Nr 4 and 5 are absolutely my favourite, I like how you caught the sun in the photo's.

I would turn nr 6 in fully b/w or leave it in full color, the combination doesn't add much to the photo.

In nr 2 the horizon looks a little of to me and I would crop it more, leave the ground out of the photo.

[purplerose]

Top ones for me are 5, 7 & 8.

#5 has a nice play on the diagonals and the tones are great.

#7 has a mysterious mood for me.

#8 has a very nice composition as well.

I'll have to disagree with Ment about #6 though. I am not a fan of partially desaturated photos, but I like the way it looks in #6. Would crop out the light area of grass in it though. It distracts a bit from the blue graffiti.

[nematix]

thanks for the comments, i'll have a play around with the suggested crops. here's a few others i hadn't posted in the previous thread:

I'm guessing most of the graffiti is by the same artist, some seriously good talent there. Not much to add to what's already been said though...

Not too keen on 11, but 9 is really good, love the low aspect down the tracks with the gap in the tunnel roof :)

Like 10 as well, not sure about the tilt on the camera though.

[Jofx]

love the raw feel to your stuff.

[purplerose]

#10 & 13 are awesome.

I really like the tilt in #10, adds to the mood.

Great timing in #13.

[carolupus]

i really like 9, it's amazing how well your centered pics work. 2 needs a horizon adjustment though.

yea 1, 4, 6 and 7 are the same guy. goes by the name of Nacre. seriously good stuff indeed.

thanks, yea i've always been told that symetry is bad (mmmkay) but these turned out quite nice i think.
and you're right, 2 is a bit wonky :\

Really nice mood in #16.

[Ment]

Of your last update I like nr. 16 best, Like Rose said you really captured the mood. The person doesn't sit exactely in the middle, it would be perfect if he did.

[nematix]

sorry for the lack of updates!
have loads of new stuff to post so will post a few every day for a while.

Love the DOF in 32. Suggest playing around more with the contrast and cropping (Square crop?).

Nice capture of the setting in 34. Contrast looks a bit flat, should brighten the highlights a little.

Wonderful work in 36, would darken those shadows a bit.

Nice work in 37.

Eerie atmosphere in 43.

49 is pretty nice. Good tones. Watch out for cutting off the ears and paws though.


Good updates. :)

you really have a good eye for interesting compositions and I also like the colors in your photos a lot. In #13 you caught the perfect moment, #16 and #41 are other two of my favourites.
In your last update, there are many good ones, too. I like 51, 52 [really good portrait, so natural], 57, 59, 60, 63 a lot, and the last one's great, too :)
50 might look more interesting with a less central composition and maybe a different angle. Same goes for 61, i think.

Looking forwards to seeing more! :)

:D

[purplerose]

Good tones in #68. Would suggest trying a square crop on it, placing the trails close to the top right corner or the bottom left corner.

#83 looks pretty nice. I think it would have better impact as a B/W and if the horizon was straightened.

I think a square crop would work on #113 as well. Has good tones and an eerie quality to it.

[nematix]

Thanks. I'll give your suggestions a go.

Quite a big update. Let me know if you think I'm not being selective enough! :)

It never hurts to be a bit more selective, but most of these are pretty good. I believe everyone will have their own group of favorites. :) My faves are #s: 124, 130, 134, 135, 158, 177 & 185. I think 134 could use some tighter cropping though.

Good work.

Just looked through all of them. There are too many amazing ones to name and I wont try. I think you understand comp and exposure really well by now and i think if you dont already (a few look like you do) you need to find a spot. then really plan the story your trying to tell and think about every single aspect of that piece. lighting, effect, crop, exposure, everything you can and really plan that pic out. then go back when the lighting is just right and for you i think a tripod would be best for most pieces to snap a perfect piece of art.

Have you thought about mulitple exposures into a panorama? Quite a few of those pics if stretched much wider would really make some fantastic prints!

Love it keep working!
