Hello, I have a lot of photos on my portfolio with "needs work" evaluation ... I accept this feedback it's normal because I'm at the begging, but for me it's to easy to check 2 stars and go to the next photo.
Needs work OK, but what's the work that I have to do. I think it's important to support the feedback with an explication. In this way the judgement become a constructive feedback.
This first picture is a snapshot for you ?
What I have to do on the others ?
Thank you to help me to progress
Criticism is subjective so take it as opinion. 1 for me is an architectural shot so it would have been stronger if centered at shooting. 2) i am presuming that the focus is the blue lighted building so u could have zoomed in. If it wasnt the focus then the frame doesnt work as the blue lighted building pulls the eye towards it. 3) is ok but flat lighting. 4) horizon line too far into the middle lacking a guiding line 5) black and white is nice but not sure what the focus of the image is. 6). To me is your strongest image but as the leading line followed the shape of the glass building
Hi there Vito,
Always a good idea to add your camera setting to the images ie, ISO, Aperture, Shutter speed etc, and whether you used a tripod, remote trigger etc, so that any feedback is relevant to the captured image
Enjoy your day.
Lightning round: I'll try not to be too direct, but I'm keeping my word count to a minimum, so it may come across as harsh.
1) I think if you're going for a sort of fine art look, it has to look a little sleeker and smoother. I like the composition, even off to the side, but the ripples in the water ruin the smoothness of the image.
2) 50% of the image is just empty water and the other 50% are average looking buildings, so it's just not a great location.
3) Location and atmosphere are nice, but it's not dynamic, as Lorretta mentioned, it's kind of flat looking.
4) Similar to number 2, I think the featureless water is taking up a little too much. The buildings and trees look nice, so maybe you could tilt the camera up a little more.
5) I think if you make the tree on the right your subject it would be a stronger image. That would give you a clear subject with the fence as a leading line. All you really have to do is crop it, but if you can go back, it's worth re-shooting for maximum quality.
6) The sky is a little too featureless, the colours on the structures look a little grungy to me, and the darks are a little too dark.
One more final comment. Only number 3 and 5 really fit in this group, the others should be in another group, as nature isn't really the focus.
Every time you give me very precious feedback. Thank you so much for your help
