Lilley Bridge over the Rouge River

Thank you for your critique of this photo.

I think the borders and framing is overdone.. its really become the core of this image and distacts from the real image.(its a great job by the way but not for this image) I like the colours in the image.. otherwise I really dont like the overall effect you've tried to put across...

sincerily..i don't like the frame and this kind of glass-ice style....but the picture itself is great!!

Appreciation other peoples work as well as the appreciation of things beautiful does seem to be in the eye of the beholder......therefore, for the record I still enjoy this picture and the edge effect. Sorry you don't.

Of all of your images, I like this one the most, and part of why I like it is the edging. For me it helps to not only anchor a very strong and forceful subject, but also to subdue it for a more gentle look. The composition and tone are also great... leads me into it and makes me want to know what is at the end. I think you did a great job of taking something many would consider ugly, and capturing it in such a way to create a work of artistry and vision. 7/7

Amanda, thank you so much for taking the time to study and critique my photo. I am grateful that you appreciated the photo, the edging, and it's overall esthetics as much as you did.

Many thanks,

Michael

 

The oxide indicates that this image is not in B&W. Great work!!

Thanks Gerardo, it's impressive how observant you are to notice the fact that this was shot in color not B&W. Michigan can be profoundly grey and dreary in the winter. I did shoot this on color film, you are a keen observer.

Mike, I love the photo, it`s the kind of subject I can`t get enough of. I will try to ignore the frame.

Thank you for going the extra mile and saying what you think even about my "weird ass frames". I have always been a fan of your work therefore, receiving any comment or critique from you means a great deal, thanks again. For the record the framed edge treatment has been tried this one time. Allow me to say, not too many who dropped by to add their 2 cents have been all that wild about it or have appreciated it for that matter. Again, thanks for stopping by.

 

Regards,

Michael
