OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: There are so many things I like about this image - the perspective, its radial nature, its smooth look, the motion blur, the black and white treatment, the very slightly tone-mapped look (is it? Or is it just curves manipulation?); the placement of the door in the frame; the degree of obliquity of the sign.
Critical stuff: Nothing at all really - it does make me wonder about the colour version - but I trust you that the black and white is better, you've been right about every other choice in the image.
Overall: Great, visually full yet clean image. I hope it does well. |
