This is not your average monochrome shot. I like the angles and composition leading to the exit. Black and white are not actually colors so the sepia tone tricks our eyes into seeing colors when there is only black and white. Sepia is a blackish ink from the cuttlefish so I believe this qualifies as monochrome. There's more to it than what meets the eyes. |

Thank you for your reply. I have it all wrong. Some of the old cannons used a friction primer setup so the firing pin must have been an improvement. I didn't mean to say your photo is a macro. I took a picture of a dam that some say was not a close-up due to it's size. I was close-up to the dam when I took the shot. Some say you can do the Moon as a close-up. I'm still trying to define the parameters. Also thank you for your service. My parents were photographers in the Navy.
Submit the whole cannon next time, it's a beautiful subject, quality shot and I believe definetely Close-up.

So close and crystal clear. You can even see copper oxide traces. I would like to see the whole cannon with emphasis on the firing pin. Everyone has their definition of a close-up. I believe it can be any subject as long as it's closer than usual and not enlarge beyond reason. The pin does look like actual size in this frame although it's facing down and every cannon fires differently so I'm trying to imagine how this worked. Excellent subject.
I rotated and aimed slightly up. Is this how it fires? |

There's something special about this shot. It looks so alive and healthy. It's really a high quality shot and you could crop several other close-ups from this frame. I believe it's the time of day producing the perfect light added with your choice of camera settings. Some people will wait hours for just the right light. |

Good subject, composition and background. I believe a close-up is a subject shown closer than usual long as it's not enlarged beyond reason. |

My first look at the original made me think of 3D printing. I get a positive feeling from this frame and it lasts. You outdid yourself on editing which I need more instruction and experience. My only critique is the upper part of the shirt seems slightly out of the field of focus. I'm finding when focusing in on a shot, back up an inch to a step even though you think you are spot on to get focus perfection. The hands, ears and face are in focus yet not the upper robe or maybe I'm wrong. |

This is great use of composition and perspective. No need to see the whole truck when all you need are in this shot. A quality I find very hard to capture and rare in opportunity. Lines above indicate an engine compartment and curves indicate wheels. Approaching a century of weathering, the quality of the engineering and production still shines through.
I took some shots of an old truck too for August, thought you might enjoy. |

The simplicity of this frame is refreshing yet a closer looks starts to reveal patterns and details that some may overlook. I like the soft lights and reflections of the water drops and leaf surface. The vein pattern of the leaf reminds me of the French symbol Fleur-de-lis. Could your favorite plant be a lily? |

A good capture of a lively and fun street scene. Multiple activities happening. Composition works with perspective and the umbrella guy gives it balance. The streets would be dead without people. |
