Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

Comment:
OVerall the image is ok. The composition could have been changed up to show the tips of the flames. I think this would have made it a stronger image. Or maybe just a piece of the book showing with the flanes.

On Golden Pond

Comment:
I like the colors in the pond. Other than that, it looks like a snapshot of a pond at a park. Nothing much to it.

"The Great Gatsby" Remembered
by beatabg

Comment:
I like the detail in the image. A couple of things, I think, would have made this a better shot. I don't like the dress. It looks superimposed or something, which I am sure she was wearing a dres...looks doctored up or something. If this was an old lady, she could have been remembering "The Great Gatsby" times. That would have been great. The car unfortunately is not from that time period. I know you could take the translation of the picture and title a few different ways, but...

Wuthering Heights, a dark and ugly place
by Ammie

Comment:
Never read the book, but I do understand that there was a dark and ugly place in the book. Maybe a human element would have made this have more appeal. Maybe some adjustments would have made some things stand out a little more. I know it is the angle, but on the right side of the image, the house looks to be leaning a lot. Maybe find a way to crop it out or recompose the image.

Catch Her in the Rye
by IrvineJames

Comment:
Play on words...get it.

I like the golden look on the right side.
The one major detractor for me is the light spot on her neck. Everytime I look at the image, that is what always catches my attention. Also, her right shoulder is illuminated with her face, but there is not light on her front side. My brain tells me that this is not natural :) The sun is on the backside of her, so obviously you used fill light, but it only hit spots and that takes away from the image.

Cold Comfort Farm - Stella Gibbons
by Stagolee

Comment:
I kind of get a cold feeling from the bottom left of the sky, but the sun shining through and the green don't give me that feeling. I have never read the book, so I don't know if you are just using the title to make "Cold Comfort Farm" or if there is a meaning behind any of the photo. So just going off of the title and the pic, I gave it a 4.

Hold back the water
by whiterook

Comment:
There are a few changes that I think would have made this photo better.

1. The horizon line is askew. Straighten up the shot or rotate the canvas in photoshop.

2. There is no real detail in the rocks and foliage. That needs to be brought out some.

3. Color adjustment overall.

4. Longer shutter speed to make the water softer looking.

The Snows of Kilimanjaro, by Ernest Hemingway

Comment:
Nice photo overall. Maybe a tighter crop and some adjustments in the sky colors would have made this a better photo.

'Something Wicked This Way Comes' by Ray Bradbury
by IAmEliKatz

Comment:
The first few time I looked at this, I thought ummm...4 or 5.

I like the crosshatching look in the photo. The image makes it look like the "something wicked" is making a disturbance in the visual perception of the background.
