Hungryby tivoComment by tivo: Originally posted by escapetooz: Really nice. The blue of the sky is pretty and the almost level view with the bird is something not often seen. The shallow depth of feild is nice as well. |
Thank you. I appreciate your comment, coming from someone whose pictures I admire a great deal.
I would have preferred a sky with a deeper blue, but I don't have a polarizing filter. |

Lonely Lighthouseby tivoComment by tivo: Wow! Thank you very much. I feel more confident now and looking forward to joining the next challenge.
I bought my Nikon D50 only 3 months ago, and during this time I learned a mountain of new things about photography, and this picture was my first effort in producing a "good" picture.
I dream of winning a ribbon one day. I have learned SO MUCH from DPC in the past 3 months, and I thank everyone in this great community for sharing their knowledge and their creativity.
By the way, here is a picture that was taken on the same windy day at the spot. The photographer was closer to the walkway to the lighthouse and took a picture of the waves crashing over the walkway.

Lonely Lighthouseby tivoComment by Artifacts: Positives:
Excellent 1st DPC submission. Composition is good. Framing to emphasize those interesting clouds is the right choice. Sepia gives the image a feeling of impending storminess. It is visually appealing.
Technicals:
This is nicely done all the way around. Classic horizon on the lower rule of thirds line, lighting and exposure are right. Great tonality and it lacks serious digital defects. The near foreground looks a touch soft but the clouds are great.
The Challenge:
Free study challenges are tough because voters set very high expectations for technical excellence. This image is done well and that explains its above average score and 67% ranking. 5.8 is considered a good score by most DPC voters.
Suggestions:
Though you probably have little control over this the lighthouse is very small in the frame. You might consider a tighter crop to allow it to take up more image real estate. It would be tough to decide the crop, though. You may not have control over this either, but if there were some near foregrond object that to could be include in the frame (like a rock, bush or tree) it would add more viewer interest to an image that already has quite a bit.
You should be pleased with this first effort. Look forward to seeing more. |
