The Gateby
NatashaComment: Critique by Silver Fox.
Greetings Natasha.
Lovely Black and White Photograph.
I simply love the shadows created by the columns.
Your photo is very clear and crisp, so much so, that you can see the grain in the wood on the poles nearest your camera and on the walls further away.
Your gray and white tones are nicely done, especially making the wood look old.
DOF is nicely done. Focus is nice and clear.
Looking above at the beams,( I can just barely make them out) I wonder if you could have brought out more detail in them?
When one first looks at your work, they would assume that the columns are supposed to lead you to the gate, but I think they would be wrong. It is the shadows of the columns that lead you there - is it not?
Natasha - I do not see anything wrong with your photo, you've done a good job. I wonder what it would look like if you had used a tripod with a much slower shutter speed? Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more of your photos in the future.
