i think it must have been a marvelous moment
i love seeing things when they just appear that moon
must have been beautiful to see

i would make it a vertical image

one flag [the middle one ] and the moon

i think that would strengthen both image and concept

Good clear lettering, and colour contrast too -it works well for me.

Hello every one…
This is one of my first work here, very simple but with a message

Tell me what you think

Topic: For Critique / Need a bit of help, critique with a flat image

I have some perspective issues with the picture of the Mona Lisa on the wall, give the point of view of the picture I think it needs to be slightly narrower at the bottom.
Also there is problems with the difference in the direction of light on the painting and the little girl … it would be better to make these uniform.
I would also try to blend/dodge the darker fringe around the girl’s hair and left arm from where you clipped them out.

I hope this helps you but remember it is only my opinion, others may think different.

try putting in a vignette on every corner of the imagenexcept the top left. If that looks terrible boost the contrast a little

How doI give the whole image more depth and tidy it up?
All helpful advice welcome :-)

Topic: For Critique / Please critique

Out of the series of photos I like 1 and 3 the best.
It is a pity though that you did not manage to get the kid’s feet into shot in the 1st one though, also I would crop a little from the right hand side so the subjects are bang in the centre (have about the same amount of space on the right as you have at the top).
Hope this helps Kev.

BTW I deleted your duplicate thread

Kev I hope these are the images you are talking about

Topic: For Critique / College Work Assessment - What to include!?

I’m trying to get about 12 photos together to get marked in my year 12 examinations. I have about 6 shots up on red bubble, any feedback would be great. Whether to include them/no good/changes… anything would be nice!

4 of a series of photographs taken at a street dancing tute. Limited by the weather and my viewpoint, I did my best to try and capture the “atmosphere”

Do you think that I have succeeded, and do you consider these kind of pictures to be sellable? I normally only shoot these sort of scenes for my own satisfaction so I will spare RB the rest.

Thanks for any input that you may give

Topic: For Critique / Making a photo look old

as far as the shot goes regarding composition i’m no expert so i’ll leave that alone.

however for the old look, i would tend to add a lightly coloured (sepia) wash, and even some light gradient from the edges, just to draw the eye into the shot.

i like the almost “pencil-sketch” look that it does have, but my thoughts are the three objects (people and donkey) need to stand out a little more from both each other and the background.

i’m not sure what the original had in terms of distinction between the objects, so that may or may not be so easy to bring back.

just my thoughts….

i do like the image itself and it’s a great concept and cause no matter what the image

Hi everyone

I have attempted to make this photo look old and worn out, but I’d like to know what others think. Do you like the composition? Is it too bright?
Thanks for looking.

I tried to copy the image in for you but it is too big to work in the forums well as you can’t appreciate the photo if you have to scroll a lot to see it.

Edit I also agree with what Rob has to say about the new composition

Topic: For Critique / Opinion on Freedom

For me, the moon seems to be in an awkward position.
it seems too high up, i.e needs more black space above it to put it on/ nearer the third line.

i also think it needs to be centred between the left and centre flag, due to the background being the same shade of black, you could easily cut the moon and move it around where you please.

another thought i have is to crop the left flag out all together, but leaving plenty of space

i like all the components of the image, but they just seem awkwardly placed to me??

i would also try losing the moon all together, i know it’s a strong part of the image, but the three flags by themselves and the motion that you’ve captured with them is quite unique in itself….

simply my opinion ignore if you wish…it is your art and i’m no “expert”

Topic: For Critique / Need Photography Help

to post a pic in the forum, just put an exclaimation mark ! at either end of the URL

also, i’d like to see the pic without the crop from the Right but cloning/ healing out the post.
i do think the crop fomr the bottom works well, but i’d only crop it as far as leaving the intersection of the sky and ground (black) at 1/3 the way up the image. (rule of thirds, google this lots of info on correct composition)

there is also a dodge/ burn tool in Photoshop, which will help with slecetively saturating/ de-saturating/ lightening/ darkening specific parts of the image.
so you’ll be able to remove a little brightness from the white section of sky, but then also saturate some parts of the couour without making the already saturated bits look artificial

there are a lot of photoshop tutorials on the web, google is your friend

how do i post pics into the forum??

here it is..

Topic: For Critique / Need Photography Help

shelly, did you mean clone tool?? i never used that… I always go for healing bush as i aint exactly sure what the clone tool does [ i never read manuals, never look up help files, i’m rubbish at learning that way]

Anyways, i was a bit scared i was going overboard with the saturation, but heres where i am at now

thanks again shelly and rob for your input..

Well, for me I enjoy the movement of the flags contrasted by the stagnant motion of the moon. What I would love some advice on, is if this shot should be cropped differently, if the exposure setting was way too long, or if the colors stand out enough against such a black background.

Thankss

cool thanks shelly

• One is the lamp post that Rob mentioned, I would attempt to clone it out
• The other is that the horizon appears almost on the centre of the photo it would be better on the bottom third line (if you place an imaginary tic tac toe board over the pic). This would make your sky the subject in the photo and would remove the distracting car reflections and those that it doesn’t remove can be cloned out.

I also agree with Rob that the photo could do with a bit more saturation to bring out the colours of the sky.
