I like the colours and positioning on this one more. I would attempt to give a bit more spce at the top though.

Hi Andrea – I liked the first version, I loved the blues :-), but the amended version is fantastic – I think Jim was right on the rule of thirds with this one. Great job

Cheers

I made a few changes, if you don’t mind, please take another peek at it. The whole pic might just be doomed, but oh well.

Thanks for your input

Perhaps the colours are over saturated, however I would be looking to either reframe a new shot, or crop this image to push the wind generator over to the left of screen to get it on a line of thirds. The reason to the left is that it is pointing generally to the right, hence you should leave more space there for the viewers eyes to wander off into the distant plains.

Here is the image.

Lovely shot, is a little bright on my screen but that can come down to screen settings also:)

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique please

I think it’s a great shot – the sky is a tad bit too blue, but I have to say I’ve been guilty of that myself as have many artists on Redbubble. It’s really all about your interpretation and what YOU find appealing. If YOU like it, go with it.

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique please

I can understand the overprocessing comment. I wasn’t sure how the dramatic colors would be accepted. The original is too light. I will try messing with it again.
Its hard to get a feel for what is considered good photography, but then again I’ve never had formal training. Its been a hobby for and thats pretty much it.

Thanks for the input.

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique please

to be honest, it looks over processed.

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique please

I’m not really that new to photography, but I’m new to SLR photography…..so yea I guess I’m a newbie. I had to depend on my point and shoot for a long time, but I was able to buy my first DSLR recently. I’m working with the stock lens that was with it (18-55mm) until I can afford larger lens. Anyway enough blabbing, please give me your honest opinions of my picture. I eager to learn!

Thanks
Andrea

This was taken with a Cannon EOS Digital Rebel XS with the 18-55 mm stock lens.
I enhanced the color a tad so it wasn’t so washed out.

using masks in Photoshop and then adjustong levels of the area that you want lightened – however I am with Lois on this one – I don’t think it would add to the image and could well detract. I like the colourful lights against the silhouette background of the mountains and the further variation that the sky and clouds provide.
I would be half tempted to “burn in” (darken) the buildings to the left so they do not impose or distract from the effective layers created with the wheel, the mountains and the sky. Perhaps also crop in a bit from both the left and right (losing the bright light on the right of the wheel), along with some from the bottom (loosing the 2 lower bright lights in the foreground). So effectively giving the wheel some more prominance within the image and removing some of the other distracting light points.

I use a add on to lightroom called Viveza 2 that enables you to pick and choose the areas you want to bring out, without changing the other areas.
Then you could always do what I do, just keep looking at it until you love it ! LOL
I think it’s a cool image and if you just got featured don’t mess with it .

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique requested

Thank you all for the advice and comments. This shot just got featured, which I was not expecting, so I must just leave it as it is..

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique requested

There’s a program called Lightroom. It should be able to help – there’s a ‘fill light’ function which should be able to help you recover some detail, and you won’t lose the ‘pop’ from the lights.

Great shot by the way, I really love the composition.

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique requested

Cut out the parts you want to keep the same, then lighten the rest of your image, then past the cut out parts back in.

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique requested

Hi Craig … not that I know anything .. and I truly don’t … but I’d leave it as it is .. I think it’s very unusual .. the lights at the carnival really POP … and following rule of thirds, the carnival lights themselves are in the perfect spot!!! I like it a lot!!!

Topic: How am I doing? / Critique requested

I took this and got the blur on the lights at the show as I wanted, but I think the rest is a bit dark.
Is there any advice on how to get the rest slightly lighter with more detail but keep the lights as they are?
It was taken at 4secs at f/16 at 300mm

I think it’s busy as well, but the sepia saves it from being even busier, while allowing the ‘busy’ to give an atmosphere to the scene (kind of tropical type, relaxed and informal, in keeping with the furniture style, as opposed to the minimalistic and clean lines of modern, ‘western/Scandinavian’ type)

Topic: How am I doing? / Challenge Winner Critique - 5 O'Clock Shadow

A very busy image. The lens baby is an interesting lens which adds such a different view and starts to complicate the image in itself. The variation in shadow to light and the verticals versus the diagonals all add further complication to the image – so a first view to me finds this image very crowded and over complicated. As with Linda, above, once sitting here and looking the image develops an appeal.
