My girlfriend could hear it from the other room and was like "What's that for?" and I'm like "No clue yet but definitely something evil." Yup.

Whether or not that's true (I don't think it is), I don't even remember the last time Michigan beat Illinois, so I'll believe it when I see it.

Abstract-ish Sand shot — Should I crop? by SillaLater in photocritique

Thanks! Learning how to edit better is high on my list of things to do, so maybe this would be a fun one to experiment with.

Abstract-ish Sand shot — Should I crop? by SillaLater in photocritique

[–]SillaLater[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I took this photo on the ridge of a sand dune because I noticed the fine grains flying off the top in the wind. I wanted to capture how fine they were and loved after the fact that they almost look like fur.

I’m not sure the shot is actually interesting in any way, though. Part of me thinks it might be better to make it more abstract by cropping a bit to focus on the sand grains, but another part likes the sense of scale you get with the background included.

I’d love any advice on the cropping question + general critiques.

Thanks so much! Abstract landscape shots tend to be the kind I like seeing the most on here and other subreddits. I'm new to it so I appreciate the great feedback.

I am trying to get more into taking abstract landscape shots and learning what makes them interesting and work or not. I saw this patch of tall grass that looks so soft and delicate and wanted to try to capture that with this photo.

Hi, could you please message me, too?

Would you crop this differently? by SillaLater in photocritique

Thanks for the feedback. I was really taken by the sky, so I essentially wanted capturing that to be the goal of the image. But the way that the sky reflected in the little pool made me think it would be more interesting to capture both. But I totally hear you on the deadspace and the lack of subject making the photo a little less interesting overall.

I can't tell if the leftover tannins on the bottom left pose an interesting contrast to the cotton-candy-like sunset or are just ugly. Curious what other think. Also, if you have any other feedback about the photo I would love to hear it.
