  1. Wow. This is lovely. It took me a minute to work out the girl was standing in front of a painting. Initially it looks like she is in the scene, and the painting is a real street scene. For a minute I was trying to work out if it was a film set before my eyes adjusted. Lovely. 7/7

    I Love the composition in this, as well as the documentary feel. The only thing I find distracting is the softness. This may be deliberate? Were you using a filter - it sort of feels that way - or maybe it is my monitor. It feels like sharpness would add to the documentary feel. Otherwise I really like it.

    This is lovely. I really love the light especially, and also the framing. I would love to know some of the technical details if you are happy to share them. The slight lopsidedness is distracting, but not hard to fix in the darkroom, or in PS (with a rotation of a few degrees, & filling in the gap created at the top which is luckily black & thus easy to sample)if you wanted to do that. you would only lose a little off the bottom.

    Wow! I agree this is magical. The light is gorgeous - everything about it. Looks like something out of Lord of the Rings. Where is this place? Stunning shot.
  2. This is lovely, and has lots of potential. I do think it is definately improved for cropping in the way you say; and I would also see if you can get some more detail out of the arm in the foreground (burning & dodging in PS - which I don't know much about, but plenty of others on PN do). Or perhaps that would take focus away from the face? Just some thoughts, but it has a lovely feel.
  3. Hi Miroslav, Just wanted to say that this looks gorgeous from the thumbnail, unfortunately the full image won't upload on my browser for some reason - hope no-one else has this problem, or you may not get the ratings / comments this clearly deserves.
  4. Thanks so much Matt & Larry! Both for for the appreciative comments, and the helpful technical hints. And thanks Matt for going to all that trouble! It looks much better - both without the flare, and with the guards in the middle (very efficient photoshoping in under a minute there I must say!) It makes it a much better photo. Thank you also Larry for the info re the 300D ISO settings. I didn't realise (only got the camera in January) - I haven't tried to blow up any of the images yet that are over 200, so it is really good to find out about the limitations of the camera. Guess I will have to learn quickly so I can find other ways to get the right exposure, and save really hard for a dream camera : ) Thanks again guys! Karina
  5. Not as sharp as I would have liked (see technical details for info

    on why). All part of the steep learning curve of new-photography

    land. All good fun, & good learning, but a shame when India is a

    long way to go back to from Melbourne. Thanks for the great site &

    community - really enjoying it, the support/learning, & inspiration

    of so many great photographs / photographers.

    Comments / ratings appreciated. Karina : )

    I Love this. It is so timeless. For some reason it makes me think of a quiet, beautiful art house film. Really tells a story, but also a sense of mystery. 7/7

    Great action shot & lovely sillouete - wish I could get shots this controlled on a point & shoot. Well done.

    Hi Mark, From one new photographer to another - I really like this shot. I wonder though if you could get a bit more oomph in the colour / contrast, by going back (if you can) when the light has more warmth to it (maybe late afternoon - golden colours in the light might emphasise the lovely browns in the old car?) Or maybe try a shorter exposure - just looks slightly overexposed / flat. I really think the composition is lovely (have you tried cropping a bit off the top? It is really well seen, and it would be worth playing with a few different exposure times and light angles. Maybe even in B&W? Just a few thoughts, though there are many more experienced heads than mine on this site who may be more helpful. Regards, Karina

    I would like to see the original of this before you added the texture. The shot itself seems to be a really gorgeous detail shot, from a really interesting angle; the texture though confuses & hurts my eye and makes me feel seperated from the intimacy that a detail shot like this normally captures. Would love it if you felt like uploading the original.
