I will mostly echo Ken and Ann and the others. I found your first shot to be pleasing. Not exciting, not dynamic, not innovative or radical, but pleasing. And I think that fits the scene - a quiet pastoral on a grey cloudy autumn day. I looked only at your third variant so can't comment on the earlier representations, but the colors, saturation etc. in the third seem reasonable to me.
The second shot actually has some potential to be a strong image if you crop about 25% off the bottom and 15-20% off the left side (similar to Ann's suggestion). The bare rounded tree on the right would then become a strong foreground element in the scene and would make the image memorable. Oh, and take away some of the sky while you are cropping. stan On Oct 18, 2013, at 10:35 AM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: > this is better - the tree on the right and the darker sky both help > upping the contrast would help - some cropping so that the tree isnt quite so > far to the right (that is, chop off from the left and, while you are at it a > bit off the bottom.) > > I didn't see the need to comment on the other as I would have jsut been > repeating Ken and others comments. > > ann > > On 10/18/2013 00:33, Ciprian Dorin Craciun wrote: >> On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 11:15 PM, Ciprian Dorin Craciun >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 10:12 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>> Other than the colors, I'm not sure what I should be looking at - ie I >>>> don't see any compositional elements - line, shape, form etc >>> >>> Unfortunately I agree about the lack of composition in my picture. >>> It's more a snapshot of the autumn colors while on the road, made >>> from the single vantage point I've had access to (although this >>> doesn't make a good excuse). >>> >>> (In fact since I've got the K-30 this spring I've been >>> photographing mostly city-scapes and mid-day landscapes, thus the >>> first change I got to catch something more colorful I was itching to >>> put it out.) >> >> >> Let's see if the other snapshot taken from the same vantage point >> is better from a composition point of view. >> >> >> http://data.volution.ro/ciprian/bdf753de58c560bc/44ff10a8138027c8/variant-a--x800.jpg >> >> And the larger variant (~3.5 MiB) >> >> >> http://data.volution.ro/ciprian/bdf753de58c560bc/44ff10a8138027c8/variant-a--x1080.jpg >> >> Ciprian. >> > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
