26 Sep 21 Comment I agree with your decision to flip the image, because it's more pleasant to the view. I wouldn't change anything in terms of composition, since all elements work well here. I'm undecided between the color and the B&W versions. In the B&W photo I would lightly increase the contrast. The color version is almost monochromatic (which should favor a B&W treatment), but it produces a more somber mood. As suggested by Belinda, saturating the reds in the boat should improve the color (flipped) picture. Sep 10th
26 Sep 21 Comment I would go with the more saturated image. I don't find it too posterized, while I find the final version a little flat and lacking texture. Also, the shadows are more striking in the saturated image. It is a busy composition, but I like it as it is. In spite of so many objects, the viewer goes directly to the door (and the window above it) squeezed between the two buildings. Sep 10th
26 Sep 21 Comment It feels as if the car is laughing at the viewer! I like the symmetrical composition and your cropping, taking the top of the car out of the image. To me, the muted tones are a plus. The trunks help frame the main subject, and I had preferred to have green pine trees also on the right side of the background (but they were not there!). There are many elements to explore here, and one can jump between them for a long time. I like the image a lot. Sep 10th
26 Sep 21 Comment The photo tells a story and the B&W rendering made it more powerful. I like his positioning on the picture and his expression, plus the rim light marking his arm. Some of the blowouts of the color image are still in this version, such as on his eyes and the spot on his cheek (not sure how much of it you can correct). The rendition of the out of focus person in the background looks washed out and not natural, but maybe that's how you captured it. I also find the fan touching his back a little distracting. Sep 10th
26 Sep 21 Comment I don't have anything to add in terms of composition and colors, since I like everything that I see here. It's a very graphic image, with a lot of geometrical elements that complement each other. You enhanced the original and avoided going overboard. Sep 10th
