dont really mind how the photos get critiqued..as long as you have an opinion then post it up..and yeah my folio so i can get some judgement on the photos i take
From your first post, photos 2, 3 and 4 are the good ones, IMO.
The first one seems to be off in composition. I have to imagine that the left of the photograph was your main subject. I would have done more to show this and the people standing around. The tree on the right hand side is more of a distraction than a piece of the composition.
Your floral photo is great, has nice clarity and DOF!
The monument photograph I actually had to put on a grid to see if it was straight, and found that it is. Maybe some kind of optical illusion, but when I turn off the grid, it looks like it's leaning to the left.
The locket photo is my favorite of them all! The only thing i would have done differently would have been to use a not so shallow DOF so that the chain wasn't so blurry in the foreground.
The last one, neither good nor bad in my opinion, is a fairly typical photograph. Try putting something in the foreground of your photos like this, or finding a interesting horizon line that adds something to the photograph. I'd also move the horizon line up to the 1/3 mark or around there.
Hope this helps, and remember these are only my opinion, someone else may come and say the complete opposite!
Nice pictures, especially the heart and the third picture, however the cars' photos - specifically the night pictures - the lighting in it is not nice, like you used a direct flash or something like that. I like the first picture of the R34 though!
Fokker: Hey didnt know you were on here. But the photos at the Rotorua museum.
Al-Wazeer: Thanks. Yeah the cars were taken with direct flash. The last few car pics, i wasnt very prepared and just had my flash, trigger and cam. was a late notice shoot but some turned out to the car owners liking. Yeah the 1st pic of the 34 is nice. Had the good ol sun
