    Difficult picture to rate - not because its bad or anything. To the contrary. Its not quite the stuff one usually finds here. Sports Illustrated maybe but ...

    I've got to say here that so many shots that may have otherwise been good or interesting are killed dead by not paying attention to what else is happening in a shot and the background here is but one instance.

    Its never easy but in pictures like this Photoshop is there to help - that is, in cleaning up the surrounding environment like the spots in the background and cropping out the foreground.
  1. This shot appears to beg a little more bleed. That is, the area to the left appears to be a little redundant and that more air could have been given on the right, thus including the fullness of the roof arches - being nice juxposition of the window spaces - a subjective observation.

    Got to wonder where the centre of focus is here. I mean, what are we really looking at? Great sky, interesting aircraft, even the ground and not to forget mention of the light. Isuppose if this was shoot for a WInston ad, there's certainly enough room to drop in a cigarette pack somewhere here.
  2. One could say that that forearm is too strong. In this case it dominates the picture at the expense of the individual's face. Also lost are the lips. Need to figure out where the story is.
  3. One of the gret things about the work of the Dutch and Flemish masters (and others before and after) was the mysterious source of their light. It wasn't always obvious. The same could be said here. The window to the left

    Good stuff. Sort of "cheezy" in a classically sort of way. Its clean and it flatters the subject. There is a single point of focus and I guess, that's a basic tennant of most portrait photography.
  4. Why is that people usually take such a selfish point of view when shooting pictures like this - as in standing up. The play of colour is nice. Could have come in closer and used that yellow flower to better effect, etc
  5. Would have cropped it a little tighter. As mentioned, the image would have been more "restful" had there been only yellow leaf instead of two thus giving emphasis to the movement of the water and its juxposition with the rock. Nice.
  6. As wonderful as this picture is I am bothered by one detail - that patch of light on the floor in the bottom right of the picture. Eliminating that takes the eye straight to the central figure in this picture and keeps it there. Yes, reminiscent of the Dutch masters - that timelessness, composition and the play of light.
