|  | | | I've been practicing my photography skills at the asylum right down the street from me. I would appreciate some critique on my latest roll.

| | | | I like them too. I also have an asylum down the street from me but it's not as cool. I'm debating posting pictures of it.

| | | | Your work seems to get better by leaps and bounds, killer stuff there.
4 & 7 seem a bit bland composition and subject wise, whereas your other ordinary subjects such as the socket and pipes look great in their positioning and colors.
I think all but 2 and 5 could use some darker shadows, pure blacks would make them pop a lot more.

| | | | I agree on Motts' point on the shadows... I also think that your balance is relying a lot on color-which is rich, but leaves parts of the frame empty.
Maybe try rearranging the stronger elements to help your harmony or discord; it's a little flat now.

| | | | 1 - That fern makes this shot. Kind of bizarre. Nice.
2 - I like this a lot better than the average chair shot. You could use more shadow detail, but you're getting away with it because there's plenty to hold the picture together. I really like the blue of the chair.
3 - This is like a textbook lesson in composition. I'm not going out of my mind with excitement, but it's well executed. I like that little hint of pink peeking through...if there was a way to intensify that (never worked with color film) that would be cool.
4 - Good comp, good colors. You squeezed in the two elements of the picture successfully without making it feel cut off. The sinks look like they might be a little soft, but it's hard to tell.
5 - I think this picture could use a little more motion. What you did here is technically great, but for some reason this one just leaves me wanting a little more dynamic feel. The pattern of the green paint is great.
6 - This I like a lot. The colors are great. If you could lighten up the purple on the left side a little more the image would feel more balanced. I like that it's darker and the shadows feel deeper on the left, but just a liiiitle lighter to give it more balance.
7 - There's something odd about this. The look of it seems very strange for some reason. This shot is OK, but I think it needs more interest. I think a bit more context for the subject might have worked better. Not bad, but not great.
Good work!

| | | | I'm not so much good at the criticism but had to comment.
#2 made me look, then go back and look again which I've always thought was a sign of a truly excellent photo.
Nice work.
It's a tragedy.
It's exactly like a greek tragedy.

I didn't read anyone else's critique before I gave mine, but now that I read this I agree definitely. You're doing great to bring in some dynamic elements to your shots...diagonal lines or things that add tension like the wire in #2, but I think Glass is right that you're relying a lot on color to make the shots. I think your sense of composition and color is good, you just need to work on finding more dynamic subjects, or finding ways to put your subjects in a more dynamic context. I think these shots would be great in a series of different types of shots, but as a group they are all somewhat similar in how they "feel" to the viewer.
