Positives:
Your perspective allows you to include a lot for viewers to see and think about in a nicely arranged composition that is image processed well.
Technicals:
Image done technically well and very appropritaely as a black and white for the subject. Sharpness good and choice of central focal point works well with the depth of field(DOF). Cropped out Mikky D's Arches nicely! High contrast treatment adds to its visual impact.
The interest objects in the composition are very closely cropped to the edge of the frame. The background building doesn't add much and acts as a viewer distraction.
The Challenge:
Finished 106/302 so positionally speaking it is well above average though the score indicates it is only slghtly above average. The scattering of low scores probably resulted from a couple fringe voters the didn't think it was religious enough for their taste or inappropriate. No biggie.
Suggestions:
This is a fairly long exposure at a high f/stop probably needed to get the distant sign in sharp focus so there is probably nothing you can do to soften the background buildings in-camera. But you might select and blur the background building more in post to lessen it's distracting effects.
Consider widening the composition slightly on the left, right and bottom to keep interest objects from being so close to the edges. Looks like you got framing to work with though you'll have to do some post processing to keep the added space from becoming a distraction itself. |
