Im back, C&C please?

[Ajlista]

I don't think anyone had realized, haha but i've been gone for quite some time, I broke my hip, which isn't commonly known amongst 14 year olds. But they called it a skippy, and blah blah blah, crutches for six weeks blah blah blah, but i have almost made my full recovery, and ive just been really busy, but trying to take as many pictures as i can, but being limited, having to cancel my camping trip, and a few days in the city, but i scraped up some photos from right before the surgery and, would like a little c&c please They are all pretty random

#1 I like it, but I think this one could benefit from a little cropping of the right side
#2 hmm, can't say it's bad, but I don't like it. It doesn't do anything for me. Have you considered tighter crop?
#3 Slightly underexposed. Was that silo really tilted like this?

 

[Ajlista]

Thanks, really looking at it, i kinda see what you're saying for 2
As for the silo, yeah it is tilted, its been boarded up and broken and been through a few winters of ALOT of heavy snow in upstate newyork, so its pretty titled

1 - I like this one a lot. There are a lot of patterns and lines working in this one. I'm wondering though if it might have had more impat if you'd gotten just a bit more of the far end of the bridge...not showing the roadway, just that there was an end to the bridge so to speak. Just a thought and a hard one to explain.

2. Not very interesting as is. Perhaps a tighter crop showing just the flowers might have worked better.

3. I like this one, but I think I would have left a bit more sky at the top and since the silo tilts a bit to the left, I'd probably have cropped a bit more off the right hand side of the pic -or left more open space on the left so the silo wasn't centered.

I took the liberty to brighten #1 a little, correct the sky colour, straighten the lines a little and reduce the noise Whadya think?

 

[Ajlista]

I think it looks a hell of a lot better now! I really need to get into editing, lol

 

[Compaq]

Hehe, I thought it was better as well. I really like your photo, great use of lines and patterns. It took me a couple of seconds to realise it's a bridge. Maybe I'm just slow
A couple of easy steps to do minor corrections. What I did was a curves adjustment to make it brighter and increase contrast, free transform tool to straighten lines, adjusted the hue of the sky to make it more blue-ish and used Topaz denoise to reduce the noise. There wasn't much noise to begin with, but I thought "what the heck, finally a chance to try it out" lol. It took me around 2 minutes, perhaps.

 

[Ajlista]

I, really... reallly..REALLY. Gotta learn how to edit, if it means i can do that in two minutes Haha

1- Love it edited
2- just a flower
3- has potential w. editing

im still learning, too, so I don't know if this is better in b & w or not

 

[Noonz]

I love the first photo! I think it would even look great in B&W
The second photo really doesn't do much for me
The last photo has great potential! If you decide to give it another go.. try to not centre the image. I know the rule of thirds can be broken at times, however, i do not believe this subject it suited for such rebellion

Cheers

Glad you're recovering well! :sillysmi:

 

[eric rose]

love the B&W treatment of the silo!

 

[Ajlista]

Thanks everyone, i do like the black and white one, makes the picture more interesting, next time i go up, i want to redo- this shot, and other potentialy good shots, like old broken down barns and such
Thanks

Great edit on the silo! And here is my edit on the first image. It had a dull and over-warmed tone, which i tried to adjust.

 

[Ajlista]

Nice edit, i think that all the edits, look 10x better than the original, i was messing around with photoshop last night, just taking random pictures and editing them, even if the edit was horrible, than... my photoshop trial ended, lol, My friend has a copy of the adobe series with cs5 i think, and i am EXTREMELY lucky that hes giving it to me, so i can further mess with some stuff, for now ill just try with gimp and what not
