Here are a few more shots thats Im interested in getting some feedback on. Most are recent, but the shot of hearn is over a yr old now. Even though its an older shot, its still one of my favorites for some reason.

Stunning drain photos! Nr 2 is a bit too busy, it's hard to find a subject here.

I like the foreground you got in shot one, but the plain space on the roof is a bit distracting. The photo also seems a bit cut up into sections. I might have shot from the left side of the falls and tried to frame it a bit further to the bottom right (cut out the roof and left 'window') so the waterfall would lead you eye around the shot a bit better. But I like the shot overall, I'm just being picky.

The colours in the Hearn shot have been cranked up too much and it looks like you resorted to HDR... Noooooooo!!!!!! There is a bit of distortion in it as well that you might be able to fix. It is a hard place to shoot, personally I think is is a good shot to have taken for yourself but from an art point of view it is not strong.

Three is great, congrats. Nice and sharp, interesting colors, well framed. Maybe slightly top heavy, but I can't really offer any solutions.

Four. Nice, good exposure, not much to say.

Jon_doe inspired? No bad, but you should not have been holding the camera. I would have aimed at getting a clean human shadow on the wall. It would have much more impact that way.

I'm not here to break it, just to see how far it bends.

I love #4. the shadow is so cool, and i like how it draws your eye down around the tunnel to where you're standing.

Sorry, what was that you were saying about forever alone?

The first is my absolute favorite. The only real flaw I see in it is that there is so much going on, you don't really know what to look at.

1 Seems soft. Maybe get some sharpening action on it. Also, would be better without you and the sparks in it.

2 Looks like a clown threw up on it. Composition-wise it is fine, though doesn't really do much for me for some reason. Also, what's that black line in the bottom right?

3 and 5 are the best of the series, I think. 4 is ok, but not something that grabs me.

lol. Yea I think Im just personally biased towards liking that picture because it was from the first place I ever explored, and it seems more magical to me than it would most other people.
The black line is a wire or something that was hanging in the foreground. I was able to crop some out, but didnt cut it all away because I wouldve lost too much for my liking.

Your drain photography is amazing! Shooting drains that well isn't easy.

I'll echo this.
You need the right equipment, patience, and some creative juice running down your leg, all of which you prove to possess. Nice work.
