Positives:
Choice of B&W with grain works well with this image. Technicals generally good.
Technicals:
Grainy appearance comes across well. No seriously overexposed or underexposed areas. Perspective is OK, but not exceptionally strong. Lighting is hard to evaluate. Near side is in shadow but that seems to work well for this particular image. The bright 'thing' in the lower right corner is unidentifiable and acts as a distraction. The distant signage acts as a minor distraction drawing attention from the main subject.
The Challenge:
Meets the challenge well. BW is always a good choice for grain images. Even the subject, a military vehicle, fits a gain theme. DPCer need for a big "wow" factor played a roll in the score. You really didn't give the viewer a lot to attract attention to this image. Voters might have thought it boring. Since you can only do global changes the composition has to be stronger in basic challenges to carry the image.
Suggestions:
I'm curious how you got ISO 320, that seems like a very strange value. Perhaps using the fisheye lens to exaggerate the features on the vehicle might be tried to add more viewer interest to the composition. Definitely crop out that bright object in the lower right corner. |
