Critique the photo above you! - Page 3

Yep, that photo was taken at f/5 with a 13sec exposure time ISO100, I had to override the auto focus, as I said on the camera thread the lens seems to be front focusing when going for infinite. But I really like this lens, it renders colors great which was what called my attention to it, and it's VERY sharp after f/2.0~2.8.

But back to it, wow, that lens IS sharp. Great color contrast and depth of field. I like it!

Well, shot of my rig, quite hard to get it right due to the lack of light, to be honest I don't know where the camera focused (18-55mm)

Yeah I might have done a small amount of fill flash to get more detail and kept the fan light colors but I'm assuming that wasnt the effect that you were going for. So nicely done.

Here is one from a wedding I just shot over the weekend not done with PP but thought I would through it up anyway. I hate the carpet on the wall but it is what I had to work with.

Hah, nicely done. I can tell the couple has a good sense of humor.

The lighting bugs me just ever so slightly, seems a bit dark. But it's no big deal. Just a personal irk.
Great shot otherwise, I love the compilation you did of the couple around the top of the main shot.

Now mind you, this was a spur-of-the-moment shot. Nothing was planned, there was no posing involved, no lighting was adjusted. She just sprawled out on my bed and I went snap-happy.

Since my last one got skimmed over, would someone mind critiquing it? =/
I've been itching to know what some of you thought of that particular portrait..

Sometimes real life just isn't good enough.
Maybe a little Post Processing to bump up the levels would help.
For future reference, I would of probably stood farther back to get the entire marquee in frame. Other than that I'm not sure what to suggest, it's not that you didn't take a good picture, the focus is fine.
The subject just doesn't really do anything for me.

Honestly i think it looks very good for a spur of the moment shot . The lighting made the image look kind of milky, which gives it a nice touch that i like. Great job.

This Shot i took down in the city, I Used PS to B&W it and color the light the original color it was.

Thanks bro, I've been waiting forever to see what someone thought of that shot.

As for yours, I love it. The pastel hue on the light itself blends perfectly with the shot, I would of pulled the frame out a tiny bit myself.. given it a bit more depth, but that's nitpicking at best.
Wonderful shot, mate.


Got this one handheld in my backyard last week.

EDIT: What does OCN do to our pics? O_o
I just went back and forth from this pic on Flickr to here, and it's definitely blurred out on here. There's a perfect tiny little reflection in the dew drop on the top of the flower that's clear as day on Flickr, but it's all foggy looking on here.
I wonder what's up.

photochop it.

crop the foreground, or blur the two background flowers a bit more; they have too much detail to be bokeh, but enough that you are distracted knowing what they are.
