critique club COMPOSITION -CONTENT - This is a good shot but the vertical cropping has detracted from the impact. I would like tosee something of what the soldier is looking back at. My screen is showing a bit of compression artefacts but this may not be obvious on another pc. CAMERA WORK -TECHNICAL - Colur and lighting are good. DIGITAL PROCESSING - TECHNICAL - Cropping could be improved upon and resizing YOUR OPINION ON THE PHOTO - I am left wondering what the soldier is looking back so worriedly at also the general looks rather grim faced and not really displaying national pride!
I have to wonder how this would look in a horizontal format. If it had been taken in horizontal, or cropped that way (assuming this is a crop of the original due to the quality) it may have shown more of the scene giving a National Pride feeling.
El generalisimo. Wow, military dictatorships still going strong it seems. Would be better to have the officer standing in the truck as the subject rather than the soldier on the ground. But not always possible.
exposure seems to be good. you captured the face. the camera seems to be pointed a little high. i would like to have seen less sky and more of the soldier standing on the ground. good photo.
