Hello from the Critique Club!!!

Composition:

This is a very nicely composed shot and it is great to see that you keep trying to get the shot right for you.
Not all of us can see the beauty inside a computer but you have achieved it with this photo. I like the angle and the lighting. The view of the fan and crisp lime green adds to the overall appeal. I think this a perfect shot for Stock photography. Met the challenge �Outside Looking In� well

Background/ Foreground
The shallow DOF has the background blurred which is good since there is so much going on in the foreground.

Camera Work:

The focus is good and the colors are bright and crisp. The lighting is a okay but the white on the power is a bit over exposed. This takes away the some of the detail.

Post-Processing:
I think you got it all right in your editing.

My Opinion:
This is a nice shot, you took the time to go back and try it again from a different perspective and this time you achieved your goals. Each of us learns from each shot we take and the comment made from fellow DPC members. Good Job!

I hope you find these comments to be helpful, thank you for allowing me to critique your picture. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me via PM.

Best of luck in your future photographic endeavors,

Pretty Cool inside this baby

Hello from the Critique Club!!!

Composition:
This is a well composed shot. I like the angle. Makes you want to step inside and get a better look around and feel the (is that leather) seats. I am not sure the dice on the rearview mirror helps the picture. They are rather large and distracting. It takes away from the elegance of this picture. I like the lunch box on the seat. It adds a �real� touch to the picture. Although It would have been better (IMO) to have a plain old lunchbox with the same shape, maybe even a bit knocked around to add to the authentic look and feel. This has met the challenge well.

Background/ Foreground

The black in the windows works so it does not distract from the interior. The door jam in the front is distracting. I think cropping it out would not have changed the feel of picture at all.


Camera Work:

The picture is slightly out of focus. The handles on the door are a touch blurred as are the dials on the dashboard. I assume you used a tripod, sometimes when you do a long exposure when you take the picture it will cause the camera to move just a touch, enough to cause it to become slightly OOF. Using a delay timer or a remote would fix that problem.
It would appear that the focus was set for the seats as well; maybe if the angle was a touch to the left it would have also focused the dash and steering wheel. The lighting underneath the dash exposed some of the wiring, and added some slightly distracting shadows. You might try cloning that out or trying the shot again without the light on the bottom.

Post-Processing:
I think cropping out the light on the headliner and the door jam on the front left would have helped this shot.
I love the slight monotone and warmth of the picture it gives it a casual elegance, which is very appealing.

My Opinion:
Overall this picture is nice and with a few minor adjustments has the potential to be a fantastic shot.

Peak

Hello from the Critique Club!!!

Composition:

WOW! This picture reaches out and grabs you, you want to look at it because there is so much to see and none of it is busy. The lines of the mountain raise your eyes to the beautiful blue sky and then it brings them back down to the interesting foreground. Your photo has met the challenge well.

Background/ Foreground

The sky is sharp and the colors are bright and crisp. The foreground has just enough detail to hold your interest without taking away from the beautiful rock peak.

Camera Work:

As far as the technical aspect of the picture the shot has great focus and DOF.

Post-Processing:

After reading the comments made by the members you know that your photograph has made an impact on them as it did on me.

East Jersey State Prison - Better Off On The Outside!

Hello from the Critique Club!!!

Composition:

This picture could have made more of an impact if you had not centered it, or maybe changed the angle.
Shooting this angle caused the fence to blend into the bricks. The roof lines with the darker color add some interest as does the vents down the centers. This building has some very interesting lines and contrast and you should think about going back and trying different angles and lighting.


Background/ Foreground

The sky is perfect, good focus, for this picture a more foreboding sky would make a stronger statement.

My Opinion:

My guess is that you wanted to make a statement with your picture; this is where lighting and angles come into play. Unless there is a security issue at the prison, I would go back and try this shot again. The bones are there to take a picture that will make an impact.

I hope you find these comments to be helpful, thank you for allowing me to critique your picture. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me via PM.

Best of luck in your future photographic endeavors, and it looks like congratulations on the new addition to your family.
Also love the picture of Lucky; we have two labs, a chocolate and a yellow, and one day hope to get a beautiful black lab to complete the set.

Why me?
by ShutterPug

Comment:
Nice twist on the idea... This would be a great picture to use for a caption contest.
Although Why Me? fits perfectly
on the photo side cropped a tad to close on the left.. I assume it was because of a hand holding the arrow.. but a solid 7 in my book...
