Chuck, an interesting concept. The image is well exposed with good tonal range and detail. I find your inclusion of the hand, cut off as it is at the wrist, overshadows and detracts from the other elements of the image. Love the cribbage board! Is there a story to be told here, maybe with the layout of the cards? |

Cindy, a strong wide-angle shot! I agree with James about the dark exposure. I particularly like a couple of aspects - first, your angle of capture compels our eye to zoom along the dark lines of the metal structure (what IS that, exactly?) back towards that tiny (ha ha!) lighthouse in the distance. As well, those dark brooding clouds provide an almost perfect compositional balance to the rain-soaked pier and the water below. |

Charles, I like the angles (and triangles) you have captured in this scene. You have brought out good detail in the cranes, and in the buildings beyond - long depth of field resulting in good sharpness from front to back, with a few people in the frame to give a sense of scale. I agree that this is an image that would really benefit from darker blues and more cloud detail in the sky. |

James, a beautiful, detailed shot. I like the way the lines of the building grab us and charge us into the frame. You have good tonal range in most of the image although I find the tree and shrub in the bottom left a bit dark and lacking in detail. I like both versions but feel BW is well suited to the subject. I don't mind your lighter sky and, although I appreciate Cindy's darker version and Chuck's suggestion of sky replacement, if it were up to me, I would want to make sure that what was happening in the sky didn't overshadow the viewer's focus on the building. |

Paul, the BW version of this is more effective than the colour, for sure. I agree with Cindy that the background is a bit bright, but the dark of the anchor could also be brought out more IMHO - maybe lower the overall exposure on the image and bring out more texture in the anchor as well. Perhaps shooting at a different angle (you'd have to experiment) - from above?, or shooting low with a wide angle lens from the chain end?, for example - would give you a more unique result. A different capture angle might also eliminate the shadows on the grass from the surrounding trees - to my eye these are a bit of a distraction. |
