2. The picture that does not really work for me: " Gums "
by John Coyle. First, looking around the frame I noticed that trees on the right are not exactly sharp. There is indeed some symmtery between the trees, but it does not work for me. Light, trees, shadows, all the elements do not combine, do not click together. Personally I think I would have kept driving if I were driving by.
Naturally, I mean neither offence nor defence. I just chose two photos and wrote what I thought about them.
I kept asking myself how could I improve this shot. Let's say that I was given an assignment to go to that location on that time and take a shot with the lens that John used. Actually, I think I wouldn't know what to do. I really wouldn't know how to make that shot.
So, I would drive by just because I would have no idea how to shoot the scene.
Having said that, I suppose my critique gets lower rating <grin>.
Thanks.
Boris
