Day 11: Bananas

I almost didn't notice the noise since my attention was drawn to the focused area. Interesting spot patterns and designs. Oh, and I think maybe a tweak of the color to make them more yellow might be helpful.

Day 11 - Old tape

I like the squiggly edge of the tape. I would have given up on this shot long before posting, since I would have been trying to clone out all of the dust. The yellow is great!

I'm glad you didn't sharpen them.. and that you left some of them upside down! Really gives the sense that they're well used. Funny how you ended up with so many greens and blacks in the front of the shot. Nicely done!

I like the composition here with the diagonal lines and the shallow dof. It looks as though the white balance here wasn't adjusted quite right (or perhaps on auto) which gave everything a yellow overtone. Playing with the color balances might bring out a wider range of colors within the pastels themselves.

Welded on - Day 10

Round, square, swirly, rusted, shiny, rough, smooth... so many contradicting aspects to this shot. Very nice!

Love the foreground bokeh to give this a dreamy look and the warm orange colors.

As Haneck mentioned, the biggest problem for me with this shot is the coloring you've chosen. I think this color scheme is difficult to pull off with a shot of people. A true b/w or a duotone with a warmer color would have worked better for me. Besides that, it's a nice shot, but doesn't evoke an emotion, make me wonder about the people or tell a story. The men appear to have no interaction, and there isn't any particular emotion shown. By flipping through a few of your other shots from this trip, I think there are several others that might have been a better choice, especially considering this was a free study and you didn't need to worry about DNMC comments. Hope that helps some.

Love the sense of movement here... looks like water swirling down a drain. Wonderful colors!

Rinsing Cork After Drowning Sorrows of Fatally Dropping SB-600 Down Stairs

So sorry to hear about the SB-600 :( This shot clearly has a lot more meaning with the title! Lots of interesting details here... like the underside of the faucet. I know I've ever really looked at mine that closely! Great textures in the cork too.
