Challenge:Black & White (Classic Editing) Camera:Kodak DC3200 Location: pool of reflection Date: Jun 1, 2002 Aperture: 3.9 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/15 Date Uploaded: Jun 1, 2002
I like your choice of subject. The lines all draw me in, which is nice, but I think a different time of day might have given you more of a dramatic effect, enhancing the shot a lot more.
Very, very pretty, but another photo (I've found 3 now) that uses way too much compression - 33kb out of the 150kb you're allowed to use! It leads to a degraded picture quality that I'm sure you're getting lots of comments about.
Nice. I can't decide about the shadow on the swan in the fg, but I'm leaning toward not liking it. The leading lines don't really go anywhere, but they do give nice depth.
Looks like there was a shadow in the foreground which hurts the tone range a little -- if it was a cloud, I'd have tried to wait for it to move; if it's from a tree...I like th "classic" look.
This could be a great photo, not sure what it needs though, a different angle or softer lighting? Given the time frame of the composition, great work. I hope you go back and worth this some more.
This is a very nice shot... the reflections in the water are nice as well... I believe there is a slight camera tilt on this photo to the left... I believe that a little more level camera would improve this shot somewhat... good job!
