment
igor_mohori_ 0 Posted May 9, 2002 The cropping looks fine to me as it is. Nice colors. Link to comment
mark_thomas3 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Nice! No, I wouldn't crop the sky, but I would be tempted to lose the cliff edge at bottom, as the shot already has plenty of depth. Link to comment
maxpometun 0 Posted May 9, 2002 The sky looks fine to me. I think this is a very good shot. I like the composition and the colors. Link to comment
gianpaolodettoma 0 Posted May 9, 2002 I think you should crop a little the sky , respecting the thirds rule. Link to comment
jbrand 0 Posted May 10, 2002 A great shot with good color values. The top half of the picture draws me straight in. I actually think the sky is fine, but would think about cropping the bottom half, which is a little distracting. Link to comment
secondsight 0 Posted May 11, 2002 I would keep it all but kill the foreground distraction. Nice shot otherwise. Link to comment
erik_dahlbeck 0 Posted December 6, 2002 As far as the composition goes, I like this shot. The lines in the sand for an example. However, the overall picture quality just doesn't cut it IMHO. The grain is horrible and it lacks in sharpness. I only wish you would have invested in some high quality slide film and this one could have been a really great shot. Link to comment
jeffa 0 Posted July 8, 2003 Excellent composition and exposure. I particularly like seeing the green to blue transition and the almost mirrored image of the clouds from the spires. Link to comment
farren_minns 0 Posted August 12, 2003 But, I would prolly lose the foreground cliff and maybe even go for a completely square format. Even without that, it's a great picture and I want to dive on in. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted October 8, 2004 Brian, I'm a little bit late to this party but nonetheless offer my opinion. I've seen many great shots on PN of this location & as a result think that this one falls down in a few areas. The lighting is excellent but the use of the 24mm tends to minimize your subject, the Twelve Apostles. If this was my one & only chance to photograph here I'd try a mixed bag of focal lengths & bet a 50mm normal would be the winner. Perhaps the film was too contrasty (though you have good shadow detail, perhaps due to the light reflecting off the beach) as evidenced by the lack of detail in the highlights (surf). As someone else mentioned, probably due to a poor scan, it's awfully grainy, especially in the sky area. Unusual for a 100 ISO film unless it was underexposed. A worthwhile addition to your travel album but not a candidate for competition entry. Best, LM. Link to comment
Brian 836 Posted October 12, 2004 Thanks Len, very perceptive critique. The scan is from a print so is not best quality. (I don't know about you, but I don't put my best stuff up on p.net.) I thought the beach and sky textures were interesting so I posted it to get some feedback on composition. A pic taken from the same point on the same day using a 100mm lens has done well in competition. Link to comment
nadya r. 0 Posted May 15, 2008 ... still looking... Composition is good for me. Shadow too. But soap of the waves? Link to comment
geoffs 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Its your composition that makes this work for me.No point in commenting on grain etc as I can see its a scan. This is a delight,and all comes together really nicely.! Link to comment
