frame overpowers the shot and because it's the same shade as the unusual round thing makes it's color less unique and interesting. It's also a bit too big in proportion to the rest of the shot.

Real good shot. The bright light on the left takes away from it and the photo quality might be a little off.

Nice composition geometrically illustrating texture and color gradations

Nice shot, interesting texture contrasts and composition.

A little too far away from the subject to get a real good feel of the 'Texture'.

The textures are very good But I think the borders are very distracting it takes the attention from the picture my eyes goes straight to the borders

This a ship? Looks great.

I really like this shot. I hate the border. It is way too big. I am sure a lot of other people have told you this already...but my suggestion would be eliminate the blue entirely and keep just the white line but make it a black line so that it doesn't blend in with the right side of the photo where the burned out highlight is. 7

The blue background does a nice job to help me the viewer to focus on the hatch door. Great picture, but I would've gone in closer to get more of the rust texture.

the border screams "look at me! " and completely distracts from the image, I'm not sure what to score this now....I like the pic..but....

Damn damn amn I Hate that border -so obtrusive it defies belief! it actually has a negative effect on the photograph, making the blue in the image seem like a bizarre optical illusion due to the border. Very nasty indeed, I'm afraid. Can't get round it ata ll to look at the picture, I just keep wanting to look away. Sorry.

I like this. The blue border definitely brings out the color in this shot. For me personally, I would've liked to see a close-up of just the circular door in all its blue and rusted glory.

I like this, althought it seems to be kind of noisy and it really blown out on the right.
02/18/2004 08:10:21 PM
I like this shot for textures, and I like blue for the border - but I think the border is way too thick.

Nice photo except for the frame, it's too distracting

i see potential..but something is missing. not enough USM? too much USM?
02/18/2004 01:01:21 AM
I really like the Photo, Maybe if you really focust on the hatch and took the right part of the photo out you could have pulled a little more of the rust texture out. I usually dont say much about borders but this one is a little big. I wont mark you down for the border though :)
