Shadows and Light (A Study in Black and White)

wow, I like this shot alot
the left side behind the building kinda takes the feel of the shot away and it looks like that may be an overturned trash can or something of that sort under the awning. I love the border and the exposure and dof is perfect. I would have put a very very slight desharp mask across this image but other than that great shot. clean up the left side and this would have been a 10, but I'm going to go with a 9 here

there is a ton of noise or grain in this shot. The dark in the bottom middle part of the frame areway blown out and there aren't many light points in the frame compaird to the number of dark points. Great try though, go back and fix the noise problem and your scores will improve a lot

Contrast Matches His Job No Gray Area

lol, great great shot. the comp is perfect the exposure is just right. you hit the dof perfect, there is only one major problem. there is alot alot of noise in this shot. crank down your iso and don't let the camera over heat. the noise in this shot is almost overwhelming and I think it robbed you of a top 10 finish here...8

woah, way over saturated and it makes the whole shot to hard to look at.

wow, I like what your trying to do here. the only problem is the exposure. the focus is wonderful but the blacks are to grey and the white are to gray. put the camera in manual and take the meter readings yourself

wow, very nicely done. it's great to see someone use a light meter in this challenge. only thing I can find fault with this shot is the nasty shadows across the statue at the top, and I know that is something that is hard and almost imposable to avoid. The detail is great, though a slight unsharpen mask may have helped this shot, I love it 9 out of 10

very nice shot, good use of dop and contrast. though I'm afriad that there will be 6 million flower entries and overall you may get voted down due to that. I love it though 7

ohh very nice shot, I love what your trying to make here. There are a few problems though, the lighting just makes glare on the wooden things and the eye goes stright to that, there is a spot on the background that looks like it's been cloned and not very much time was spent on doing that. the lights are to light and the darks are to dark and it loses some sharpness in the front. Next time take a meter reading for the white and a meter reading for the black and then take the average. also to, move your lights farther back or but a diffuser of some sort on them, (tolit paper works well, the cheap kind) and mabey clean the dust from the sensor and it would be great, keep shooting!

very nice image, I like how it's simple yet nice to look at. Only think i would have done different is change the light angle you can see a glare on the black
