Trees washed up on the beach.

Is this one any better?

I am getting better at scanning B&W. My tones are smoother and in

this picture I didn't have to do any cloning. How does this picture

look to everyone else?

Everything is much sharper in the Photoshop file (~4800X2400) but I never have gotten the hang of shrinking files without them turning fuzzy.

I previously submitted the full frame of this one for cropping

suggestions and this is what I came up with. How does it look?

There is a lot of film to work with and I was wondering what the best

cropping would be for this picture.

I was trying for more of a picture with a lighthouse in it as opposed

to a picture of a lighthouse. How did I do? Is it better or worse

than the other lighthouse pictures in this folder?

This is my first scan with my Epson 2450 and my first shot with my

210mm Sironar N.

I raise you two. ;)

That is an excellent shot. The immature looks pretty scruffy. it must have been a cold and windy day.

I find it a little too soft in the faces, especially the mother's eyes.

Maciej, you have a great eye...

 

and unlimited travel funds.

This shot is from last January on the coldest day of the year: -

40something with windchill. I think it was worth the effort and

temporaraly freezing myself to the cable release.

Shawn, pretty good use of movements to get most of the shot in focus (especially with such a long lens). I would have still stopped down to f/22 and maybe the top left corner would have been sharper. I like the composition and the exposure looks dead on. Nice shot.

So...what do you think of the:

 

Composition

Tones

Texture

I love this picture. The two sets of footprints are great and yes the water looks inviting.

Roberto the scan doesn't look very good to me. The 4X5 Velvia should look dreamy. These colours look washed out and there is not much detail in the midground. What scanner was used?

I don't care for the composition. Too me it looks like she is going to fall over. I will certainly give you credit for trying something different though.

I think this shot is amazing. It is perfect in B&W.

I think that this picture would have been better if you could have raised the camera up about 4-5 ft and tilted the camera down a bit. As is it is a pretty good shot

What do you think?

I liked the composition of the other sailboat picture better but both were flat (ie lacking in contrast).

It is not a bad picture but it is not a great one either. I would have liked a little more depth of field. As for the horizon, if they needed to be horizontal all of the great landscapes would be of Nebraska not of canyons or mountains. I do not think the slanted horizon detracts from the image.
