Coming from the 1-4-0 thread (am not linking it cos peeps keep commenting on my portfolio.
Flicking through your portfolio I'd disagree that its your most underated image! If it was a tad sharper and rotated slightly (the slant puts me off) then yes, I may agree with you. Super find though and well worth revisitng :)
I really love the light and textures of this image...the choice to go B & W is also quite nice and very effective. The only thing I am a little bothered by is that the entire image seems to be slightly out of focus...still a very nice image...nicely seen.
First off, without your title, I wouldn't even know what this is. The shot just doesn't scream anything that I would really like to look at for a long period of time and, while technically well done, it just isn't interesting.
While the opening of the circle is positioned to the left of the photo slightly, the entirety of the circle shaped area is dead smack dab in the center of the photo. No dramatic angle, no strategic placement, nothing.
The division of the right 1/2 and the left 1/2 of the photo is also odd. See the strong vertical line with the darker 1/2 being the right side? There is no shadow there and gives kind of an optical illusion that you cannot tell if the dark part is in front of, or behind the lighter side.
The partial blades of grass really don't do much for the image except to tear straight through the one somewhat interesting part of the photo. The circle is broken at the bottom by the stick of grass.
Focus is ok. The grain is ok for the image.
Just seems more like an abstract to me. I'm not a huge fan of abstracts admittingly.
The thing in the center of the circle seems like an actual distraction since we can't see it and since it's not the sharpest focus of the photo.
Overall this seems technically well done, good lighting on the pipe, nice focus (could have come up with different crop/angle I think) it's just not drawing me in and keeping me there.
Hope I'm not too harsh, Maybe this is just a 'love it or hate it' image.
Now, if this ribbons, I'm gonna feel like an ass.
PS...Forgot to add that the 'tilt' of the object seems like an accident. It's not off enough to be 'dramatic angle' in my opinion, but off enough that we know it's not level. I think I'd prefer if this were maybe MORE at an angle. Maybe even a strong diagonal. I like diagonals.
wow. imagine how much sewage can travel through pipes of that enormity! Tons, to be sure! Oh? You want a critique? ok. nice cylinders, ovals, shadows, and depth.
There's a certain beauty and mysteriousness to this and I absolutely loved it. It made me take a breath when I saw it. I don't really know why. It just seems there is a lot of imagination in this picture. Good job and good luck.
