vs1 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Moody moment with exceptional light. But IMO crop on the right is to tide and exposure time should be a little bit longer, so one can feel moving. Oh yes another thing. reflection on the glass on the left should be either cropped out or bit more of the bike. Even though I like it a lot. Wish you all the best, VS Link to comment
olafdevries 0 Posted February 13, 2008 By visiting ones' portfolio before, one can get an impression of forinstance the photographers "style" of composing. Yes, myself I did make some very "painfull" mistakes in judging by not doing so. My experience: before commenting visiting the portfolio , in general will improve my judging the submitted image. In respons on your well ment remarks: some watching does show, where excactly the wall on the right, is starting. So for the few mm. crop must be a reason, this crop was the finest. Your prefering a "move-feeling" is strict personal, however does sound like being "manipulated" in thinking. For why "should" I have done that.. The sharp and contrasting posture, the head up.. are Royal here. The boy hardly didn't move at all, he just did finish his braking. Last but not least: cropping the reflection here is out of order, for it is an essential part of the image. Your : "Even though, I like it a lot" has to do with THIS shot. Afterward suggesting huge differences just isn't realistic. It's the same as commenting an image, not having been shot at all.. :) Kindly regards! Olaf. Link to comment
vs1 0 Posted February 13, 2008 I have an impression you didn't understand me. First of all, I don understand first paragraph or what you wanted to say. About remarks I put on. Non of them were ment as there's something wrong with the photo but more than view of an observer who sees subject from different angle. Indeed Photo is COMPLETELY your work therefore it suppose to be as it is. I'm sorry you misunderstand my opinion. Wish you all the best and again I like the photo just the way it is.

olafdevries 0 Posted February 13, 2008 I did understand you perfectly. In your opinion the crop was to tight, I should have taken a longer exposuretime and I should have cropped the reflection. For the viewer an image has impact or not. You like it, so by commenting suggesting great differences like even exposuretime, doesn't make sense. That's the same as wanting a stated nice blue sky being red. See?! If liking an image, the critique can only be marginal. Not liking a shot.. we even do need more wisdom. Haha.. and next we do have to translate that in English! Yes.. phoe!! Thanks for sharing! Cheers! Link to comment
katzpjs 50 Posted February 15, 2008 I'm guessing that the photo was taken at the end of the day with a setting sun. How nice to get this unusual silhouette with reflected lighting and I also like having the shadow in front of the subject. Just in case you sometimes don't understand what I am saying, let me just say, "I like this image much!" Link to comment
olafdevries 0 Posted February 16, 2008 Your guessing was right! The low autumn sun especially before setting is marvellous in the Provence. That light..!! One does hardly know where to look at! :) Link to comment
