You had good leading lines on this one, but the use of shallow depth of field, though a wonderful tool for defined, single subjects did not work for this composition. It needed to be focused from top to bottom to have gotten a better response. Anyway, I was one that gave it a 4 and I think the reasons were focus, too low a contrast, a bit light on saturation, and I found the subject to be unexciting. You do have a good eye for composition, also. That is my strongest point as well, but I am discovering that composition is not something that many voters put much precedence into. I am still searching for the magic, so join the club. Let's keep on comparing our photos for the challenges and see who does best in the future, than we can talk about it. I am marking you as a favorite photographer and we can all be part of the brown nose club.(lol) |
