i had taken the day off of work and decided to shoot provia for the

first time, in my pentax. i came upon this scene on a walk in san

francisco's mission district, a very colorful part of the city. the

image of bush with distractions.. both natural (the shadows) and

unnatural (the graffiti) captured me. i framed out other windows and

garbage when i hit the shutter button. after i scanned it onto my

computer, i further cropped. the image is still a little busy to me.

i kept in the sidewalk (angled walks are a trademark of sf!) but is

there still too much going on?

great shot! saw your other images and like your style. i just bought a used p67 and some lenses and love mine. good to see other pentax users out there.

i like the crop. i think leaving a little horizon at the bottom is perfect.. it gives you a hint of what the scene is like. the way the burned out sub and fall-off turned out make interesting flow in the image. good job!

i like pattern shots, but am kind of picky about them. while i like your shot, i see two separate patterns. the top three are in a single-file line like they're following the first one. the bottom two are very close, like one his hiding behing the other.. i think this would have made two distinct shots than one. just something to think about.

bombay beach was an awesome place to shoot film. this photo shows the

strange texture and mood of the place. i'm looking for

review/critique/comments on this photo. tone? framing? what's wrong

or not right about this photo?

i only get one or two shots i like on a roll when i go out shooting.

and sometimes i get that one shot i think is worthy to show someone

besides my parents. i'm pretty proud of this one.. but i'd like some

constructive criticism. most of my shots aren't as good as this one.

i'm looking to bring me entire work up a level. thanks photo gurus!

i recently got a 6x6 kiev-60 and i love it. im really starting to

like the square format! i should post other pics to my portfolio. i'm

also new to being critiqued.. ive never shown my work outside of

friends and family.
