(Viewed 467 times) urbanjoe  Location: Georgia Gender: Male  |  |  |  Looking through... < on 7/23/2010 3:51 AM >   I was going through some photos tonight. This was taken at Alcatraz. (I really need to get out on a more "appropriate" exploration). I personally like this photo but not sure if it's worthy enough to be classified as any good? Your expert opinions are greatly appreciated! http://www.flickr.com/photos/urbanjoe/ insanebuslady  Location: ?

The photos decently composed, but definitely blown out consecrated  Location: Connecticut Gender: Male Æthereal  |  |  Re: Looking through... <Reply # 2 on 7/30/2010 11:45 AM >   The composition is ok but the background is blown out. The only way around this is losing the metered subject (structure) or HDR (Oh no, danger!) / tone mapping. I like the use of both the arch and the foliage as a frame.

I like the use of both the arch and the foliage as a frame. bracket and blend is a perfectly acceptable solution, this does take into account that you did bracket the shot? If I was really created in God’s image then when God was a boy he wanted to grow up to be a man, a good man, and when God was a man, a good man, he started telling the truth in order to get honest responses.

My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. canadianman000  Location: New Germany, Nova Scotia, Canada  |  Re: Looking through... <Reply # 8 on 8/13/2010 2:15 PM >   I like how its framed. The bushes on the bottom seem to complete an oval or circle. I'm as Canadian as it gets. urbanjoe  Location: Georgia Gender: Male  |  |  |  Re: Looking through... <Reply # 9 on 8/21/2010 11:57 PM >   Thank you all for the comments and suggestions, yeah I thought the way it was framed looked cool going to mess around in photoshop, need to bring my skills back up to speed anyway.
