I think a different angle would have made this picture have more impact. Did you try it in black and white?
05/02/2002 02:10:00 PM
The subject of this image just does not do a lot for me.

Yes, you sure got in the "ground".

The title implies the challenge topic however the photo is somewhat lacking the effect of ground up. The camera is almost perpendicular with the house which leaves a less than "upward" presentation of the image.

Looks like this isn't completely level -- not sure the centered perspective is best -- the contrast is a little flat -- maybe a vertical a little closer to the building that focuses on one of the brick walls, some of the glass next to the door, the door handle, some of the roof, and the dirt in the yard?

Not the most scenic picture I've seen but from the ground up in more than one respect and technically fine. Good job!

Perhaps waiting until the lighting was a little more interesting would have helped your shot.
04/30/2002 09:46:00 AM
Yes it is.

well framed photo. I like the symmetry you've created, but the whole scene is just a little bland to me. Perhaps taking out the windows and concentrating on the entrance?

It looks like they've built it from the up, ground -- where are the steps? The angle, centering is nice, but the subject may be a little bland.

Interesting....

"from the perspective of the ground up" I don't agree with your translation. Besides that, there isn't much in this photo to keep me interested.

Interesting with the entranceway without the steps. I think maybe a different angle than straight-on would have made it a bit more visually interesting, though. Perhaps you could have played up the blocks on the left in contrast to the built part...

In the rules it states that your title cannot 'save' you image. Although a decent shot, I would never known that this was a 'PERSPECTIVE from the ground up.'

There are many interesting elements to this photo, the lighting and colours are very nice, but the composition seems flat and unfocussed.
04/29/2002 10:00:00 AM
i understand your interpretation of the contest, but the pic isnt interesting
04/29/2002 09:58:00 AM
yuck.
04/29/2002 08:41:00 AM
A step in the right direction...subject just really doesn't inspire - too much earth in the frame. Maybe turning the camera to the left a bit, with the door less centered and more of the blocks in it could have worked better ?
04/29/2002 08:20:00 AM
This might have had more impact if it was taken at an angle instead of straight on.
04/29/2002 04:30:00 AM
I understand the challenge concept in this photo, but the shot lacks any visual appeal...
