Wall, Mission San Juan

Thanks.

I'm critiquing your print in the Photo Critique Requests rotation, so I don't know anything about it other than your name, and its title. I don't know what comments anyone else has offered.

 

My gut reaction to this picture is that something is not working. The lighting is very contrasty and the composition is chunky. I think maybe excluding the part of the building in the back would make it more intersting. There's something busy about it. The trees behind the building look like a crew-cut hairstyle. maybe a lower angle would have worked better. Your print quality looks pretty good, but I think this subject would be better in softer light. I might be wrong, but I'd want to see it in softer light before shooting this myself.

Lighter! You can still have moody and use the tonal range: you have nothing near white (even clouds!) and too much solid black. I like the composition.

you can tell,a good silver emulusion,,black and white,,
