Old Wheel View

Comments welcome. Thanks.

Very good composition Jeri, sharp as a tack, with great detail, 6/6

interesting enough idea, but the highlights are blown out a little too much on the wheel, and the background is too cluttered for my taste.

Thanks for the comments Jim and Ben. I was going for the composition with the wheel, roof line, and pot. It was a bright midmorning shot. The wheel spokes are a little bright from the sun, but I didn't want to over saturate the background. I could have used ps but I stayed with the natural shot.

I like a clutter photo,especially showing old things like these. Thanks.

Thanks Sally. You have an interesting portfolio.

 

Nice composition, great texture on the wheel!

Jeri, I am obsessed with butchering my and others people's photos lately, but this one is good enough to avoid much blood :) I only find it a bit too bright (looks like harsh sun). So I'd adjust levels to make it darker - it removes the eye-hurting feeling, and the rusty texture looks more pronounced in the darker version.

 

But that wheel very photogenic, and you got the composition just right :) Where did you find it?

Yes I could have saturated it more. The sun was bright in the morning. Your version is good. I have one just like it that I adj with PS. This wheel is in front of our cactus garden. Thanks for the comment.

Good composition and detail, Jeri. I don't see on my monitor where the wheel is blown. Could use more saturation and contrast. Cheers, Sondra

Have to say I like Andrey's adjusted levels version. The original composition is the same. I like the wheel spokes dominating and radiating from lower left. Makes a very strong shot

This in my humble opinion is perfect-does not need any adjustments. It's all subjective I guess and this is just the kind of image I really love to shoot and look at. Nice DOF also.

Thanks for stopping by Paul. I'm glad you agree with me about the saturation level. This is how the wheel really looks.
