Critique Club Comment :
Sorry this is so late. It's been a rough week.
Composition : I've always loved strong lines and this has them. Simple and well composed.
Exposure : The side of the arch that is in the light is a little over exposed, but not horribly so.
Focus / DoF : It seems a little on the soft side, but that might be due more to resolution then to the focus.
Post Processing : This shot suffers from a lot of grain and noise. Since you were shooting fairly fast and with 100 ISO, I have to assume it was caused by resizing (I could be wrong). There are some very impressive software packages that remove a lot of the noise and grain from shots. Perhaps this image would benefit from one of them.
Challenge / Interest : Challenge is certainly met. This structure is one of the most easily recognized landmarks in the US.
My opinion : I like the simplicity of this shot. Strong lines. But the grain and noise really hurt this shot badly. Very nice entry. |
