Nice job, orignal angle, I like it.

Good exposure. Not completely enamored with the choice of subject matter, but of course that's just me.

You achieved the feel you were going for.

This was a very poetic request for a critique, you have a way with words. I really like the top diagonal of the photo, but the bottom portion lacks detail and interest. It may have benefited from a different composition featuring more of the background and less of the foreground.

i agree, it probably would have benefited from a little more saturation in the boat colors. Good try considering the conditions. One other thought, it may have also helped if you were closer putting more of the boat and less of the background in the frame (probably not possible due to your position constraints)

I like the hand out of focus, i think if it was in focus, it might distract your attention away from the face of the dancer.

Would you be kind enough to venture an opinion about the photo to

which this critique request is attached?

February 16, 2004

I would have expected nothing less. Thanks John, for taking the time to thoughtfully critique my work, I truly appreciate your feedback. If you have a moment, take a look at my Monmouth U folder which has other shots of the same fountain. I'd be very interested on your thoughts. And that invitation goes out to all Photo Net members (of course).

I was crouched down underneath the plant so that the flower was isolated against the sky. I believe the camera was set to macro mode and I was very close to the flower(hence the blurred left hand portion)

Thanks!

Insightful suggestions that are appreciated!

Zippy never fails to put a smile on my face, Thanks!

From what i've read and experienced, a small aperture with a long exposure will cause this effect.

I think the composition is very interesting. I wish there was a little more detail in the lower portion of the building. Also the sky is too flat. Finally (promise) the tree branches in the up right are a little distracting. I'm picturing the exact same composition in color with direct late afternoon sun bringing out golden tones of the building contrasted against a blue sky with flecks of rippling clouds. Thanks for allowing me to pontificate, enjoyed looking at your photos, and thanks for rating one of mine!

Michael, I enjoyed viewing your Asbury Folder, if you have a moment, take a look at mine. I too enjoy shooting in this former jewel of the jersey shore.

Great sky, composition and depth of field. Quite enjoyable.

Great color, composition and unique angle. Its a beauty!

Besides the flash, part of the surreal effect may be attributable to the grain of the 800 speed film that was used.

Franz, think you did a nice job. Like the composition, exposure, color, and reflection. Did you use a polarizing filter to maximize the reflection in the window?

Nice shot Malcolm! If you have a moment, please tell us a little about the technique you used to create this shot.

Took a look at your portfolio and was immediatly drawn to this photo. You have an eye for capturing beauty in places that one would not expect to find it! I like how the depth of field is limited and the focus centers on the 2nd box from the right. If i were faced with this scene and wanted to try to improve on it, i might have considered changing the composition so that the bank of switch boxes are not located in the center of the frame. Looking forward to your next upload!

Outstanding -- beautiful colors and texture. An excellent example of how beauty can be found in everything.

Think you did a good job on the exposure and the composition. The colors are pleasing to the eye as well as the converging verticals. As far as improving on the photo, the human element might add another level of interest. Maybe one person seeking some momentary solitude from the outside world. Another thought that just struck me was to raise the viewpoint level, either by taking advantage of a balcony or possibly standing in a pew (probably would be frowned upon).
