First one, I think is awesome.

Second one is also very good.

Third one, I don't like how the sun? is hitting that door on one side. Seems distracting, not in a good way. I think the picture would be much better without that sunshine...

The first one is nice enough, but maybe living in a relatively asylum-free area, I can only take so many fading hallway/peeling paint/open doorway shots before they all start to look the same.

The second one, I have to say, it's a rare day when I can actually really dig a toilet shot. You've elevated the standard ue snapshot to art there, it's probably the blue wall that does it. Speaking of which, there seems to be a very slight blue colo(u)r cast overall, I notice it in the white background on the wall, but it's slight enough to be a personal taste thing too. Nice work, I'd hang that on my bathroom wall.

The third one is perfectly composed, a nice shot, but Jester's right, the sunlight should either stretch across both doors or not be there. It'd be a nice effect though, maybe an hour later or earlier in the day, depending what time it was you shot it.

My two cents.

yep.

I love the color and composition of the second image. The first and third are good images, just feel like I've seen too many similar shots.

I'm impressed with the first one because you managed to keep all the lighter parts from sort of "bleaching" out (like so often happens), but even though you subdued that contrast you still managed to keep the picture from looking bland with that touch of blue in the distance. Really nice.

Danger is his reward.

I've shot a few toilet photos and they turn out... crap :'(

I like how the button balances the photos, and the contrast of the symmetry in the bowl to the chaotic seemingly random paint flakage. As said above, the blue makes it dope.

sentence structure... lacking.

The first one really is beautifully done. You can still see all the shadow details which is nice. I just wish the picture over all was a little brighter. You should probably bracket your shots when you're in these darker interior situations.

The second is nice. But not very interesting. For some reason the paint chippy wall is more interesting than the toilet. I guess it's because I've seen so many toilet pictures.


The third one would be perfect if the sunbeams weren't hitting the door on the right.


Over all Mr. Unit, your photos are very well composed. However, I suspect that your still using a cheap point and shoot digital camera. If you are then I recommend you either upgrade to a higher quality digi cam or grab a 35mm SLR and start shooting film

If I'm wrong about the camera then nevermind.

Very nice work.

Actually yes, unfortunately, due to my budget, I am using a semi-point and shoot camera, which I play with the manual settings on. I try my best to make it appear that I'm not using one. I'm upgrading pretty soon to a nice SLR, so hopefully my picture quality will improve.

Thank you, and everyone, though for the comments and criticism, I really do appreciate it.

I like the sunlight on the door because it's a very symmetrical photo, except for that. Which I think makes it all the more awesome.
Maybe I could explain myself better if it weren't 2am, but I really think that picture would lose a lot of it's splendor if that sunlight weren't there.

2nd one reminds me of marcel duchamp...


Kabbalah is an undramatic tradition that requires great patience and stability. One of the reasons for this tempo is that everyone has to mature his potential gradually and thoroughly at his natural pace. In this way his life's work unfolds at the right moment in his own and the cosmos's time.

I think all 3 of then are superb! They are better than anything I could even dream of doing but the third one is by far my favorite.

Exploring is like tattoos... They stopped being cool in 2005
