Flight of the Valkyrie

Lev, the black and white is much better than the color.

I see the man in the bg is gone.

The tonal value is excellent.

Good luck.

IMO, with my background at risk, I have to say that the lighting is just ok.

I keep saying that there are no correct ways to light, but, there are plenty of wrong ways.

What I mean by that, is, again, photography, both still, and motion, rely on first impression.

There are many ways to get that impression, and most of the time it usually falls back on the lighting.

Here, your image looks flat to me.

It's like your key light, and your back are at the same levels of transmission. Your, f stops are similar.

If this is the case, most photographers in my industry never keep the f stops the same on a lighting set up.

Your key is where you get your base level, and normally your fill is softer, and your back is a bit hotter to give a nice edge.

Negative fill is introduced either by using dark fabric like duvatene, or using even less light on one side of the subject. this gives the nice shadows, and makes the light more interesting.

Three questions.

1)Where is the naked woman?

2)Where is the banana?

3)Where s the landscape?

good luck.

Not framed in landscape, and not a landscape by traditional thought.

A way too busy snapshot of a crowd of people, all wearing hats of similar make.
You're not letting me care, what am I supposed to look at? The only thing that stands out is the 'Rendezvous' sign.

I guess I see the coincidence on the sign, and the crowd, but then, why didn't you title the image to help me know what's on your mind?

Your tonal value is just ok, the whites are there, barely, but your blacks seem to dip into the abyss.

A shoehorn like this is way too obvious, and won't make any big marks in a DPC contest.

Good luck.

architectural, not landscape unless you are considering your frame, then yes, you are right.

The tonal value needs help, your whites are not there, and your blacks dip into the abyss.

I can see the water line, which takes away from your accomplishment.

Another image similar to this filled the globe with more water, taking that line away.

An above average score, but, could of been higher if it were not for that line.
