Oh I really like the graphic sense of this. The geometry of all of the hard angles and the circles of the locks. Great light/shadow thing you've got goin' on too. I like it .

Comment by JerseyGenie:
Beautiful sky. I really like the differences in feel between the stonework, the soft and welcoming sky, and the row of hard news!
STUDY. Keep the camera in its case ... until the exams are over. SORRY ... it's the mom in me.

What a pretty cat! She's got so much fur, looks like a little lion. I love the high-key look, gives it a surreal look which fits well with a cat staring at the bathtub...

The DOF really brings out the already great sharpness of the flower. Perfect tones as well.

Day 3: Night School

First, congrats on finishing the statistics class. For handheld, tis not too bad of a capture but the blur detracts from what could be a great study of sharp architextural lines of the building and the way the building is lit at night. I don't know what aperture or shutter speed you used but generally a high aperture (5.6 or higher) and slower shutter speed will capture a lot of lovely details and keep them in sharp focus without blowing out the details because of the nighttime lights. Bracketing (taking several shots with different settings) will give you an idea which setting combination works best. For nighttime shots or shots where you need/want lots of detail and are working with slower shutter speeds a tripod is essential. I know that carrying a tripod can be a pain but there are some lightweight & mini ones that you can throw in your bag and not worry about them (the Joby Gorillapod at 330 grams is one example)

I like the stark contrast. Also the juxtaposion between the fluffy clouds and hte hard lines of the building and newspaper stands.
