dennis jones 0 Posted May 13, 2004 Right on the money with the exposure and composition. Nice work, Predrag. Link to comment
mudshark 0 Posted May 13, 2004 It's a great subject for black and white. Good tonal values and the composition is fine. Nice job. Link to comment
guido_fulgenzi 0 Posted May 14, 2004 Nice composition Pedrag,in particular I like the texture thanks mybe to the b&w. Link to comment
ajpn 0 Posted May 14, 2004 I don't know what can be suggested to make this better Predrag, short of adding a third boat ;-) Link to comment
florianabarbu 0 Posted May 14, 2004 The composition , light and tone is great,but for me, mising the beautifuls colours like in "the blue boat". Floriana Link to comment
vladimir_bojovic 0 Posted May 14, 2004 I like the photo, but I would prefer if the angle was lower. Also, I agree with Floriana: another photo in colour was slightly better. Link to comment
andris 0 Posted May 14, 2004 Nice contrast of object forms. Well caught. As an inmprovement: square format and low key. Link to comment
mark_dyer 0 Posted May 14, 2004 I agree, nice tones, shame there isn't more of the water and reflections but you can't go cutting down the trees. Link to comment
peterfauland 0 Posted May 14, 2004 ... the large number of details and the good sharpness (as far as this can been seen in that jpg). Only one thing: A little bit more water, maybe with some reflection of one of the boats ... Really nice work ... Peter Link to comment
paul_muresan 0 Posted May 14, 2004 I think it´s a really good picture in this monochrome colour. Link to comment
vlad the hunter 0 Posted May 14, 2004 It is very cute. I wouldn't touch it. Leave it as it is. Link to comment
francescomartini 0 Posted May 14, 2004 This image is very good, also the B&W..perhaps a little of more contrast..!!! Link to comment
margaret_s. 0 Posted May 14, 2004 Thanks for the invitation Predrag - this is really very nice - I love it. Personally, I prefer when the subject is a bit off-center, because it makes it a little more interesting - but it really depends on the image. I like the water reflection inside the boats.. nice work! Link to comment
mjunius 0 Posted May 14, 2004 I like the tonal range and the contrast. Maybe a slightly different composition could add some dynamics to the image (off center, boat orientation), but I don't know if the location allows for that. Anyway, a fine image as is. Link to comment
peten 0 Posted May 14, 2004 Boats are a little too central with too much clutter around them.I would crop top 1/5 & right 1/4 & up the contrast.See attached file & let me know what you think. Regards Pete. Link to comment
pedja 1 Posted May 15, 2004 Thank you all for commenting in a constructive way. I like Peter's version, which is BTW similar to the one posted by Andris, but this is not what I was after. I wanted the boats to be in the center and surrounded by foliage, and deliberately avoided high contrast. The intention was to convey a peaceful, calm and still mood. Higher contrast is, to my understanding, better suited to dramatic scenes, which this one certainly isn't. Link to comment
brandon hale 0 Posted May 16, 2004 Hay Predarg, I think that you did indeed get what you were after. I am not so sure that it would be better in colour. To me the image is somewhat stark and hard somehow though technically it is fine. I am not sure how you could soften it. Brandon Link to comment
jannis 0 Posted May 16, 2004 Hello Predrag Thank you for the invitation! I will agree with Peter Nixon regarding the cropping of the image. Placing the two boats away from the center creates a more dynamic and pleasant composition Best regards Link to comment
donpaulson 0 Posted May 16, 2004 I especially like the symbolizm of the two boats snuggled safely in a harbor. I also prefer the original image as posted rather than the darker examples suggested. Link to comment
peten 0 Posted May 16, 2004 I stand corrected.Having read your intentions for the atmosphere you wished to convey,then I have to admit your version achieves it admirably. Regards Pete. Link to comment
Dennis Newman 0 Posted May 19, 2004 I like this a lot. I feel as if I've stumbled across these two boats during a hike. They're almost inviting me out for a row. The arrangement of elements is good, surrounding the boats in a circle of foliage and rocks creates a serene and natural feeling. Some have suggested moving the boats more off center. I think that might have helped. But this version is well done. Link to comment
cramnoyod 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Your composition is very good. You have all the grey tonality in your exposition. Beautiful picture. Link to comment
