Bridge Demolishion Underwayby
OneSweetSinComment by jadin: Greetings from the Critque Club!
Composition:
Your composition is good. The large amount of sky doesn't bother me for this photo. Like some people brought out, giving some of the construction equipment a larger part of the frame would've helped spell out that the demolition was actually _underway_. As it is now, there is no action in the shot, which isn't a good thing, since usually demolition's are quite exciting as things come crashing down.
Lighting:
Your lighting is quite nice. There isn't any areas of the photo missing detail (save the shadows, but they belong there in this photo).
Technical:
Your photo is properly exposed, and is in focus etc. I think your settings are pretty good.
Post-processing:
The desaturation works for this shot. I think it's really personal taste for everyone, and tastes vary. It looks to me like it's overly sharpened, I would've liked to see it a tad softer. If you're using unsharp mask, I would suggest easing off on some of the settings just a touch. Don't want it too soft of course, but not this sharp either.
Overall:
I think you did a great job capturing the challenge theme. My recommendations would be more 'action' in the shot. And also a little bit less sharpening in editing, to make it softer.
I look forward to future submissions!
