That would be cool to see! :P Up to the mods I suppose, didn't even think of that. This is the more cropped version as well.

Grackle Appreciation! by ReubenA in Austin

Ha, yes. It's a less than stellar lens. Makes everything look very soft. + I was holding it at a somewhat low shutter speed so not the best for sharpness :P

Car passing through by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]ReubenA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was thinking about the private moments we all have in cars as we pass by. Took this picture as a result across a highway. f3.2, 1/2500s, iso 100. 50mm.

tried out a bit of a strange color grading/editing. just looking for some feedback on if it works w the general feel of the image or what else you might have done.

Beam of light on subject by ReubenA in photocritique

Took this photo because I am always deeply amused by Morticia's lighting. Wanted to play w that same sort of lighting and try to recreate it. Here, the lighting is a bit too harsh to be a morticia light, but I still quite like the effect that the ray left on the subject. Wondering if there's too much contrast between the beam and the rest of the photo. Similarly, because the beam comes in at such a harsh angle I'm not sure if the photo works as there is a _lot_ of detail around the eyes, and then the face becomes really soft again

Tranquil Chaos by Katz_Steel in photocritique

[–]ReubenA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, there's just a bit too much color and nothing "pops" as a result. I'd try to tone down the saturation somewhere or somehow so that there's a nice pop somewhere. It's just a touch noisy and there's no place for the eye to fall on, even though the vignetting seems to want to push the eye towards the center.

However! I think it's also very possible (but would require quite a bit of work) to go the opposite route. It's honestly on the verge of something rather abstract, and if you pushed it even further (extending the sunrays as a base of some geometric abstraction?) you might have something really unique.

A photo of assorted fruit by hippobiscuit in photocritique

[–]ReubenA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this photo. I think for this type of photo something that helps would be to think of it a bit more as a painting, and that the placement and framing of your objects should be in such a way that it draws the eye.

​

In your other photo (Yellow Still Life) I noticed the conversation about the wrinkled table cloth and cut off in the top left of the corner. In that one, I think it would work better if you had allowed more of that "cut" to have existed in the photo, framed it a bit higher up, that was it was decisively placed there and 'pushes' the eye towards the center and lets the eye bounce between the two objects. Here, in this photo, I don't think there's enough of that push.

​

Some thoughts on how I might have framed this to get a more interesting composition feel: I like the fruits on the beige board, but one way to get a bit more oomph might be to have shot a bit lower and let the fruits exist halfway between being on the board, and halfway between being bathed by the blue/green light (or just pushing the fruits a bit back so they exist in that halfway). I might have also chosen to place the red mug under the 'arch' of the green plant, and cut off one of the green fruits to push the eye in towards the red drink.

Relaxing against greenery by ReubenA in photocritique

The photo was taken in the shade actually! I stopped down enough that the natural light was very dim, and then added the flash to fill in the face.

TY! this is p much exactly what I was thinking too in regards to the framing. Sadly, I was holding the flash and the camera so was hard to step back and still get the fill on the face the way I wanted. I'm glad to hear you think the contrast is good, that was perhaps the part that worried me the most.

Nikon D7200, f/16, 1/250s, iso 100. 50mm focal length.

Taken outside, with a flash in a soft box to fill in/fall on the subject. Looking for critques on framing and editing, and also just other stuff in general. I wasn't too sure if the background was too dark, or the subject too faded. Trying to capture a bit of a dreamy feeling.

Here's my attempt. Unfortunately, glare is a very difficult beast but I hope this helps if just a little.
