Well if you are ever on 2nd, on the Belmont Strip, shooting, and two photogenic Labradors approach you for a quick photo shoot (they are both fame whores), they belong to my folks. Austin (the Yellow Lab) and Max (the Black Lab) are popular fixtures there in the community. You can often find them hanging out in the shade or sipping on a cappuccino outside of starbucks.
idezine.... thats exactly where it is. i live near CSULB so i'm a couple miles from that bridge. i'm on 2nd st a lot but i always wanted to shoot from that bridge. since there are a couple in the area, this one is on 2nd st, closest to alberstons and PCH.
Nice Shot! Reminds me of home. My family lives two houses off of 2nd Street, on Glendora Ave. Is that the 2nd Street bridge between Naples and Belmont Shore?
great feedback! im still working on post editing technique and cropping as well. im still new to that so ill keep all the advice on hand for my future photos... thanks a lot!
the colors, setting, mood, sytle etc are all perfect. I would go along with all the other commenters in saying that the crop or composition is lacking that final punch to make this a remarkable shot. I personally would have liked a more landscape oriented shot (rather than square) with either more stuff to the left and right or less sky or less water to achieve a more horizontal shot.
Very interesting shot. Might have to do with the off centering of the river. I think the horizon line is moving through the center too much a little lower would have sparked more of the skyline and give more of a pop. Well done overall.
Very nice shot! I would crop just a little it off of the sky at the top. I think that would focus the viewer just a little more on the water scene. Just my opinion...it's very nice as is.
