Some photos to tear apart? - DPChallenge Forums

Bits and pieces of a train parked near my house.

Kindness is appreciated - but so is brutality. ;)

Also - is it possible for me to post TN links in the forums for images hosted elsewhere?

Nothin'? Surely there's something to criticize.

Or else they're perfect, in which case I'd like to sell you all some prints...

I like em.. i did some train pictures with a senior photo shoot last year, and the girl really liked em.. but anyway, i like yours, they have a nice balance between the colors and dark, and the train parts and scenery :) good job

I really like the top one. The colors and lighting are great.

I really like the top one, too.
it's very straightforward if it makes any sence,
it almost said: booom! when I look at it for the first time.
I like that "booboom!" feeling from photos :)

the second one is cool, too. great angle, really. and that booboom! feeling, too.

great colors on all of them!

Thanks all!

Krystle, I agree with you on the third one - I think the yellow doesn't pop enough. I haven't tried seperating it out and diddling the color yet, but I'm not sure it would help.

Here's the original of the first:

Hurrah for Gimp!

Anyway, I'm just learning, so praise is nice and criticism even better. Thanks for the input. I'm amazed, and intimidated, and inspired by the quality of work on this site.

Now off to the countryside to shoot some snowy landscapes!

i actually quite like the one with the writing, i'm not sure why.
But i'm wondering if it would have been better had it been zoomed out a bit more to see more of the surroundings as i can't really tell what it is.... but then again that isn't always necessarily a bad thing....

these are excellent!!! i'm inspired... i lived next to a train station last year, and still work right next to it. there are always rail cars going by, or just parked there, and i keep kicking myself for not going and getting shots like this. i really like them... good job! also, thanks for showing us the unedited version of the first one. what steps did you take in gimp to get the final product? it's very well done...
