I think you're putting too much right on the center lines. I know how it is...I've been doing the same thing myself lately...but I think some of these would be better if they weren't so centered. I love #2. #3 is awesome but the vignetting is too severe and this is one I'd like better if it weren't so centered (not sure how you could shoot it like that...but still). I wouldn't mind a little vignetting on this...it gives it an interesting feel...but just a little less would be good. #4 just doesn't have quite enough going on for me. #5...I know what you were going for but a eye-height completely centered photograph with a subject this simple is just not enough. I like what you were going for here, but I think you could capture it in a more interesting way.

As it is now, I can see that there's something out there and I wanna know what! :: inuk  Location: Burnaby BC. Gender: Male Freelance Thinking  |  Re: 5 <Reply # 5 on 2/17/2006 1:03 AM >   1. Love the lighting and tone, but found it boring. No real subject. 2. Good shot. Perhaps a sharper focus? I don't like the V effect, but that's hard to avoid. 3. Doesn't work for me. Try cropping the top or just avoiding the finger (?) at the top. The colour seems a little washed out. Here's a thought... *hope you don't mind* 4. I like everything but the framing. I really want to see more of whatever is on the left, but I can't. 5. As desmet said, too centered. More carpet, less ceiling. Try from a lower height, try laying down. Hope you find it constructive. :: Ninjako  Location: Winnipeg Gender: Male I Wonder What's In Here  |  Re: 5 <Reply # 6 on 2/23/2006 7:45 PM >   The 3rd photo doesn't do it for me either, may be too bright.. I enjoyed the rest of the set though!

I'm at work and don't have any image editing software however. Would you mind? nd31   |  Re: 5 <Reply # 8 on 2/25/2006 12:16 AM >   I like the fifth especially. I think the second is weak in comparison to the others. If you had been standing a bit further back, and it was less of a view up, it might be better--it's still well composed, however. :: inuk  Location: Burnaby BC. Gender: Male Freelance Thinking  |  Re: 5 <Reply # 9 on 2/25/2006 1:29 AM >   Posted by Ninjako I'm curious how number 3 would look in B&W .. Would you mind? Well, assuming my cropping wasn't an issue ... I have never shot b&w because I don't think I have that 'kind' of eye. This is a basic desaturation and mild increase in lightness. :: dev  Passed away September 23rd, 2006.  |  Re: 5 <Reply # 10 on 2/25/2006 6:39 AM >   1: wonderful. 2: perspective is a bitch. still. good. 3: vignette-o-matic 4: -1.3EV k thanks. 5: best of set. mada  Noble Donor Location: Orange County, California Gender: Male 23437  |  |  |  |  Re: 5 <Reply # 11 on 2/25/2006 7:40 AM >   I agree.

I like it less every time I see it. Posted by dev 4: -1.3EV k thanks. Pardon my ignorance but what? i'd love to see it minus 1 (and 1/3) stop(s). technically, i suppose, the exposure is right on, but i'd love it darker and more saturated. anyhow: here. photoshop: (-50, brightness) (+20, cyans, saturation) (local contrast "enhancement" (super-wide, low-cut USM)) just tell me if you want my re-mix of your image gone; i can delete it at any time. perhaps it's because my other two favourites from the set are very dark, and i want to make them match. /// [last edit 2/25/2006 8:06 AM by dev - edited 1 times] amybee  Location: queens nyc Gender: Female  |  |  Re: 5 <Reply # 13 on 2/25/2006 6:10 PM >   i really like #1, #4, and #5. i like that it feels abandoned. my favorite is probably 5 - it's very clean and a nice photo. nice work. trojansxc91  Gender: Male  |  Re: 5 <Reply # 14 on 2/28/2006 9:47 PM >   my favorite is the last one, i love the first one too nobody  Location: VANCOUVER B.C.

The image is just so strong. It makes it seem like it goes on forever. It was a good idea not to show the top of the building. I think it might've been a little better if the top windows were parallel with the top of the photo as well as the bottom. Dunno if you know what I mean by that, but it's a good photo. I like the last one, too. I like how it's not so busy. "We have to show these men and women freedom by enslaving them, and show them courage by frightening them." "At the time, my life just seemed too complete, and maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves." "This was freedom. Losing all hope was freedom."
