You have allot of things going on in there. None of them really working with anything. I would try to isolate a little more. For example, taking a photo of the car with only the wall in the background.
They work together historically in that the section of the bridge you see was built in 1910. The car is early 1900s and the abandoned building is certainly not remotely recent either.
Perhaps you are suggesting it would be better with the bridge taken out?
You could not have just the wall as you suggest without the doors and/or part of the roof. I was also trying to shoot it as a scenic, not just a car shot, which was why I did not shoot superclose in the first place.

suxxx, read a book. HAHA
Skieur,
Since you're probably all fired up right now, for some reason this instance brings to mind the situation of quantity of thread starts in this gallery.
I think there's a couple of folks that are nearing abuse with the time they take from not only the critics, but from others who get pushed down in the pile from superfluous threads being posted over these photographers who really could use the help.
Sometimes it just seems like this is turning into an exclusive gallery for a couple who wish to have viewers faun over their work when they would get just as much praise in the forums.
I think limiting the critique requests to one per week would be more than fair. Just wondering if you have any thoughts on the subject?
Frankly skieur, until you have those qualities yourself, your suggestion holds no weight.Frankly Abraxas, I think that beginners are not ready to be posting in Critical Analysis, and their photos should be moved to the galleries instead. Comments and critique should be solidly based in photography and posters should be willing to listen to and logically discuss critiques.
I am also amazed at "the blind leading the blinder" in some of these threads. No one should be posting in General Critique who says that a 2 stop underexposed or overexposed shot is spot on or that a fuzzy photo is in focus. Again, General Critique should not be for beginners.

You apparently missed the point. I was simply saying that you don't have enough experience with the medium to point fingers at beginners.You should read the guidelines too. I don't think expletives such as "suxx" qualify as critique that should be listened to.

All your suggestions are sound, but changing the vantage point could greatly complicate other elements he's trying to put together: the car, warehouse, bridge.Okay.. to get this topic back on.
- I am positive I see that you cloned the building the background out. Why not get lower and step a few paces to the right and hide it with the building?
True, but it's hard to give good judgment. The image doesn't give three dimensional information for your brain to rotate it and visualize how it'll look at different vantage points. You could get a rough idea, but then you wouldn't know the actual impact on your eyes.Not necessarily. By moving to the right, the bridge will likelystilll be visible above the building and I personally would rather like seeing just the back of the car - it simplifies and unifies the lines.
(Beats cloning)
