Challenge:Something New (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon PowerShot G2 Location: Columbus Circle, New York, New York Date: Aug 11, 2002 Aperture: f4.0 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/250 Date Uploaded: Aug 11, 2002
Modern art really is "something new". The curve makes the photo interesting. The lighting could have been better, so that its more visible that the letters are engraved. Especially the M. Also I would like a more uniform lighting here. There are reflections in the upper left corner while the right side is much darker. -stephan
I understand your point. Modern art, must be new. However, This photo doesn't look like it is of modern art. The words themselves look like they've been there awhile. Could you have interpreted a piece of modern art in with this photo? Maybe this IS a piece of modern art. Who am I to judge when I wasn't there. However if it is, a wider shot of it would have made a larger impact so we could view more of the subject we are looking at. I have to have a high appreciation for the brindle marble, That's my Dad's business. I've seen lots and lots of marble in my day and this is one of the prettiest colors I've seen in awhile. You did a great job of keeping reflection off the surface and caught it at an angle that it's not too dark either. Good luck in the challenge.
Subtle - yes, well photographed – yes… I can't offer constructive comments with the technical side of things; it's a great shot and it meets the challenge easily. But I can't decide if I like the picture for the sake of the picture. It lacks something, but I'm really not sure what…
Something new. Composition - pretty good Technical Aspects - pretty good. Meets Challenge - I assume so, but not really obvious Visual Impact / Originality – pretty good Jim msp
I like the crescent at the bottom and the modern simplicity but there isn't enough shadow in the etchings to allow easy reading and I would like a more vibrant colour.
