Reticello (a blown glass technique)
by lindes

Comment:
Very useful feedback, Neil. Thanks!

I did actually try to minimize blow-out, and would have done so given a bit more time to spend -- perhaps I'll re-shoot at some point, and see what I can come up with... Because of the shape of the piece, it was hard to not have _something_ be blown out -- but hard doesn't mean impossible, so I may well try again. :-)

Anyway, again, thanks!

I would like this better, I think, with just a tad more space on each side -- especially the left. (Top and bottom are probably OK, but even there I might give a little more space.)

An ok image on its own, but the title gives it quite a bit more. :-)

Between the small upload size, and the bright-but-mixing-together colors, I found it difficult to see what your shape was, at first.

Tangled Up In Blue

I would prefer this shot with either a deeper DOF, or focused at (or at least nearer) the front-most links...

Interesting scene. To my eye, though, the rotation really detracts from the image.

Marriage in Circles and Squares

This shot, especially as titled, would do well with a square crop, I'm thinking. It would also be nice if the gems had more in the way of highlights. I like the theme, though.

Very nice shot. I would like it if there was just a _tad_ more space to the right of that side-view mirror... otherwise great.

Hmm, with the contrast and color and such, this has definite potential... I'm afraid I'm not much of a fan of the overall composition, though. Perhaps the cell tower could have been made to be further to the left in the frame? Even making a square crop of this otherwise-as-is might work, though that does get rid of the sun... Not sure what's best, just some thoughts. Somewhere in the 6 to 7 range for me.

Time to Reflect

The face doesn't do much for me, but the photo does. Nice colors, nice reflection capter, etc.
