very clean work. There's only one problem I have in my view...4 is a little busy, but it could just be me.

I like #4. The rest have blown highlights...
Thanks for breaking the 3-week-long dark (not) spooky asylum photo roll-on.

1 doesn't do anything for me; it's well composed and the colours are good, but I dunno - it's a nice shot, but that's really it.

I like two a lot, blown highlights nonwithstanding. Great composition.

3 is pretty well done for what it is, but I think I've seen too many of this shot (the bright light hitting the floor from a window.

4 rocks; I like the angle a great deal.

5 is good, but would be better if you hadn't cropped so closely on the right. I think a little more pipe there would greatly improve it.

I was thinking about 5 again. I think this shot might be a little better if you shot it with a longer lens and tried to eliminate some of the perspective on the left hand knobs. I am assuming that that is a flat wall you are shooting at.

Only 2 and 3 have blown highlights and 3 was on purpose (it's a bracket and blend but the "clean" version sucked...no feeling). 2 bummed me the fuck out though. I wanted to bust out the tripod but unfortunately that shot just happened to be in a rather critical area.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yea, I struggle with that. I used a lot of Fred Miranda's Velvia Vision on these. Some people like the colors the best, some people think they're oversaturated. I go back and forth agreeing with both.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot man, this is very helpful.

I was actually thinking about some of your work when I shot 5. I almost walked past it but I was like "I gotta try something different".

Ohhhh man. What a good fucking idea. I shoot mostly with my 16-35 and I took that shot literally on top of that subject. It's actually the same room as #4, so you can see how tight it was. I should have shot from the other side of the tub and even put on the 24-70 if I had to. This is really great feedback...I am so into wide shots that sometimes I forget to use tele to my advantage. Thanks a lot for this comment.

absolutely agree

less tight cropping on the right, and a more flattened perspective via a telephoto and this shot would be stunning
