Insomniaby Sting11165Comment by Judi: Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:
Composition: Okay...I like the idea. And yes, insomnia generally takes place in the bedroom...but again, this image is cluttered. Try and keep the image with as little details as possible. Ask yourself......does this item or that item need to be there. Also, I feel those shelves really cut the image up....they enclose the story and the majority of the image into the bottom two thirds...and that can hurt the score.
Technical: I understand why you chose BW tonings...to make the viewer work out the story without the colours doing all the work. But you need to work on the tonings themself. A dramatic and draining scene such as this really needs heavy tones...to express the mood straight up to the viewer.
Overall: I feel you were on the right track...and you knew what you wanted, but you became frustrated at not being able to put it into one story. Keep trying and watch details. Ask yourself if that needs to be in the image and work it from there. Draw the image on paper and build it from there. You will find that half the clutter wouldn't have made it to the piece of paper...so why should it make it to the final photo. Good luck and keep experimenting. |

MUNIby Sting11165Comment by e301: I don't find any real interest in this image. Simply visually, its a confusing and not everso well composed picture. The slight motion-blur of the background somehow isn't enough to impart a sense of much motion to the tram - perhaps because of the inevitable blurs and streaks one would expect from a near-night-time urban shot. I also don't see anything in the figures in the tram, nor relation to the outside of it. I'd be interested to know what you see in it yourself - I just have the feeling I might be missing something here. |
