32 Oct 19 Comment thanks. That is what I need, because I do get acceptances but I want to go higher. Oct 13th
32 Oct 19 Reply So now I have about 50% like it one way and 50% like it the other! Oct 13th
32 Oct 19 Reply Again i agree with Jennifer. The letterbox shape does help. Oct 13th
32 Oct 19 Reply I agree with you. Don't produce for the judges because you should create what you like. On the other hand, take note of what they say because they will pick up deficiencies in your image which you won't have noticed because you are too emotionally tied in to your picture and your brain simply doesn't 'see' the faults. Oct 13th
32 Oct 19 Reply No, I hadn't thought of lightening the people because I was concentrating on the form of the building and barely noticed them! i will try it and see what difference it makes. Thanks. Oct 13th
32 Oct 19 Reply Do you think it is better after the horizontal flip? Oct 10th
32 Oct 19 Comment I tend to agree with Stephen here. The framing is too tight at the top, when you've got so much space at the bottom. Cropping the bottom would make the shot more dynamic. The face has gone a bit dark in the mono.
The mono is much better than the colour, which comes across as fairly ordinary. However, it's better than I've ever managed as I'm not really good at sports photos.		 Oct 10th
32 Oct 19 Comment I think you have to decide what you want to portray here. If the concept is isolated prairie house, then go for the wide angle look and make the barn smaller in the frame. Of course I can't see what is located near this barn so it may not be possible. If you want to show the structure, then you have the right crop already. If you want to show the texture of the barn, then you will have to go closer still
I actually like the framing as it is. I might increase the darkness of the sky with a ND filter and darken the grass at the base so the building stands out even more from the surroundings.		 Oct 10th
32 Oct 19 Comment I tend to assess pictures from the point of view of a judge who will only see the image for a short space of time and is judging on pictorialism initially. If the picture was taken a a record of a family outing then my cropping isn't necessary at all. However, if entering in a mono comp, then the composition becomes much more relevant. In fact, if I was going to use this, I probably would have flipped the whole image and not just the figures so the 'reading' was from left to right.. The mountain is so far in the distance that it is barely visible and not really the main point of the image -the spacing of the trees and the placing of the figures are the main focus of attention. Oct 10th
32 Oct 19 Comment Ok so you agree that it wasn't level then. I wondered about whether it was just my eyes
Oct 9th
32 Oct 19 Comment OK, I took a different view of this. I like the tighter crop made by Stuart and that was actually my first step since Stephen had suggested it, but then I felt the right hand side was weakened and I preferred the people not to be so much in the centre, so i decided to crop and then flip them so they were looking into the frame. I didn't do it very well but I hope you get the idea. I do think the diagonal path needs to go. The contrast looked well on my monitor. Oct 9th
