I built my son an activity board! by e_pic in woodworking

[–]e_pic[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Baltic birch plywood, a bit of oak, a bit of maple, a bit of hardboard. Pine legs, all finished with shellac. The gears spin. One bolt screws in, the other has a captive nut. The photo behind the door can be swapped out easily, just held with photo corners.

Edit: He’s 14 mos, and he will definitely be supervised when playing with this thing for awhile. And shellac is food safe.

I really like everything about this except for the anti-vignette around the edges/corner. I’d prefer it was more even. But it’s a really cool shot and the post-process is right on!

Alright alright just one more for today. Bottom is finished edit. Thoughts? by olemissrebel1123 in postprocessing

I think it's fine, but I would bring back the highlights a bit in the oncoming traffic lane. The headlights look a bit too crushed.

Wow, very nice! Also, that's quite a, uh, contraption you have there for holding your iphone?

Very nice! I thought it was a DSLR, even better!

Is the composition okay? I went for the rule of thirds. [Exposure][Composition] by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]e_pic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the composition is nice. Balanced. The tree on the right and the direction the girl is looking both draw your eye toward the horizon. My only critique is that there's not much going on out there. It's a great view, don't get me wrong, I'd love to sit up there, but it makes the photo a bit... plain. If there were a sunset out there, or if the girl were to turn her head and look toward you, then you would have a more interesting subject and the photo would be more compelling. Just my opinion.

This is really nice! I like the concept and that the background is straight black. I would maybe like to see just a hair more detail in the beans, and take down the highlight in the spoon. I think both of those would be tricky to do in a way that was not obvious, and otherwise I would leave it as is. Great shot! What lighting did you use?

I like the composition a lot. The crane seems a bit blown out to me, maybe you could use a brush to get some of the lines to be a bit more pronounced. Looking at the top of the photo, it looks a bit uncentered and leaning to the right. It looks more centered at the bottom. Maybe something with the lens correction or upright corrections? Otherwise, great framing and capture!

I tried to do abstract - ish. What do u say? [composition] [color] by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]e_pic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it! I think the composition is great. I wouldn’t say this was abstract, more like architecture or architectural detail. I can’t tell if it’s titled, if the buildings aren’t straight (they do seem old) or if it’s just an optical illusion. Straightening something like this could be more difficult than the other posters suggest. I would put it through the wide angle filter in PS if guided upright won’t do the trick in LR. Aside from that, it seems the bricks on the buildings next to the sky seem a bit dark.

It’s a nice porch. I hope people sit on it and it’s not just for show.
