i like your pic but feel the left wooden wall is a bit over powering. 5
looking at this again. I can see what you intended. The wooden left is a strong, and quite beautiful feature. However, the faceless aspect of the competition now gets swallowed by the 'prop'. The rule of thirds is a rule, but not, imo, a hard and fast rule and should not impede on your creativity or the subject at hand. Look again, which ever way I look at it, think about it, the wood is hampering my 'good' feeling. amazingly enough I had this on a 6 during my 1st and 2 nd run, in the 3rd run I brought it down. well, lets be honest this pic is worth more than below average 5 so i freely and willingly bump it back up to my initial feeling. Play with the pic... it's a good one, play with the crop and contrast, play with levels and curves... this is one pic where monochrome was the right choice...yip, it definately is worth more than a 5.. bump to 6 as i had it. |
