John Palcewski - Laughter
Amazing how close the laughing face is to the crying face. For that
reason, I don't feel any particular joy coming out of the image.
This photo makes me wonder what tests psychologists have done with
infants and facial expression response.
Robert G. Earnest - Montana
Heavily weighted to the top. Not my idea of a good solution. Would
like to see the noise in the camera at that ISO too.
Don Roberts - Chichen Itza
Just slightly tilting to the left and too small to tell whether the
photoshopping actually enhances the image. You have a lot of lines -
did you experiment with the myriad ways you could arrange them?
Trevor Cunningham - all saints day
Strange steering wheel! Must come from some eastern asian brand of
car! I think it would benefit from being less dark. But I like the
hold on the texture.
Michael Hughes - Autumn Evening at Ranworth Broad
Too much darkness at the bottom. It looks like the area above the
brightness might be interesting. Did you try lowering the horizon to
reveal what was up there? Also, makes me feel like I'm sliding to
the left.
Don Draper - Railings
The pattern is very interesting, especially with the blown-out
highlights adding to it, but the overall softness doesn't help, in my
opinion. And, as with two other images this week, the levelness
leaves something to be desire.
Sherie Taylor - The Light
Using lens aberration patterns can sometimes, but not very often, be
an asset. Most of the time they steal attention from the subject of
the image or look like the photographer didn't know any better.
Stopping down to your smallest possible aperture might help here, if
you have a tripod, or using the tree line to break up the direct
splat of sunlight into your lens. Shooting into the sun is tricky.
Go do it a bunch and study the results and try to imagine what would
improve them. Then go back out and do it some more using what you're
decided would make an improvement.
Thanks to all, as always. Especially the Seattle bound andyelf.
