Battleship Cove

Yeah the tilted horizon is a shot killer for sure. Also this was a free-study so the bar tends to get raised very, very high. I could see this shot winning some sort of challenge like 'odd fellows' or something that would really make the most of the duck and ship in the scene. You should note this location for use in the future. Also hitting it later in the day or early in the morning would provide some much nicer light to work with.

Find it hard to believe this was shot with a 600mm lens. Since you seem to have disappeared after submitting it I guess we'll never know.

It's great. Makes me feel like a voyeur.

Captured some very haunting lighting here that works well with the run down look of the hall. Nice exposure.

As I'm browsing through the pages of b/w side challenge images, I have to say I'm finding myself repeatedly popping open thumbnails to see that the images belong to you. These are my kind of photos. I'm not a huge fan of texture overlays, but the images themselves are so strong and work so well in b/w that it hardly matters.

Thank goodness for side challenges so stuff like this can get a little play on the site.

Great details and rich tones. Slightly wider dof might have worked a bit better as his skin tones are so close to the background that his shoulders tend to melt away into the bokeh in a somewhat unsettling fashion.

Great tones and processing. Only thing I don't like about this shot is the composition. I think it keeps this shot from having as much impact as it could.

The interesting bits are the hair and eyes, and they can't compete against the ocean of bland facial areas dominating the shot. Face looks a bit flat also, might try changing your lighting so one side or the other isn't so bright.

This was great, glad to see it did so well. Can you post a sentence or two on how you lit it?
