Good idea, well done in general, though I would have liked it better without the door handles (with the wood, but a place without handles.

Architectual Detail

Nice idea--I think the right portion is distracting--I would have suggested a crop, either all, or if you wanted the corner, maybe just include the first quarter inch of the facing plane.

Wow. This was before my time at DPC, so I hadn't run into it before, but it's a fantastic shot!

Wow. I like this best of all. It took 10 or more seconds for me to figure out foreground/background. The whole set is wonderful.

Our Largest Fire

Greeetings from the critique club.

Hits: Good idea! The sun is well captured, with good aesthetics and pleasing tones.

Misses: The foreground exposure is too dark and that's a pity because the sillouettes would have been quite striking in combination with the sun. Also, as perfectly exposed as the sun is here, it doesn't have the fiery drama it might if it were "brighter".

Suggestions: You can probably adjust up a stop's worth in PS. I had thought about using the sun; the sunset itself can really be fiery! I have a couple of good examples. Examples

Take this one for example:


Now that shows fire! But of course, I was just lucky to be out with my camera in that sunset. Nonetheless, the point I am making is that by underexposing by two stops, you have removed some of the fiery punch of the sun. Take this second example, a simple sunset, exposed less conservatively:



Note that while the sun itself is not clear here, it is much more "fiery" as is the sky.

Now that may not have been what you were going for, and you have done a great job of capturing the sun, if not "fire"! (Reminds me a bit of the opening for the series "Kung Fu").

Silence!

I like this, but it would have been much better without the need to literally spell out silence! Good acting.
