Guiding Line

Hello from the Critique Club!!!

Composition:

The composition of this shot is off to me. Although the road line does take my eye forward it takes it to nothing of real interest, and my eyes stray over to the purple flowers.

Background/ Foreground

The sky is nice and sets off the tree line. The road is dark and makes the picture seem sad.

Camera Work:

If I read your comment correctly then you just snapped a picture to be in the contest, then it shows. This picture has promise, a different angle, changing the view so the street light is not in it. Better focus. The picture is very dark.

Post-Processing:

I can not comment on your post-processing because you did not include it in the comment field. Including this information helps us see what you have done, and can help teach other users how to use post processing to improve their pictures.

My Opinion:

I think you should take a little more time thinking about the shot you are taking. In looking at your portfolio you have an eye for taking nice pictures.
I hope you find these comments to be helpful, thank you for allowing me to critique your picture. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me via PM.

Hello from the Critique Club!!!

Composition:
The composition of this shot is nice. I like that the subject "the moody fork" is not centered.
Background/ Foreground

I like the gray background on the left but the it appears a tad blown out on the right. Still over all does not distract from the fork.
There does appear to be a smudge on the lower right.

Camera Work:

Focus is great. Lighting works. I would love to see some of the outtakes because I think other angles would be interesting.
It is very hard to shoot metal with out getting glare and you only have a very small amount on the edge of the fork.
I have invested in a soft box and that really makes a difference when shooting reflective ojects.
You do amazing work with your Kodak camera. I can only imagine what you could do with a Nikon or a Cannon. (I have to be fair, even if I love my Nikon)
Post-Processing:

My Opinion:
I love shots that give some insight to the photographer and you have a wonderful sense of humor. You take pictures that please you and that is what will set you apart from other photographers. In looking at your other pictues I really like that your children are a part of your art, and seem to enjoy it with you. Even if you cover their face in sugar. =)

You have a natural eye so keep shooting and sharing your work with us.

I like this picture, and it gets a 7.
The lighting is a bit harsh on the statue and the crop on the top is too close,
still a great shot
