Desert Hills Rainbow

Comment by skief:
Definitely extraordinary double rainbow. If it had been my picture, would have cropped out the houses/roofs on the bottom to make it seem totally a nature shot.

Nice photo. Too bad the camero wasn't red, because that would have probably stood out more in this photo.

I like the idea of using selective desaturation to make the Camaro stand out among the other cars. Cheers for cropping to an unconventional shape to home in on the cars. I find the half-figures on both sides somewhat distracting.

I think it would've been better if you had a closer view and without any people in it.

This pic shows too much "other stuff". This is the problem with car shows, you have tons of people all of the place which makes wide shots really hard.

i like the people being part of the shot, but the two that are half in the shot on both sides would be better off either in or out. i like the semi-panoramic crop too.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

The message
The water tower grabs attention here; it has a lot of contrast with the sky and a unique shape. The train is a nice touch that adds context and ambience to the water tower, but even though the rails lead the eye to it, the train is too close to the edge to compete with the water tower.

Creative choices
The perspective here is great. The setting is nice, although the power poles are a bit distracting, as is the bright spot on the object below the water tower. Lighting isn't bad, but nothing special either; the sky is a bit bright.

Technical aspects
Focus and exposure are fine. The sharpness and blur on different parts is unnatural and a bit disconcerting; for example, the water tower and train are in focus although grass between them isn't.

Excellent job on what you did with this picture. The additional contrast of the trees and dark shadows under the cars saved this from being a badly cropped picture. Great job of separating the colors. Personally, I'd have left the 55' Belair on the right colored ....... but it was probably a yucky white and light blue, huh? A very sharp focused picture. Rated 8.

I would have liked to see all the cars in color, but that's just 1 man's opinion. 6
