I love these broken down Americana shots. there is such great realism and color. You cnat't buy this, or fake it.

My only criticism would be that the composition seems overly cropped or framed. Perhaps a few feet more around the edges may let the eyes focus in on the shed. just a thought. there may very well be some things outside the frame that prevent this. great anyway.

In depth of my imperfections but practice makes perfect and I am on my way to almost perfect... Good enough....

This was done by a sliding glass window full sunshine on the white. I had my setting set for shade. I turned on a halogen light (thats why blue???)
and tried to get Casey to sit there and smile for me. I wished I had set the exposure, aperature was on auto, hmmmm I think thats it. Not to mention Adobe photoshop curves, levels and smart blur<----shouldnt have done that!! Anyways I had a few other not so bad ones where I turned the light off. I just liked this one better because of his lovely smile. I went back and photo shopped the original again and it actually came out better. With this smile I wouldnt care if the background turned red or some yuck color ... My camera is very capable of taking incredible pictures that I have only just discovered that since I have had it. You really need to play with the settings until it comes out the way you think or see the subject with your eye. The pictures come out better when you manually set them rather then auto. So I am learning:)

Pictures of some one else's art? The art maybe very surreal, but that doesn't do it for me.

Revisiting and explaining my lower scores - I hope to be helpful, not insulting.

I only rated this a 4because the photo seems very out of focus, with no clear subject at all. The colors are okay, but there is no feeling of depth or purpose.

Kind of blurry and not a particularly interesting subject--perhaps a clearer shot would have helped that.
