12 Oct 23 Reply Yes, great crop because this totally keeps my eye in the picture. Now the point of the picture is dramatically the interaction between the referee and the riders. Oct 22nd
12 Oct 23 Comment I think you achieved your desired result of a fun, fisheye image. I find the items themselves fun to look at as interesting shapes almost silhouetted against the sky. The whirligigs look like airplanes to me. I thought you were maybe at an Air Force base. The fisheye look and that gorgeous sunburst are what attract me the most. The top right section of the picture with the starburst and the silhouetted "wings" against the clouds would make an interesting image, too. Oct 9th
12 Oct 23 Comment Unique composition, too. All the important individual components of the picture are well positioned for me to immediately understand the story. Your picture reminds me of the few times I've been to a rodeo. This is one of the few rodeo photos I've seen where the background isn't a bunch of distracting signs and people in the stands. That is hard to do! I think you used the technique of shallow depth of field to its advantage. Oct 9th
12 Oct 23 Comment When I first saw this, I couldn't figure it out! That's a good thing! Now I understand why the pretty blue sky is at the bottom of the picture. After I read the explanation, I wish I had seen this one day earlier because I was eating dinner on exactly this kind of table! I must try this next time I'm there. The diagonally placed silverware adds interest for me and makes this still life more dynamic looking. I don't know if you arranged that way on purpose. Oct 9th
12 Oct 23 Comment Looking up or down a flower stem is a good unusual angle shot. You've aroused my interest in going to look at the undersides of future flowers I see. We do tend to forget that when taking flower pics. I've learned to make such an image less static by not composing with equal margins. By that, I mean that the area between the top of your flower (as pictured but not the top of the actual flower) is the same distance from the edge of the frame as the stem. If you tilt the camera or the post-edit crop to make the margins unequal, even a little bit, the image is more dynamic. I am a static photographer and have to remind myself all the time! Oct 9th
12 Oct 23 Comment Your camera angle has made this an eye-grabbing shot. Makes me wish I could see the environment in person. Must have been really interesting. I'd suggest removing the distraction items in the upper left and upper right...and I see that Joan's cropping did exactly that. Now the image looks less like a snapshot and more of an artful capture. For some reason I can't explain, I like the color version better, perhaps because the blue color looks so pretty to me! I guess I should find that piece of color to be distracting in a negative way but instead, I find it of supplemental interest in a good way! Oct 9th
