Silent Strider
By Stephan
Critique by Silver Fox
I like the overall lighting in the hallways, some great sharpness on the brown bricks, and I like the shadows on the handrails. It would seem to have been taken in a Monastery as the person would most likely seem to be dressed like a Monk. I like the way you have him blurred, a mystery person in a rush. . .
The color of the brick is really nice, the various browns and the darkened mortar lines, the painted walls; but there�s something wrong with the whole photograph, it looks crooked or something, I can�t put my �finger� on it. And did you �lighten� everything when you were editing it? It looks kind of off on the painted walls?
Okay. I�m reading your comments now. It was tilted originally. I don�t think the person is distracting at all, but adds to the interest of the photo. It would be boring without him.
Not a bad finish, Stephan � 56/203. The main question is: Did you have fun? I enjoyed looking at your work. So for now, keep shooting and I hope to see more of your work in the coming weeks and months ahead.
Regards,
Ed

Thank you for your comments. Yes, the "painted" look and the dark/eerie theme was what I was aiming for. Like a poster for a horror movie. I'm glad that many of you liked that. I increased the contrast quite a bit and sharpened it in post processing.
ChrisW123: Originally it was titled to the left and I rotated it. I had a version where the lines on top of the frame were perfectly straight, but somehow it appeared to me that the image was still "toppling" to the left. I think it's because of the balance of the image and the way the stairs go up. So I rotated it one degree more to the right and it looked much better to me.
StevePax and Rgold: The person was intended. I can't see why it would be distracting? From what? I mean the person really is the point of interest.
KAOS: Thanks :)

Great what you made of this pic (I know the situation and can guess how it looked right out of the camera)...
Gratulation!

| I think this would have great without the person in it. It distracts from an interesting subject. |

| That's really cool.. but again... the picture is tilted to the right. With such a cool shot didn't you notice this while you were editing it? Still give you a 7 however because it's great. |

| Waaa! Such a nice image, but such a pity the quality had to suffer (from sharpening?). Still: 7 |

| I'd be intrigues to know how you've got this quality into this shot - it almost looks painted! great work - for me, perhaps a little more contrast overall would have aded mystery even more. Is it a very dark shot that's been lightened hugely? |
