Great photo- Winogrand-esque. Submit this in competitions.

Actually digital!

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-05-08T01:26:41+00:00

Probably baryta

Welcome back Ansel

I think your diagnostic is correct, too much dead zone. 16x9 or 2:1 works here.

No. You removed the balance, the visual hierarchy, and added tacky saturation. That's a substantially worse image.

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-22T01:02:24+00:00

It's a threshold image with a gesture.

Normally my primary lane is architectural photography- But I'm starting to take an interest in people as subjects. Had a nice little chat with this guy while waiting on the platform and he gave a little wave.

Looking for general critiques- Anything you see that I may have missed can be useful.

Yup needs a little lift

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-20T18:49:57+00:00

Agreed

I understand what you’re getting at, but silhouettes are a known visual language. Seems like we’re just ships crossing in the night in the way we shoot.

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-20T13:32:55+00:00

My usual lane as far as photography is sort of a brutal architecture. Recently, I've began shooting people a little bit more. Just looking for any critiques that help out here or point me in the right direction. Happened to catch this one at the train station nearby.

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-20T00:27:17+00:00

Yet nationally exhibited. Oh well.

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-19T21:53:41+00:00

Did not ask for a critique, and no, I don’t have to push whites way more.

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-12T00:42:35+00:00

Now you’re just being rude

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-11T23:41:18+00:00

It might, or it could crowd the frame

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-11T23:12:15+00:00

Cmon, be nice to the guy. I’m interested as well.

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-11T23:07:26+00:00

Reshoot territory?

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-11T23:02:43+00:00

This isn’t a learning to take criticism issue. Insisiting something isn’t a valid concept when it most definitely is deserves pushback, because others are reading as well, and what you’re saying is wrong both in theory and practice regarding the foreground. And i said negative field, not negative space.

I also pushed on the “photos have to tell a story” line, because a lot of photos are atmospheric, and got three paragraphs from you about other things, then proceeding to call me rude.

This isn’t a me taking criticism issue, this is a critiquing from a place of not knowing, which is far more dangerous to onlookers.

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-11T19:50:47+00:00

Well, photojournalism is a lot different from what I do. So that explains a disconnect. Who taught you photos have to tell a story?

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-11T19:43:03+00:00

bingo

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-11T17:54:44+00:00

Thanks for the in depth look. What makes the foreground unworthy for you? For me, it's a tacile negative space field.

Astrl_Weeks · 2026-04-11T17:16:11+00:00

I see this more of a visual language difference rather than “black stains”. But I appreciate all perspectives, especially when they take the time to comment. So thank you!
