I think the composition here is lacking; You can't just cut a building off a few feet from the ground and sow the sky above. Also the lampost is a bit too much; the light looks fake and digital.

The borfer is a great Idead, but nothing can overcome the problems with angle and composition.

I love Krakow, the light source in the right just gives me the medievil feel of this BEAUTIFUL city. Very Impressed. 9

I love the borders. I wish the clouds didn't have any noise. You can take care of that in photoshop by using the blurring brush tool at about 15-20%, or "despeckling" (i usually use the spot fixer brush tool to blur though because sometimes despeckle takes out needed detail).

Nicely timed exposure, the picture benefits from having a bit of detail in the sky.

I think the border was a bad idea in this shot it is fairly distracting and dosen't add anything imo.

The extra sky on the left really works to give the building a sense of presence, the lamp serves to provide an almost ironic illusion of lighting the building - very creative inclusion, well done

well executed shot but the composition is weak, you should have moved a few steps to get that street light out of the frame; the border is gimmicky

Interesting lighting but composition could be improved. I'd like to see the bottom of the building...and crop a lot off the left side. The hanging light on the right is nice.

The lamp on the left is a fun touch. Lovely sky.

I don't understand your composition choice, a beautiful complementary color contrast there but the composition is not the best I think.

Well taken shot... nice colors of church and sky. But i must say croping is bit strange...too much empty space behind church.

a lot of empty space in frame makes it feel imcomplete
10/18/2004 02:20:35 PM

And respect to you for fighting the temptation to rotate the camera 90 degrees to do a portrait orientated shot. the use of negative space certainly works in terms of composition. the colours are wonderfully rich, the brickwork contrasting well with the purply sky. I think the street lamp is a bit unwanted - kind of mucks about with the scale of the church making it seemingly less impressive. can't decide if i like the border - in terms of presentation it's a bit like one of those paintings with the picture flowing over and into the frame, an effect which i never liked much. it is a nice picture, gorgeous building and lovely sky... 7.

This shot appears very well taken. I like the interesting border, but the composition, while creative, is just not working for me.
