ME..On 1 of your pic that you posted ...frog. I got the inpression that you were too far away then cropped to close it fuzzed out. I did that a lot whan I 1st got my camera....
Okay... so I guess I should ask too then, Anyone with advice for me?
What could/should have been done with my shot from the photo contest?
Fed,
The trees in your photograph are what distracted me. As soon as I view it my eyes go right to the trees and look through the opening. (which I belive is why they are there) They took the architecture out of the photo.
me, I think the only thing that distracted for me was the glare at the middle through the opening that made me squint at your photo, but I really liked the idea of it, and the beams and thought it a very interesting shot.
katie, I think you did the same mistake I did which was to try to get the whole building in and being a bit too far away so you really can't get the essence of the building itself. I felt it wasn't as distinct and clear as it could have been. (and no worries I did the same dang thing with mine, I just couldn't resist the little doggie in the corner of the picture that I wanted to keep in there :-) so I chose that one instead of the closer shots)
Fedup, I enjoyed your photo very much and the trees did not distract for me they added more interest. I thought it well done. I'd be interested to see the difference with b&w.
I think everyone did a fabulous job this round, and I am looking forward to the next challenge. And congratulations to our movers-on.
Matt, I sometimes forget that I'm sharing with people not from my own neighborhood. This casino/building is in the middle of a Freddrick Law Olmstead park. Mostly all of its design (all the way around) is of looking through, for that reason is how I lined up my picture.
For this reason as well is why I had not opted for B&W, because the green of the grass and the red of the bricks.
But here's the suggested B&W, thoughts? Which one is better? (any other advice is most appreciated)
