Seeing that you are new to DPC, I'll start by saying that take the comments you get into consideration, but don't take them personally.
Your results don't suck totally. You did get a few comments that can lead you toward improving things.
I think that the combination of the blurry guard railing and the way the light is coming through the sky at an agle, really does make this look like there is a window in the way. I realize that there isn't, but see how the sun strikes through the clouds at a southwest angle and then there are also light patches on the guard rail that are also going in a south west angle? Kind of makes it look that way.
Also, the blurred forground is a definate sign that this was taken out of a moving vehicle, which generally does give one the feeling that this was just a quick shot that you took.
I tried this. Crop it so that the guard rail is out of the picture. There isn't really a lot of water then, but at least the blurry rail is out of the picture.
I think it would have higher visual impact had it been different lighting conditions. This day looks to have been a bit overcast, and foggy. It kind of hides the detail in the buildings that are in front of the hill to the left.
I think that it would work with the crop as I mentioned. The sky creates some nice negative space, and while it's not the most exciting sky, it does go with the foggy, overcast theme you have going on the city.
An even more ideal solution would be if you could have gotten your camera up higher to take a shot. maybe even take a few 'blind' shots held way above the car. This might have gotten a bit more water and a bit less guard rail.
I think the city is neat looking though. I've never been there.

Well... I must say that the results I got suck big time... But I don't really care, because I know that my picture wasn't good enough. I took this picture on a bridge, while the car was moving. The sky was grey and hazy...
But for your information mindyparker, there's no reflection, since I took the picture with my arm out of the car!
Thanks for those who commented! |

| I can see the reflection from your window. This doesn't feel very personal. Just like a snapshot. |

5. Fits the theme well enough, and there are no blatant 'you suck!' flaws to it, but neither does it really grab me for any reason at all. For reasons of composition, cropping, or subject choice, it's just a photo, and doesn't do especially much for me, aesthetically.
If it weren't so grey and hazy, it might have more personality; if the buildings were bigger, or the sky more interesting, likewise. |
