Does anyone have any good tips on getting exposure right in a scence

like this? I feel that the sky is overexposed, but reading exposure

of the sky left the foreground looking flat.

I agree with the claustrophobia comment. I think it's because the subject is so very close, so you feel hemmed in.

Great detail. Would've been good to get more light on his head and have his body recede a little.

I'd love to hear how you made this shot!

I'm pleased with the composition on this one - the line of the

buildings drawing the eye to the Palace (Medici) at the end. Any

comments?

This photo scores because 1) great texture on the window, 2) great contrast on the weatherboards, and 3) good juxtaposition of the horizontals in the roof, wall and window with the diagonal cut made by the roof edge. Detail looks a little fuzzy though.

Brighton is my home town, so I've seen more shots of this building than... well... I've seen quite a few. Good to see that you got some foreground in it. Maybe could've been cropped slightly to lose the leaves that intrude on the right margin? Or maybe they could be photoshopped out. (PS, It's the 'Royal Pavillion')

The end of the passage is slap bang in the vertical midpoint of the photo. I'd like to see it with the midpoint moved down a little, to help guide the eye along the rather fine ceiling.

I would like to see this cropped in to the apex of the Gothic arch, losing some at the sides to focus on the entrance and the steps. Alternatively, take it out more to get more of the facade above the pointy bit (!).

 

Looks great in B&W though. Good detail and constrast.

Great photo. Maybe you got a little carried away on the intro (remember, most of the people on this forum *are* twice your age, and therefore a little curmudgeonly). But you are right to be proud of your work.

I love the quirkiness. Personally, I think it could've done without the butcher - just the pig's head looking mournfully at the sausages.
