Fences

I like B&W photography and your photograph is OK to me. The problem I see is my eyes are being drawn to the very back of the subject. The fence seems to be the subject to me but at the front it don't have any punch to keep me focused on it. My eyes are drawn to the three trunk behind the gate and it curving over the fence. There is not a lot of detail there. I would like to see the picture hold my attention from the gate forward but the contrast is very similar making the wooden fence blend in to the trees behind it. I think it could be a great shot with so editing to bring out that portion of the fence.

Can you upload the color version as well?

I like the composition and the detail. Good work but see if you can make us focus on the forward part of the fence on the rule of third (on the right) line. I'm not saying the rule of thirds have to always be in place I was just referencing a point on the fence.

I like the composition. Nice and I also love the colors. A picture that makes you wonder what he is reaching out for. Good Job.

Personally I like this one. It breaks some rules. A lot of negative space (sky) but it works well here. Gives me a since of solitude and reminds me of those days fishing by myself as a form of relaxation.

Agree with you - Robt. can give some good advice. And I'm sure swinging_johnson_v1 does the same.

Good Job.

The tilt-shift lens worked well here. You did a great job. The Desaturation on top and color on bottom is an interesting effect but works for me. Great work.

Very nice tonal range. I love the browns and yellows in the foreground and the blues and gray in the background. DOF is good but I feel the tree on the left is a bit distracting. Other than that a great photograph.

Hi and welcome to DPChallenge.
The good part your subject is in focus which is the most important thing people seem to look for here at DPChallenge. The cat is a very good subject. Nice features and color. Things that need working on. The highlights are blown-out. No recovering that and the shadows are harsh. I would consider a different angle of light. Always think of where the light is coming from. If the light would of been ore to your back you would have not had the harsh shadows and probably would of done away with the blown out areas. Second, consider your background. If you can get a smooth background by using a physical element such as a sold backdrop or using a shallow DOF with the subject about 6' away from the background.

Other than that, picture is good. Just need a little work on lighting. But don't we all. Again welcome and I hope you have a good time here at DPChallenge.

I think this one is better. The bottles being bright in color was distracting me from the action and overall photograph. Good work.
BTW: Looks like Lotto numbers on the back of the jerseys :) I may have to go to the store and play 2-3-4-11-21-6.

Nice approach. But I also feel more contrast is needed. The plant in front is kind of distracting because it blends to much with the subject. Other than that is a nice photograph.
