sorry, but this is just a bit too snapshotty. however, if you really want to take your photography to a higher level, you've come to the right place. check out the archives for the pet portrait challenges, and you can find a wealth of great examples for photographing animals. |
Innocence is better picture than 435443.jpg

future hall of famer?by whiterookComment: Originally posted by mbardeen:
Hi,
I'm going to offer a critique, though you will probably ignore it. There are certain things you should do whenever you prepare a shot to submit to DPChallenge.
First ask yourself "What is the subject of this shot?"
Is it the grass? Is it the chain link fence? Is it the crowd? Is it the ball player. I can't tell. Remember - Simple is good. Too many distractions and the eye wanders. If something is in the photo and it is not the subject, crop it out.
Second: Colours - for a start. Black should be Black. White should be white. Here your black is a form of gray -- that is what people mean when they say "too washed out". Adjusting the contrast (or levels) of this photograph would do a lot to help.
I've taken the liberty of cropping your photo and adjusting the colours so you can see the difference this makes - I hope you are not offended.
Third: Composition - Your ball player is performing some action and your photograph should be telling a story about that action. If I look at this photo, I immediately think that he has struck out. Why? Because you have included the catcher, so I think he's important to the story. But then when I look, I do not see any ball in his hand and I become confused. If you had included more out in front of the ball player and crop out the catcher completely, I suddenly understand he's hit the ball and then the context becomes clear. Now your photo stands alone and tells a story in its own right -- your title only helps to reinforce your photo.
Witness this quick and dirty edit:
Ideally there would be even more space out in front of the player, but this should at least help you see the difference.
I hope this helps,
-Matt |
too me the shot is too dark, thanks |
