Martin, I didn't recognize his name offhand, but realized, after I looked him up, that I had seen Stefan Draschan's work previously. Your efforts would do him proud. |

What fun, Martin! Good insight to arrange the spur of the moment scene.
I am familiar with the artist Yayoi Kusama and her work with infinity mirrors. I've seen her work at 3 different locations - each a different theme - here in the states.
I appreciate your post production efforts to match the live-subject to the mural. Also, being able to change the angular perspective to a straight-on looking image was very well done.

What an exciting perspective, Jaqueline.
I just got a new 100-400 Tamron lens and haven't had it out yet to play with it, but was glad to see your image at 400mm.
I feel that the position of the yellow ball is a distraction. It's too centered on the lead players face. The level of action and the sense that you (the viewer) are actually the lone defensive person trying to prevent the LAX team from scoring gives a strong feeling of being on the field. Fast shutter speed is critical in these scenarios. Martin spoke well of the shutter speed rule relative to focal length. |

Hi Ellen. Welcome to our group. It's a great way to get constructive critiquing and grow in the craft of photography.
I'm a bit late to the show this month, to the extent that I failed to get my image submitted on time. I, too, ended up with Covid.
The previous suggestions regarding the soft focus and getting your camera off of the automatic settings are spot-on, as is the reference to getting the complete horse (tail and all) into the frame. The bottom-most hoof is nearly off the edge, too.
It's a learning process. Well done.

Shirley, It certainly looks like you were having fun with these glass pieces. Love the colors and textures.
The DOF works well to be able to show off the swirls and patterns with each piece.
Now that others have pointed out the "defects" in the glass, they do become a distraction.
Keep on experimenting like this. It's fun. |

Piers, My apologies for being late to the show this month - so much so that I failed to get an image of my own submitted. As it turns out, I, too, contracted Covid.
One of the benefits of arriving late is seeing the previous critiques and suggestions already posted.
My initial impression of your image was a WOW, realizing that the entire scene looked a bit "unworldly". As I read through the others input, I fully agreed with their suggestions re: cropping out much of the sky, centering the predominant 'dow", and eliminating the pink-glowing building that provided too much distraction.
With this type of harbor scene, I could easily envision a panoramic version here, but the final cropping done by Stuart makes a nice version.
well done! |
