I think this is a good picture. well composed and exposed. In my view 2:3 crop landscape would fit it more and allow for the road on the left to show inside versus on the margin. The S shape of the road adds a lot.
Well done

For me the most interesting aspect is how you managed to capture well the relationship between the house and its soundings, how the architect visioned nature flowing through the house. The curved concrete beams emerging from the corner as a leading line adds to the esthetic of the picture. Nicely done. |

I Like the yellow spot lights over the green background. I like the positioning of the spotlights in the corner and the fog tells the rest of the story. No doubt - this is a good picture. |

Hi Arne, indeed breathtaking. i like the waterfall at the end of the dark leading line ( the edge of the cliff). However, I do think it is missed out by the shear size. See my proposed crop. Next - is white balance - emphasize the yellow it will give the picture warmth and depth. |

Usually, Isolated subjects are static. However, your choice of diagonal perspective although the isolation of the subject does not make it static at all. In fact it helps tell the story and adds interest posing the question whats behind the trees ?. The editing of the sky is splendid and for me the little bit grain / noise texture is interesting. I like the picture and I find it very interesting. well done !

Lance,
Yes Cropping is traditional. Yes cropping is accepted. Yes "rules" are personal and they can even be different for different projects. But how can you become better when everything is allowed and where there are no rules ?
And for that - your rules to live by make your personal fingerprint attitude and language in sculpturing, photography painting and music.

Changing the crop according the desired result, is equal in my view to painting the bull's eye target around the spot your arrow is. I rather have you as a photographer, aim and execute your intent. It will push you further and help you develop your skills. |

the intensity of the top middle is the INTENT :) It tells the story of the divine light shining upon the little people inside the whale. Or at least this is the story by the Arc' |

Thanks Mark,
The people as black spots / ants are required to balance the the high key and to give a sense of size and volume to the space. Multiple exposures will create either ghosting (if expo is not short enough) or eliminate them completely to a big void. Either way back to square one - I needed the black spots. Do not skip this photo opportunity. The Oculus is a must while you are in NY. Enjoy ! |

Hi Michael,
1. Cant crop the rail without changing 2:3 ratio. and the centerline of the spine of the whale is required. therefore it remains as is.
2. the intent was high key and exposure was for high key.
3. Yes indeed a big stopper 10X ND is the preferred almost a must but i take what i can :) |

This is good portrait photography. The lighting is 45 degrees on the side and 45 degrees from the top - a classical Rembrandt. The framing of the subject between the black lines is accurate and he has the tools of his trade telling he is a working man. Nicely done. |

A very good picture. one thought - higher contrast and a bit more brighter exposure. Nothing to touch.

1. there is a dialog between the stump and the balloon. White vs black; grounded vs in air ;sharp vs round ;fixed vs moving.
2. the open aperture is a key here. it brings the balloon out. my "goto" in street is f4-5.6 at most

photography is hard. to get results and become better demand 2 things: 1. practice (preferred projects) 2. rules.I'll explain: How can you become better in a game that has no rules ? well you won't because everything is allowed. Rules make you aware and develop attention. You can have different rules for different projects. I only 2:3 ratio. And if 2:3 is not good the picture? - my bad. I go out and shoot it again. I will NOT use the picture. Example: my friend shoots landscape only 16:9. when I shoot street - only 28 or 35 mm lenses. Set rules and try. See how hard it is and how far it pushes you.
looking at your picture - the depth of field the choice of encapsulating the balloons between the black lines making it superb! feel free to drop me an email abensenior75@gmail.com I can send you some reading materials etc. |

I would call it the dancing silhouette. It is artful. I work on projects. I wonder under what subject / project name this one will fall ?. I agree with Mark this is intriguing. |

Interesting picture. I like to tonality following the 4 layers from front to back. How is the background behind the glacier is darker following exactly the glacier's line ? |
