Oh no...ESPANOL!!! I slept thru most of that class...shoot!

I know this was a common photo in this challenge, but I had no shots and it was quite last minute! Atleast it got me to, uh, HIT THE BOOKS ahaha.

Thanks for the comments y'all!

Lonely & Waiting

Comment by kdkaboom:

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the comments!

I know this one didn't realllly make the challenge, but I was going more for personality/behavior traits than physical features. Of all the shots, this one did it for me. I'm not too concerned with where I placed in the challenge, but just that I ENTERED the challenge ahaha.

I appreciate the suggestions for improvement, too. Thank you all!

Thank you for all the comments, folks! I'm honored to have 'em :)

I was very much at a loss for night shots, since I have a tough time doing night photography with my crappy tabletop tripod. :)

Critique Club, Eric, thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate your ideas for this shot, and I will try some out to fix this one up for myself.

Thanks again y'all!

Thanks for all the comments! Sorry to take so long in responding...schoolwork, and lots of it! ;)

My professor really rocks for modelling for me...and NO, he never writes this much on the board! For Whitman week we sat outside on the grass and talked! THAT is learning...blackboard stuff is...is...naptime! :)

Thanks again, really really appreciate all of you!

And Nshapiro, I'm totally flattered. Thank you :)

Hello from the Critique Club!

I really enjoyed this shot. (I'm a sucker for NYC)

Lets start with the exposure, I think you could have gotten away with a darker image. The sky could have been a little darker, this would have helped the noise and "washed out" feel (you might want to try some selective burning going up towards the purple at the top of the ESB). i like the person at the bottom of the frame, but also think it would have worked better had more of the person was visible. I also think some burning would have been appropriate on the building on the right hand side of the frame. The glossy shine of the street is great, and the overal composition is good, I would recommend going out and experimenting with some different exposures (longer, shorter, ect) and you will produce some more terrific shots!

Good overall photo, keep it up!

A little less book and a little more face might make for a stronger composition here.

oh, pretty, i've never seen it purple before. the shot appears a bit too busy for my own personal taste, though i acknowledge how difficult it is to take a shot of a tall building with a skyline dominated by other tall buildings... getting a bit closer might have made it a bit more dominant in the shot (i think from madison square gardens there is a good view to be had). i love how the haze is illuminated also, though. 5.
