woopidoo2 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Good to see more people posting photos lately :) I havent done much photography these weeks (months), because of school/work/bad weather. All nice excuses, but I just couldnt find the energy to make some new photos. So I've got a new one for you to see.. a new photo that I'm fairly happy with after a long time of 'nothing'. Tell me what you think, I would like some more comments about it. A friend of mine (the first one to comment on the deviantart page) said that the foreground is very unclear and that the composition lacks. He also said that the mill doesnt add anything to the photo, it's only disturbing him. Do you feel the same way? I do not agree with him at all, but I could be wrong :P [hide=Evening in May] EXIF-Data: Camera: Canon 30D Lens: Canon EF-S 10-22mm Focal distance: 10mm Aperture: f/7.1 Shutter speed: 1/60 ISO-speed: 100 [/hide] [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannas Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I like it, especially the reflection on the water. However, i agree with the comment about the mill. It's a bit of a shame it's slightly slanted but it's ok. The foreground is abit unclear/lacks something - I feel more of it should have been included too, however i think you could solve this problem with a bit of cropping. I suggest that you play around with changing the gradient just to try and lighten up the foreground too You could try highlights/levels too, to try and get the foreground noticed better. I'm not sure whether this would ruin the mood of the image though, but it might be worth a try is you have access to some form of photoshop Other than that, the clouds are nice and i really like the horizon. So good job!! Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'm not a fan of it :| The composition just seems bland, and the clouds just don't look right; I presume you were planning to catch a golden sunset? You didn't succeed :wall: 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopidoo2 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Alright, thanks :) Might lighten up the foreground tomorrow. EDIT: Keep on replying, by the way ;) [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessa9 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 good scene but i know why it could be bland! the horizon line...cuts the picture in half... the one focal point (sun) is right near that line. we learned something about composition in my design class *faiL* but i forget what it specifically was in relation to your photo [sig inserted here....in few days] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
