Glad I reminded you!

Another view at the new station.

CnC welcome!

That's probably a misread F1.4...

Third party lens and all that.

Very happy with it though!

CnC always welcome!

Made me smile.

Very nice! The pose keeps the eye moving.

I don't mind the icon, to me it's mostly invisible.

(probably because to me it's balanced by the dark picture in the next room, assisted by her dark hair that's kind-of a connection between the two)

I do wonder about the tight crop.

It might have been better if there was a little more room right and top.

[about equal to the amount of space between her elbow and the left of the picture]

The subtle almost-smile is icing on the cake.

Nice and colorful abstract, lopsided and well balanced at the same time.

Well done!

To me the hunch is part of the picture, mimicing the curve of the chair.

Well shot, interesting velvety atmosphere. A kind of wistful longing in the gaze.

Good!

I like it!

Long lens landscapes are rare.

It's well balanced, has a great sense of depth and a good impression of wind and wilderness.

I like the idea but to me the execution could be more wild.

Lower viewpoint, stranger angles, bolder colors?

Could you revisit and do other versions?

Hope this helps,

Great.

Print large, empty a wall and mount it.

Could be a tad more sharp, I hope the original is.

(A bit more edge/punch/contrast might help, which seems doable in postprocessing.)

Thechnique, postprocessing and model / pose are good.

To me the crop is slightly tight.

Especially above the models head.

Also the lines are tilted (because of the angle vs the stairs) that might be a problem for some.

Try to shoot stairs like that head on or at a steeper angle. That way it doesn't look like a slight mistake.

Hope this helps,

Matthijs.

I like it.

Nice mix of geometry and wavy forms.

Great lines and color contrasts.

The blue could be a tad darker but that's hard in an image like this with all the contrast.

I like the idea but would expect supersharpness in an image like this. (focus on one of the drops so I could lose myself in the reflections)

The composition's good though I'd probably prefer it even more off center.

Hope this helps,

Matthijs.

Great!

Serene, elegant while still telling a story.

It's almost too perfectly balanced in threes. But in this case that looks great.

It might look good if you step even more back but I expect that you would get more mess in the frame which would detroy the story of the pervading emptiness.

Thanks for sharing,

Matthijs.

Advice, comments and opinions welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Matthijs.

I like the dark, not sure about the grain though...

This kind of pictures in my opinion need to be either very sharp or artistically grainy and this is in between.

And I like the fact that they're tired / old.

That fits with the darkness.

And the off center composition is well done too!

Though it feels somehow cramped, needing e little breathing room. Maybe a wider crop.

Hope this helps,

Matthijs.

How do you like it?

And why?
