I've seen a lot of plants and trees... Yes, they meet the challenge, but where is the creativity... It's the image that stands out from the rest that wins me over.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi CarpeNoctem :)

I always appreciate the study of classic photographers in one's own personal journey to improve. Ansel Adams was a definitive master of both the photography and printing process. I'm glad you have chosen him as a subject of study. You will learn quite a bit and delve into some subject matter that you may not have otherwise :) You will find inspiration in Edward Weston's works also.

This photo, as presented, doesn't seem to create much visual appeal. I think your background surface and perspective on the shot may be contributing to that. Depth is important, and this photo is rather two-dimensional. I don't think the viewer found much interest in the presentation...

interesting idea. On my screen the thread has lost some of its detail.

This is a clever, unusual shot. The dark textured background has a beautiful tonal range and the juxtaposition of the brightness of the scissors and string completes it well. This would make a beautiful fine art print. 10

I love this photo!!! How perfect is the reflection from the glass, and the page you choose to display!!!! Talent! I spend hours at night lying in bed trying to get to sleep, but thinking of all the wonderful shots I could take - then they never work out how they are ment to!
