1. either focus more on the ceiling or less. i feel a new angle is needed maybe drop down and the the left.

2.it's a bit crooked

3. i feel like you could focus more on the chain

4. wouldn't change anything

5. the phone isn't in focus, i guess the wall is, the focus needs to be shifted to the right slightly.

if your using auto focus don't.



went back and looked at the rest of the pictures, do you feel that these are weaker? a lot of the others picture have better subject matter and are better composed.

I am far from a photographer, but I know when pictures look nice to me.

1. I would crop it. I like the darkness with the light blasting through in the center. If it were smaller, or had less edge, then it wouldn't look as dark overall and the blasting light would be more obvious.

2. This may be because I am not a photographer, because I really love this one. Maybe center it horizontally on the AC units more but I love the depth of the ceiling and all the pipe work.

3. Crop out some of the right side. I like the detail of the window and the cracked paint. If the chain was focused it would be better. I still like it though.

4. Center on the right half of the rolling sign. Crop the right as its dark and uninteresting.

5. Lighter and focused on the phone.


Doesn't mean much since I'm a lurker, but I enjoyed these and added them to my desktop picture rotation(but I might run them through Photoshop to see if my suggestions hold any juice).

1. Agreeing with the masses, too much ceiling. While the indirect lighting is nice, the daylight coming in through the windows is atomic. The entire shot would be way better if it was taken when exterior lighting conditions weren't so bright (ie:dusk). If that's not possible, although I'm not typically fond of HDR, I would like to see how this one would turn out using exposure fusing.

In places with a lot of windows in the daytime you have to look for alternative ways to shoot inside, because the blown highlights in the windows are usually going to kill the fuck out of your shot.

2. Better than above. And I wouldn't necessarily say that there's too much ceiling, but the distortion in the poles is bothersome to me.

3. Does nothing for me. But if you're looking for technicals, it's underexposed, and it's very uninteresting.

4. The message board seems out of place for some reason. It doesn't mesh with the whole industrial / factory setting.

5. The phone should be moved over more to the right by another phone width and if it's the subject of the photo it needs to have more light on it. Since the light pouring into the frame from the windows is so intense the highlights are very distracting from the phone.

+1 on good job.

1) The ceiling isn't interesting enough to be the subject of the photograph. Eyes are drawn to dark areas. Also, perspective correct in photoshop to get the vertical lines vertical. Camera should have been repositioned a little to the right or a little bit more to the left.

2) Perspective correct. Photo isn't symmetrical enough to be symmetrical, nor is it asymmetrical enough to be interesting. Composition looks accidental, not deliberate.

3) I'm not sure the subject of this photograph is interesting enough.

4) Good verticals. Best in the set. Could use some lens correction to remove some of the barrel distortion.

5) Out of focus subject.
