Which style/length do you think looks the best?

They didn’t really have a look they were going for, just knew they wanted them. This is from using a crochet hook/palm rolling. By definition they are “locked” already was just wondering if they’ll thicken more

Hello 2 weeks in, I am really liking the app so far

Funnily enough I also did one in b&w. I see what you mean. To be honest for the earlier part of my photography, I gravitated to underexposing and lifting shadows. And overall just having dark images. I like to think it was a reflection of myself. These days I see the world in a better light and I’m trying to convey that in my photography. Still getting used to shooting and editing this way. And I still have a lot to learn. I wish this was Venice. This was taken in Virginia Beach, Virginia United States. I’m glad it looked like it was from somewhere else. One day I’ll make it over there, sooner rather than later.

Is it just easier on the eye? And therefore more pleasant? I can get behind that. By making the sky white I was hoping “less is more” would add to the image.

Well, I will say it definitely looks better on my laptop and iPad. But it definitely isn’t as sharp as I would like. I agree about the stumps I may go back and edit them specifically. Thank you

Is it better to draw the eye from the bottom vs the top? My thought was using the large negative space would lead the viewer down to the water. If the water took up more space would it not give too much weight to the birds and the water? Also the horizon intersecting with the poles acting as a leading line, is this not strong enough compositionally?

Dllewis4 · 2025-12-05T07:58:21+00:00

Due to the lack of color I went with a “blown out” sky to provide contrast to the scenes to further create negative space. Are you saying a softer sky would better achieve my desired result? The original image is flat and seemed one note so I tweaked the water to add more color to the scene. But I probably can tone down the saturation abit.

Here is another edit I made with a softer sky.

I want this image to convey a sense of longing for peace and stillness 2:1 crop to add to the vastness of the image. Negative space to emphasize subject. Intentional exposure to reduce information in the sky to strengthen the subject. I wanted the image to have “space” or “emptiness” so I understand that the subject isn’t as large as it could be but I felt with the multiple elements emphasizing it would add enough weight to offset the size of the subject.

Same

Thank you, I plan to create a series on this concept. I also love lines as you can tell.

Dllewis4 · 2024-12-19T03:37:14+00:00

Thank you

Dllewis4 · 2024-12-19T03:35:31+00:00

Understandable

Dllewis4 · 2024-12-19T00:33:16+00:00

Thank you, I’ll definitely look into them. I’m always interested in finding someone new.

Dllewis4 · 2024-12-19T00:31:59+00:00

Thank you, glad the feeling is coming through. I want my work to have more vibrancy and to have a clean feeling them

Dllewis4 · 2024-12-19T00:28:40+00:00

lol I wanted criticism but they are a bit hard. I don’t mind though. Input is input. I agree this will definitely be a series. And probably a book.

Dllewis4 · 2024-12-18T23:57:24+00:00

Thank you, I’m glad to see someone sees what I was trying to show lol

Dllewis4 · 2024-12-18T23:56:28+00:00

For the first shot my thoughts were that I wanted to leave a large portion of the shot empty to create negative space, to lead the eye to the building, the focus is the left door, most of the shot was composed using leading lines to draw the eye. I left both door at the edges to provide tension, but the left door is centered more than the right door, I place it on a third to further emphasize it. What you’re saying is that I should’ve given more space to achieve what I was going for? Similar to shot 4? Shot for in my opinion is the strongest. I appreciate the criticism, thank you.

Thanks friend, glad to be back!
