Greetings from the Critique Club.
Good capture of a bridge and airplane. The triangle is very easy to recognize but the plane is a bit out of range. This leaves the frame a bit disconnected. The idea is a good one, but there are several factors to look at. The distance between the bridge and airplane is far. This creates a distraction for the viewer. You can almost miss the airplane.
Your position for taking this photo is good. Right in the middle of the bridge and the airplane above. I wonder if you knew if and when the airplane was going to pass by.
Technically the image suffers from being blurry all around. This could be due no tripod photo taking, or too much compression during post processing. You must know the obvious about the tripod, so I will comment about the post processing. For the DPChallenge, try and come as close to the 150K limit as possible. Also try saving your photo file to special DPC folder. Don't optimize your file for the web, instead use the "save as" Then later check the file size again before uploading to the DPC site.
JPEG files tend to be weak pixel file format. Everytime you open, save or resize, its loses some more resolution.
You have a good DSLR, also try and shoot at the highest resolution possible. Check your user guide to customize and use the "parameters settings, they can boost some of your color, constrast and sharpness as well.
Good luck in your next DPChallenge. Zagman |
