Just One to Critique

Let me know what you think!

Taken with a Sony DSC-T1. The image was shrunk down quite a bit so quality is ccompromised a bit.

Call me a nature hater, but I would really like to see it without the greenery on the right.

Honestly, if you took the time to rip all of that nature out of the way I think it would be great. Although I like it, I find that the nature makes it look cluttered and I find it terribly distracting.

Lol, i dont think im gonna tear up all those plants. Believe it or not but those plants/trees span across the whole side of the barn and along the floor as well too. Glad you like it though. Im trying to get better at this thing so all constructive criticism is welcomed and appreciated.

I really like what is happening in the center....perhaps cropping it up to the middle of the chair backs. Other than that i would try to get rid of the dead stuff and maybe pull back some of the live stuff on the right, or just pan to the left

I agree about the live stuff. part of the reason i don't like to take pics in the summer as much. but I still like the picture.

Those chairs looks sort of pristine for being outside. Maybe if interesting people were sitting in them, like old farmers smoking from corncob pipes, it would really pop.

I really like this. The chairs serve as a line to draw you back through the shot, so it's got a lot of depth, and the wall at the back is interesting as well. The only real critique I have here is that the angle is a little plain. Try experimenting with other angles; just be creative.

Thanks for the compliments and the constructive criticism so far guys! Just one general question about this photo. Does it look too much like a snapshot?

This is an excellent picture.
The colors are striking and the composition is just excellent.
Well done - your trip was worth this one photo.
I am often criticized for oversaturated photos. . . . so do not use me as a reference.

Lol thanks for the compliments! Funny thing is this place is like a 1 min walk from my house, so i go pretty often. Im planning to go inside one day soon.

On the topic of saturation, i like somewhat oversaturated photos. What can i say, i love color?

The colors are interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about the cropping you did on the later image. Going back and reshooting would be your best bet if you had the opportunity. I find the MasterLock label a little distracting in the second image. Maybe try Clone Stamping it out and toning down that blue a tad. Nice composition though. Keep shooting!
