Last one is my favorite, shouldn't have had such a close crop on the cologne bottle. Just my $.02

Coming from one new guy to another, to me its about half and half. I see some good shots imo and then i also see some that just seem like snapshots. The ones that i do like are pretty good though, i like the one with the silver balls and the last one is good too. It seems like you will make great progress as i hope to also. Keep up the good work!

AR, welcome.
Please try hardest not to alienate people on here by your way of writing.
Write like we all do.
Please.

Personally, I don't like the colour manipulations and colourful frames at all.
The lone shoe looks accidental.
The reflecting balls (second photo?) are nicely captured, so is the bottle of Cologne, but I also strongly feel that you cropped in too closely and better shouldn't have lost the top and bottom.
I also quite like the lines and overall composition of what I think is Photo 5 --- one tip: if you post as many photos as you did now, do make sure there are a) SPACES between them, and that b) your photos are numbered.

And re-think your way of writing... friendly advice.

maybe his spacebar is broken.....

LaFoto · May 14, 2007

Yes, maybe. And the Q key has moved over to where the O is and all...

To my opinion your colour shots are very Kitsch, specialy with these borders
and B&W have a deficient composition and without composition B&W shots are not attractive.

Your picture look like the results of afunny game, but if you had a good time that s already a good point

AR3 · May 14, 2007

I will switch up the writing

A funny game? I really dont know what you mean?

The contrast and composition isn't that bad is it?

RedDevilUK · May 14, 2007

Overall, a good selection of varied shots

They are really a case of "something for everyone" some will agree on what they like and others wont.

the one thing that comes across here though, is your imagination... your trying out different ideas, and thats a good thing.

Keep up the good work

Well, if critique is what ye wants, critique is what ye gets....

1: Don't like the soft focus and the composition is off.....whats the subject of the photo, the stone pillar or the water fountain? You see what I mean?

2: Decent composition and exposure. Its by far the best of the lot.

3: Not a good crop and black and white does not do this subject justice. To flat tonaly.

4: Good focus and ok composition, but the subject is a bit boring and again, there is a lack of good tone.

5: Focus and compositionok.....but again, boring subject.

6: Good focus......but here we have a) lack of a good tonal range, b) no definitive subject, c) a bit busy and d) boring subject.

7: Bad focus, poor composition, boring subject.

8: Same as above

9: As Lafoto said.....looks incidental

10, 11, 12, 13: Colors don't do anything for me, and they all lack a good subject. 11 might work without the color and if you get down closer to the ground to get that "disappearing" look.

14: Not bad compositionally and subeject wise.....still a tad on the boring side, but not as bad as the others. Biggest problem is the can top is too hot.

Is that the kind of critique you wanted? :mrgreen:
