Kaphias Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 The Quire- I love the colors on this, however I think I would like the view pointed downward more... seems like too much was cropped off the bottom. Cathedral Courtyard- I don't see a focal point in this image. Just doesn't work for me. Against A Moody Sky- Great angle, I love how the sky gets lighter the closer it is to you. Thirst For Lemon- Again I don't see much of a focal point, The scratches on the glass make it look like you have a bad lense, and the colors get slightly grainy off to the right. Like Clockwork- Wow. Never seem anything like that before... only thing I might like more is if the focal area was larger. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangeor Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I really like the first two. The colors are beautiful on the second one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 LOVE the moody lighting for your self portrait. Kudos to Killerwatt on that. Quire - I love the colours. Your clockwork thing is just a cheap effect though :shame: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblinpie Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 That 'Cheap effect' can be used very artistically. For example: http://www.willpearson.co.uk/portfolio_perspective.php POH Agility Course, Please Support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Licky Kat Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I really like The Quire, but as Kaphias said, it would look better if you could see more on the bottom of the picture. It looks a too cut off. Cathedral Courtyard is beautiful! Green is my favorite color and this courtyard is amazing! I wish that the right side was more in the center of the picture for a better focal point though. The picture of yourself against the sky is also a really cool shot! The drink would be better if it didn't look like you had a dirty/scratched up lense. It makes the shot a little too blurry. The last one looks really neat. what does it look like without the distortion? Call me Kat, or Kathy Corkat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was the cup that was scratched. It may be the cup but because of the liquid being lower than the scratches it looks like the lense is what is messed up.

Jopie211 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 The Quire - I agree with Kaphias on this one. It's still a good shot though, the colours and the symmetry make it feel slightly surrealistic. Cathedral Courtyard - The bright green grass, the much less saturated colours of the cathedral and the almost white sky create a nice contrast. It's pretty well composed, but I also think it lacks a good focal point. Against A Moody Sky - Probably my favourite out of the bunch, love the darkness of it. Thirst For Lemon - It would be a pretty interesting abstract-ish shot if it wasn't for the right side. If you cropped that off, it would allow the viewer to focus more on the water drops and all the little details on them. Like Clockwork - Pretty awesome. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Did a macro session, picked the best one of the bunch: 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblinpie Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Did you sharpen it at all? Because it looks 'too sharp' in my opinion. POH Agility Course, Please Support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Did you sharpen it at all? Because it looks 'too sharp' in my opinion. I did put the clarity slider right to the max in ACR. And then still I sharpened it in the further post processing. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
