canoe after a flood

Comment by DrAchoo:
One possible suggestion and one definite one.

Possibly the picture would have worked better in a landscape format with some negative space in front of the canoe. Right now I feel like it's a bit squished on the left there.

Definitely don't rely on in camera adjustments for B&W or sepia. If you have PS you can do so much better on your own. Just check out a few tutorials. I think I would have preferred B&W instead of sepia anyway. Just a hunch. Either way, the contrast on the piling could be done much better to really make it stand out in it's unmovability.

These things look almost organic - like they just grew there or something - no wonder you got the sub-5 rush...

I actually think it's an excellent picture. You could have called it 'the flower's point of view' (please don't say perspective) as in: 'Hey, we're not just here to fucking decorate' etc...

Looks over saturated to me. I like the stacked comp and texture.

Comment by agenkin:
IMO a very subtle and powerful composition. The frame is filled very nicely, there is good dynamics in the shot. The descending diagonal underlines the tragic state of the canoe. A very subtle sense of balance, too, with the heavy concrete structure in the upper right corner, balanced by a streaming mass of water in the lower left. Duotone works perfectly for this image. Nice texture on the bridge support, too.

I didn't vote in this challenge, otherwise this would have got a 9 or a 10 from me. This was a sure DPC flop (as it requires from the voter to rate the composition, not the subject, something of which most DPC-ers are incapable), though, but I hope that's not what matters to you a lot.

Nicely done. Love the grain on this one. Makes a very pleasing composition.

Love the severe vertical crop. Didn't quite hit the mark on the focus, but strong compositionally - 6 :)
