The reflections in this photo are interesting, but the theme of 'perspecitve' seems a bit weak to me.. - setzler

Hi Grayce :)

I think the lighting on this shot is excellent. The contrasting colors of the red/green/white combination also work very nicely. The diagonal orientation of this setup seems to enhance the composition quite a bit as well... the choice of a white plate was good here... it not only makes a good presentation for your food, but it makes it stand out in the photograph as well... I can smell the basil :)

Keep up the good work :)

Sun Rise Cliche'

Hi Justine :)

I particluarly like the composition of this flower shot. The yellow and black also create a powerful contrast, which also works very well here. The water drops add an interesting element with the light reflections in each of them.

You did a nice job of meeting the 'cliche' challenge as well. This particular composition is quite common and you make a nice interpretation of it :)

I believe that a minor increase in depth of field would make an improvement on this shot. I don't realize any enhancement of having some of the petals out of focus here. F4.5 or F5.6 would probably bring that extra detail into focus here.

Keep up the good work :)

Different perspectives
by Gordon

Comment:
The perspective and symmetry of this image work very well together. I believe that one of the most fascinating elements of the 'perspective' here is how the people in the shot give perspective to the size of the architecture. I believe that the vertical composition also enhances the 'height' of the building... The only element that appears to be a little strange here is the lighting. There is a strange balance between white and yellow in this shot... - setzler

excellent perspective shot... the deep depth of field works very well here also... the symmetry of the tracks and the clutter in the bottom of the frame offset each other nicely... great shot :) - setzler

The Cold Wheel

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I think this is a lovely composition. The exposure length for the water is just about perfect. My issues with this particular shot seem to contradict your own ideas in your description. I would love to see this exposed a little more to bring out the detail in the water wheel. I think you would get your cold and dead feel simply from the lack of color in the scene, and maybe by adding some of your blue tint as well. That old waterwheel seems to be the 'subject' of the photo and having some more visible detail there for the viewer would be a great change, IMO. I would love to see your original before darkening if you are willing to share....

keep up the good work :)
