the tilt is distracting

Very nice. I always love the prism effect of light points. I bet you used a small aperture.

Aaron,

Thanks for comment. I believe f8. That's what I typically use on these night shots. Although, if I am trying to get sharp reflections on the river I will maintain the shortest shutter speed and adjust my aperature accordingly. AJM

I rated the way I did for a few reasons. Before I comment though, I'd like to tell you that I am not a professional photographer (not by a long shot) and I still have a lot to learn - hence why I do not comment on a lot of pictures I rate. When I do rate, I rate the pictures in comparison to the work of other photographers on this site.

The asthetics were ok, but not anything special. The bridge is not centered (if you had a reason for that, I can not tell)and the light are neat yes, but not that neat.

As far as originality - usually architecture pictures are impressive because they are impressive structures to begin with. In this case, the structure is not that impressive. Also, the pictures I rate high for originality in general have an odd angle that shouldn't work with the picture but did, or is a successful diversion from sunsets and flowers.

I do not mean to offend in any way, and everyone has their own cup of tea. This is a nice picture, but average compared to the rest of the pictures on this site.

Interesting, so your qualified enough to rate, but not comment? In my book, it should be the other way around, because if you can't articulate or define your rating you have no business rating.

The last thing as a beginner you should be doing is rating the amount of photos you do. I dont have a problem with you rating photos, but you seem to rate based on "your cup of tea", I have a real problem with that. There are a lot of subjects that I can't stand, but if the picture is technically sound then I will rate accordingly based on technical merit. There are tons of every subject out there. a million cats, a million dogs, a million snapshots of people, and a million portraits. Does that mean everyone of them gets a bad rating for originallity?

I can take a bad rating. No problem, but you should re-evaluate your rating practices especially since you are an admitted newbie.

Mr. Murphy,

Just so you know, I have stopped rating for the while and on the rare occasion I do rate I 'try' to give good reason. Yep - this might be connected to you comments, but you'll never really know will you. (hint of humor in the last statement, no offense intended - could even be seen with a wink attached) I do appreciate you through critiques whether good or bad you are very honest and I admire that. I would love if you could critique my photos.

Thanks

 

Back again, it's been quitea while. I wanted to ask if you used a filter on your lense for the effect with the lightsorif that was photoshopped? I'd love it if you stopped by and checked out my new stuff - most of my good stuff is my film (i switched and dontown a scanner)but i have scanned a few (on the crappy library scanner... keep in mind).

No filter or post processing used to acheive the "star" effect. For some reason beyond me, when I use that particular lens shooting those lights, I naturally get that effect.
