Fabulous Flying Machine

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: Generally most images can break the rule of thirds without causing to much imbalance but I feel this one has too much sky and tends to drage the viewers eye up into the vacant area. The fence diagonal is good as it takes the viewer up along the fence to the people, then to the glider and then....nothing. Can you see where you get a little bit lost in the sky?

Technical: I hope you don't mind but I worked on this image to help you understand what I am talking about. For starters, this image needed some contrast. So I increased the Brightness/Contrast followed by a shift in the Hue & Saturation. A touch of levels and you will see the result below. I would like to note that I was pleased to see the control of tones wihtout any blowouts in the image.

Overall: I think this image has promise but needed a little more thought to the composition and processing.

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: The composition is great. Whilst the image can almost be broken into a rule of thirds...by being slightly off you have still balanced the image but given it a unique feel, leading into a story of its own.

Technicals: There is a large tonal range in this image and you have handled all those areas well. I am pleased to see no blown out areas. The perspective is correct as is the depth of field. Choosing to use F10 instead of a wider aperture has kept as much detail within your story as you could.

Summary: Overall...I think this image has a lot to offer. The way the Tshirt man is looking at the other man as if he is talking to him but in a split screen is excellent. The signage lends to this same mood. Job well done. I can definitely see why this image scored so well.

P.S. I have to admit that I didn't look at the author until I finished typing this and was very pleased to see who this image belonged to. I have admired your work for some time and hope that my critique is pleasing to you. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

I do find this cluttered in general. But this image also holds another personal interest for me...so I definitely wouldn't rate it in my low scoring images.
