Nice colours, I think I'd like to see a lower angle maybe

Comment by Lydia:
Since I can't see the whole of the road going around that first bend, my eye looses the leading line and it just stops... But, maybe I'm just weird.

Yes. That's probably it. *grin* (not voting yet)

Comment by bassbone:
the rise of the road almost gives this an unbalanced feel - I wonder if a higher perspective to show more of the road would have really given this one a lift (and I realize it may not have been possible to do). also, the sky could really have used a few more of those puffy clouds to give it some more interest

Greetings from the Critique Club Dave!

First Impression: Simple and the lighting is a bit harsh on some of the reflective areas.

Composition: The crop is too tight for me. Also, the white background doesn't add much to the photo. A black background would have helped the ore stand out more. Next time, experiment with the lighting. In this case, the lighting is a little bit harsh off of the reflective portions of the ore. Also experiment with the orientation of the ore in the photo to try and give a different feel.

Subject: This is a great subject and has great potential. The subject has a lot of colors, textures, and physical features that should be exploited.

Creativity: To me this photo isn't very creative, it more looks like a photo of a rock.

Improvements: To improve the photo, try making changes to the suggestions in my previous sections. Try to exploit the texture and the fact the ore has parallel lines. Try to reduce the reflection from the flash if one was used.

My Thoughts: You have a great subject and all of its feature were not exploited. The photo is well taken, just isn't creative. You have access to a subject that not a lot people have access to.

Overall, a well taken photo, but doesn't show a lot of creativity. If you have and questions please PM me. I hope my critique has been help and informative.

Cheers,
Ron

Hey mate, congrats on yet another shot above your average! That's 18 shots in a row that are above your average - good trend :)

I like this cityscape a lot better than the other one I commented on. The wide ratio works well here. I think it may be a tad bright so perhaps a higher f-stop (also would have yielded those cool stars from the lamps). Nicely done.

Comment by goinskiing:
I really like the wide ratio for this landscape and I also like the minimalist approach. I think a couple of things that would have made it stronger would have been a little more saturation of the yellows and also the horizon seems a tad bit off of straight. Other than that it is a very pleasing shot to look at.

Comment by goinskiing:
I have been wanting to try a shot like this for a while now. I like the cool star from the small aperature, nicely done. I think the only thing that I would change here is to give it a wider ratio and crop off the top a bit, it would help because your general direction of the cars is a left to right, the top distracts by adding an up-down movement to the shot.

Great capture. Try bumping the saturation and exposure up a bit.
