Excellent DOF and detail.

I find the bright highlights in the background a bit distracting, but a good picture otherwise

I like the visual rhythm and texture. The exposure level is right where it should be. The composition does cause a bit of visual stress though, as the lines tend to draw the eye away from the most interesting sharp texture and into the unfocused area.

Can't tell what it is but it's excellent use of shallow dof and you can't meet the challenge better than this. The subject isn't really that "interesting" though, however nice captured. No context. A good seven for me.

Great DoF and composition...well done
05/08/2004 06:55:28 AM
I'd like to see it either straight, or more diagonal, this is so close to straight, that it just seems crooked.

I find that yhe DOF is too narrow on this image and causes it to lose perspective. Try a higher f-stop

nice shot but its not level. looks more like a rush shot just to make the challenge.

I would have liked this better with either more depth of field, or more of the blurry part cropped off at the top. As it is, the perspective effect you seem to have been going for is lost with the focus. Just cropping off the white blurs at the top improves the composition greatly. (they are a bright distraction)

good DOF, nice composition
05/06/2004 06:19:57 PM
Good use of DOF, nice framing/cropping. Perhaps a limited market, but I can see it hanging on the walls of factories and appearing as a magazine illustration. Good job.

Composition, lighting, depth of field all nicely done. Good mood in this photo.

Nice use of DOF to give the image it`s interest
05/05/2004 09:26:27 PM
Wish this was aligned better as it's a bit off-center. But that's just my preference though. Otherwise, great picture! I like the DOF, it helps focus attention on the detail in front.

It would have worked much better if it was not tilted. Good idea though.
05/05/2004 01:09:14 AM
to me... this needs more depth of focus to make it work. Just the first bars doesn't carry it. The repetition makes the compostion and the focus carries an important part of the repetition.

I think it would be nicer if it was centered.
05/05/2004 12:32:58 AM
Thats a cool picture! I like it a lot
