Car Graveyardby UrfaKComment by MaryO: I like the subject, but I think there is a little too much detail in the background and it takes away from the cars. Getting closer or using a shallower DOF might make them stand out better. Or, crop out most of what is above the fence to emphasize the cars and weeds. Maybe play with dodge and burn to make them stand out more, too. |

Parkingby UrfaKComment by Melethia: A very nice find! Might I recommend that if you can get back to this location, that you take a few more - focus on the bike itself (the light and shadow back there is wonderful, and maybe include the pillar with the "Bicycles Only" sign along with the bike behind it. I'm torn on the centeredness of it - I'd like to see it with more tension, maybe. Sometimes centered is unbalanced in a way. The handling of the light, though, is very good - good detail in the white columns and detail in the shadows as well. |

Car Graveyardby UrfaKComment by bergiekat: Ok...I like the subject matter here. You would have done much better shooting at a different time of day (early morning or late afternoon/evening) to get much better lighting. The light here is a little harsh to me. A much shorter DOF would have given more weight to the cars and given you a more diffused background and foreground. A different perspective would have really helped on this one. (There is the issue of the big "hump" in the way from where this was shot.) Had you been able to pull the clump of weeds away and gotten lower, this would have been much more interesting. Because the colors are not really dynamic, there needs to be something else to draw the viewer in, and unfortunately, there is a lot going on in this shot. :) (I'm no expert!) |

Car Graveyardby UrfaKComment by Donna21: I think it was the dead center horizontal composition that made me score this low. Also the trees, buildings and fence in the background distracted me - their color and texture was more interesting. (I gave it a 5) |

Parkingby UrfaKComment by Alicia: Very well seen - all the elements and the composition are so interesting to the eye. Like your BW processing, too. |

Car Graveyardby UrfaKComment by figaro: A nice subject which, like the previous commenter said, could perhaps do with a more imaginative composition that captures some of the key aspects you're trying to convey. |

Wateringby UrfaKComment by jasonlprice: Very nice! I really like this composition. The foreground blocks and bricks on the left make a great frame and the light shining through the water and onto his face is just wonderful. Great job! |

Parkingby UrfaKComment by Sonifo: This is great. Something I really like seeing with b/w. It tells a story but yet has amazing contrast for a perfect b/w. The only problem is the wide angle view caused distortion. But that can be fixed easily in PS. |
