I like the last one. It has a very nice angle. Just wish her head wasn't cut off though.

[Gentile]

Thanks. Ya it was kinda difficult I had to shoot quick haha. I gotta work on that.

The first one is stunning. I love everything about this picture.

@aliccat08: Thank you =]

4 For my photography class we have to take three pictures that have something to do with Tokyo trains, and they have to all be in one location so this was my first try. I'm actually pretty happy with it. So any INTENSE feedback is appreciated. I want an A haha. For a larger image click here (http://xgentilex.deviantart.com/art/Tama-Tracks-82976277).

Although I like the second one, I think it may be a bit cliche for train themed images. Try to get lower, more dynamic angles. In the last one for instance, I think it would be more dynamic if the photo orientation was vertical and you shot up from the ground (essentially, a photo shot from a low angle).

@purplerose: Thanks for the feedback! I see what you're saying and it makes sense. I'll probably try something more out at those tracks over the weekend =]

My teacher also suggested adding a person into it, like walking on the tracks at a distance. Someone that looks like...mysterious. Possibly in a trench coat. He also suggested adding a colored tint to it, like blue. Any thoughts on those?

Ok so my friend point out to me that the frame in the top one wasn't quite as filled as the others so I filled that out a bit more. I also switched the outside pictures to add more movement.

I'm going to shoot at a bigger station today though, so it probably won't be tracks. If I get anything good I'll post up =]

5 More trains. This time me in my Harajuku outfit XD

I really like the idea, just I believe you don't really stand out from the background.

[carolupus]

awe, that looks sweet! and a little old-school, which I like :)
but as Ment said, you don't really stand out from the background. maybe you could make it one photo with yourself 3 times in it in photoshop, if you like that kind of thing..?

[Gentile]

Thanks for the comments guys.

@carolupus: I would do the three times in one, but this is for a school assignment and I need three separate pictures in a layout like that.

I'm working on trying to find different ways to make myself stand out...it's hard haha.

[purplerose]

Nice photos. :) Try playing around with tinting like your professor suggested. Like maybe red or pink?
