    I agree, the contrast is too low, or maybe its that the tonal scale isn't broad enough - its very muddy I think. I think that the reason the 'milky water' effect is so cliche as noted by the other commenter is that it renders very nice textures in an image and might work well here too.

    I like the simplicity of this; a corp of the righside to eliminate the bird will remove that distraction while not compromising the composition - you'll lose a little size but thats ok.

    This is very interesting - has some of the qualities in posing, scene, lighting that I would expect to see in a renaissance painting by an old master - this really is 'woman as godhead'. Having just witnessed the birth of my son, I think the theme, and symbolic structure here is right on.

    I can see this is a very powerful moment, and don't need to see all the other elements Michael Bender complains about being absent. I don't know the context here, from the title I'm assuming its someone having a bad day on drugs. Could be though this is from a protest or some other sort of civil unrest. It works because it focuses on the individual and brings home the distress she feels in a powerful way. I simply don't see this as a 'story' but as a depiction of utter despair for a single person.
  1. I'd rather look at an image and appreciate it for what it is - a nice image, one that is appealing to look at. I'm not sure I 'need' to see a symbol in everything. Nice image by the way.

    this just really doesn't get my interest.. and I think the receding hallway thing is a little hackneyed. The exposure isn't bad, but there just isn't much here.
  2. two things about this I'd like to see differently: 1) the dark areas near the bottom left are too dark - there's simply nothing there to look at. 2) the branches near the top center obscure the pathway of the stream - a lower perspective might show that a little more, giving the eye something to 'follow' into the main subject area.

    Mathilda, try getting closer to your subject, or find a vantage where your view of the barn isn't occluded by branches and other distracting elements. In this image, the branches of the tree are right in front of the barn and take away visually from what you want people to see. Keep shooting!
  3. I'm not sure if its your scan but two impressions hit me right off about this image - 1) its rather unsharp throughout, and 2) the contrast is very flat. I like the concept, the composition, but I think the technical execution could have been better. My rating (4/4) reflects that I think the aesthetics are degraded by the lack of sharpness and contrast, and that this subject and even composition isn't particularly original. You have some nice images in your folders - try this again!
