Crit/Comment please

Nicely done. This is one that would take a lot of lighting and equipment to make any better than it is now, unless it was done as an HDR. The only real comment I can offer is that the highlights in the centre window(?) area are just a little too bright.

I like the lighting, but find the shot somewhat chaotic. I'm having a hard time finding a subject. There are small parts of three jugs/bottles in the foreground of the shot which are out of focus, and then a lot of beakers and test tubes beyond that kind of mesh into each other...it would be nice to see a unique bottle or test tube in focus taking up a lot of the frame with the rest in the background maybe?

I really like it.

The small version that you posted just looks kind of busy. But the big version that you linked to is great. Where was this taken if you dont mind me asking?

 

[CameronSmith]

Thanks for all the comments!

If you read the DA It says where it was taken.

But its taken at the Edison/Ford estate.

Fort Myers FL

Any more?

 

[Jeff Canes]

i'm not high on the bottle in the foreground, but there is not much you can do about them

 

[CameronSmith]

Yeah I agree they suck

 

[yellowjeep]

I dont mind them at all actually it lets me know how expansive everything is

I really like this photo.
I do think the window is just a little bit too bright for my tastes...
and personally, there is chaos that can work if done right, and I think this works.

the bottles in the forground work for me because of that "organized chaos" feel the whole photo has.
