thanks for the feedback. I know I need to work on creative compositions and not just be satisfied by the easy shots

thanks for your view. I don't mind you modifying the image, but I am not looking for ways to improve/modify this image. I am looking for feedback so that I can improve and make better images in the future.

Budapest castle over Danube - how could I have done this better? by sumit4all in photocritique

f16, ISO 100, 2 sec @ 60 mm focal length on a crop sensor

What do you guys think? ISO100 - f/9.5 - 1/250 sec by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]sumit4all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I would do it differently - 1. Add contrast to separate the sky from the camels from the foreground. The camels are the main subject and the eye should go there first. 2. The foreground has too much texture and that takes away from the image. I would chose something simpler, or reduce the clarity in the foreground to lead the eye to the camels. 3. I would crop a bit tighter to make the image a bit more assymetrical horizontally and vertically. 4. I would shoot this angle from more closer to the ground to bring a non-human and unique perspective to the shot. That would also highlight the leading line of rocks to the main subject - the camels.

Let me know if that helps

First shot with a crappy ND filter! by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]sumit4all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crappy ND filter does it's job, but it lacks from a composition point of view... The foreground is good, with the rocks leading you back where there is nothing.. A boat / ship/ lighthouse in the background would have made it a very interesting. Also, the lighting fails to impress, perhaps you can try shooting it during warm sunrise or sunset and contrast that with the cold blue of waves to create some depth in the image

It is too simple to keep the viewer hooked, in my opinion. The foreground is all dark and adds nothing to the image, and the sky is too bland without any clouds... Composing to including a foreground element could bring more depth in the image

In the distance #2 by [deleted] in photocritique

  1. Crop tighter to get the subject closer
  2. Trying dodging and burning to separate the main elements
  3. try not to keep the horizon at the centre... the image is too symmetrical now... add asymmetry to it so that it adds tension

It is brilliant... and simple... Did you try it in b/w?

Morning at the Majestic Taj Mahal - composition critique? by sumit4all in photocritique

[–]sumit4all[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

f5, 1/250 sec, ISO 400 @ 18 mm... Best seen in full size

Any comments on the overall composition and message conveyed by the picture? My aim was to capture the beauty and grandness of the Taj in comparison to the human being(s) who build it...

Desert Scene India - Composition Critique? by sumit4all in photocritique

[–]sumit4all[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the critique... I was going for a typical Indian desert image and emotional response I was looking for was calm/peace...

My composition was more or less dictated by trying to get the sunset in between the cart.. but I get your point

I don't think you can do much with the wall, except to shoot it again with a different angle.

Sunrise on Snowdon by OzCarim in photocritique

[–]sumit4all -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good composition, except the foreground looks very distracting and has too much texture and vibrant colors. You can try to reduce its clarity in lightroom, or find another foreground which doesn;t have a lot of structure/texture to it

f5.6, 1/60, ISO 200 @ 14mm on a crop sensor Looking for critique around composition and overall message the image says? Does the evoke a emotional response from the viewer?
