Welcome to CA! :)

I really like the composition and mood in the majority of your photographs, the textures are rockin as well. :)

I think your strongest are:
SwingsWaiting-1
Hayden
ShesReady-1
ProtectiveLight-1
MissedCarriage

They have great lighting, DOF, composition and just the right amount of grain to convey the mood.

I like the idea behind "Re-InventionCleanWater," but I'm being distracted by the blur on the foliage near the bottom of the image.

"Liam2-1" has a great mood, but I think you could push the highlights a bit so the image won't be as flat. What's the fog/white stuff at the bottom?

I like the first sky images, but the grain is distracting me a bit. The same goes for "Dead-1," but it's not as extreme a distraction for the mood.

For some of the others, it's just a matter of DOF.

Hope to see more from you! :) Don't forget to number your images; makes it easier to leave feedback. :)

By the way, do you process and/or print your own film?

Yeah its a clear image but I had to layer them and I couldnt get it perfectly layered but Im going to have to b/c its too distracting for people.

"Liam2-1" has a great mood, but I think you could push the highlights a bit so the image won't be as flat. What's the fog/white stuff at the bottom?

I have no idea :) I think when it was processed, something happened.

Good point.

Some times, but not always. I personally dont care b/c Im not focused on process than I am on the concept, but sometime the concept relies on the process. So idk

Thanks for the feedback.

Cool. :)

I think Liam2 can be redeemed with better printing. :) The white part is probably on the negative as well, so that area could be burned. The highlights could either be dodged or another filter could be used.

I'm a film geek if you can't tell... :) it's fun.

Klips' poached three point crit:

1. A lot of these images suffer from being unnecessarily unsharp. Some of them benefit from this, but most don't. Work on this, and they will become a lot clearer.
2. Highlights - don't blow them too much or too often, especially in the colour photos. You seem to have better control in the black and white ones.
3. Processing is vital, never ever forget this. Ansel Adams is recognised as one of the world's greatest photographers not only because of his excellent artistic vision, but because he knew exactly how to develop the prints to reveal their maximum potential.

Cheers,
Klips
