Ball in lower right corner is distracting, too powerfull. Cropping it out would give more emphasis to the men in the background who really make the image tell a story.
-
I'm troubled by the white sky and would crop it to the top of the trees; and would crop the foregound to just under the fog -- both to give more power/presence to the interesting part of the image
-
I love the composition and you've captured some difficult tones on the wall, just a wee bit more burning in at the top would be all I would do...just enough to put some gray into the the curve and what appears to be sky (?) coming through the window; even if the four panes went black. So much bright white at the top takes away from teh wall and stair railing. -
i would crop the sand at the bottom to add a little more mystery
-
I really like it, it made me look at each person independently to view the sample of Americana of Ohio...maybe a little less forground, the way the shadow seperates the rocks takes a little bit away from the people, I might have like to have seen what would have happened if you cropped it right below the sidewalk with just a bit of the rocks showing and on the right to remove the boy leaning against the wall...

comments welcome -
Great composition -- I like the yellow sign, kinda contrasty; maybe due to time of day?
-
a little burning in on the left and upper left and at the back behind the second gate would give the picture more depth and draw your eye through the frame...me thinks...
-
the airplane engine ruins the shot, can ya crop it out for me?
-
Great use of perspective, might want to take out the little "node" just to the left of the bridge at the bottom (crop or clone out in PS).
-
The sidewalk has a pink cast to it "as is" I added a little yellow &
green (?).
-
I'm drawn to this, but think it might have been better without the vertical on the right. A close up of the twisted pipes, maybe from right in front of them would have been more interesting. I'm not familiar with your equipment...is it like a Holga? -
what works and what doesn't...symetry? black space on the right?
tell me what idea this evokes? any message?
-
is the out of focus foreground distracting? -
Thanks Harvey, this one is hard to connect with without seeing the rest of the portfolio which is incomplete. I live in Venice, CA -- it's a very transitory neighborhood, so this one may be a "you had to be there..." image. A little is lost in the scan/size -- you can't see the details of the newspaper covering the window, the license plate or the star over the attenae. Interesting comment regarding the door on the right -- not much density in the neg to play with but I might give it a try.

I agree with Harvey about the wire, but I like the shot. Clone out the wire and the piece of telephone pole (?) between the wire and the white fence to remove distractions, would have also been nice if you could have captured the point where the front wheel of the trailer made contact with the ground to make the image complete. The colors are great and I like it because it's a boat picture that's not another row boat on still water...

Very Eggleston-esque, especially given the location. I like the soft tones, not sure how I feel about the symetry issue, the angle gives me more of a feeling like I'm walking up to the booth to sit down, balanced symetry might be a "mug shot" and loose a little of the life; might work too. Maybe, just maybe a little crop on the left to take out the back of the seat and a little crop on the top to take out the round dots (?) might add to the simplicity with less going on. Overall, I dig it, wish it were mine.

I like it, tells a nice story with a bit of a mood, colors are interesting -- although the rating system isn't my fave, i'd give it a 5-6 in either category... -
We have a similar style...nice shot, the tree shadow is ominious, almost vampire like given the cross in the background fending off the encroaching tree. Yellow filter? Really? Not red? Cool.
-
I'll avoid the 911 debate...great shot, guessing you used an orange or red filter???? the tree on the right is a bit overbearing, but for some might be representative ofa hand (?), maybe Godzilla with psoriasis reaching out to grab the sign...just kidding; I like the image, espedially the stars; maybe a little crop on the tree...?
-
i dig it, kina similar to my style. take a look at some of the work by Harry Calahan; he's a true master of black with isolated imagery
-
I like this one...symetry can work when aptly applied! the birds look stolid, almost stone like when contrasted against the energy conveyed in the sky -- i like dichotomy
