This group is for negative feedback on photos or things that could be improved only. People tend to only comment on photos when they have something nice to say, but this group is designed to go against that trend so you as a photographer can find out what is wrong with your technique. So please don't be afraid to contribute a negative comment in this group on someone else's work.

If you would like to get constructive criticism on one of your photos here is what you do.

1. Click the Link that says "Start a Discussion"
2. Upload your photo to the "Post" section on the "Start a Discussion" screen. To do this click on the little photo icon next to the text formatting icons.
3. After your photo is uploaded you might add some text under it if you wish describing what you are concerned about or what you would like to hear opinions about.
4. Please do not use the attach section because then users will have to click on a link to your photo to see it. By using the "Post" section, users can study your photo more effectively.

A long night - Comments please 1 Reply

I took this last weekend using a home made snoot. I quite like it but should have used a darker room and longer exposure to make the flames bigger.  What do you think? Thanks Richard

Wojomojo,
The words on the body don't seem to match the intense lighting/shadowing and pose which to me speaks more of suffering and pain. Unless the message conveyed is this person's desire for love, respect, peace, and beauty. Many in this fallen world carry a lifetime of hurt and abuse and this might work for such an illustration. Interesting

is this photo portfolio material??


Ed Harp Comment by Ed Harp on February 3, 2010 at 8:15pm
Tanvir,
The balance falls to the left too much. If the bottom flower remains where it is, the top flower then needs to be moved to the top right to provide a counter force which pulls your eye to the opposite corner of the frame. The flower on the bottom should be sharp stamens to petals. I don't know what your aperture setting was, but maybe one of f/16 at minimum might create enough DOF.

Samantha,

here's what I see in your image

Samantha, the only thing I can think of that image needing is to straighten it.

Keith, first, you should try to never put the horizon in the middle of the image. It makes the eye try to find one side that is more dominant than the other. Usually, either the sky, or the water/landscape has more visual interest than the other. Shift the horizon up or down as appropriate. Otherwise, there's not a lot that I find interesting about the image. The structures are obviously the point of interest, but not enough so to catch me, sorry.
