[SI] Local Culture - comments from a rank amateur.
I suppose someone needs to test the water on this one, so here goes.
Bring a pinch of salt and pull over a chair. Jim Kramer: I find my eye wandering upwards on this shot. With the top cropped out my eye wanders on down the hill to the next set of lights. I'm not too sure what to focus on or what to take from the shot Al Denelsbeck: A very pleasant shot indeed. Nice composition, still some detail in the fisherpeeps. I like it. Bowser: I like this one too. The kid looking at the camera makes the shot. Ideally I'd have liked a slightly lower camera angle to bring the kid up into the frame a little. I think it could have added impact. Alan Browne: Nice shot, nice house. Technically a fine shot. It's the kind of shot that would have benefitted hugely from a little human interest imho. Someone standing at the doorway would have been ideal. Doug Payne: I think I'd have concentrated on the horse & buggy with this one. The day was just too dull for the bigger picture to work imho. It's nearly moody, but not quite. Rich Pos: I like this one. The subdued lighting emphasises the ramshackle nature of the subject. My only nitpick is that I find the red in the flag and the highlight beside it fighting for attention. The highlight is a little bit distracting. Ken Nadvornick: This one I really like. I'm a sucker for monochrome anyway. Nice composition, dof, sharpness, traffic movement. Interesting place well captured. Joseph Kewfli: I'd imagine there's plenty culture growing under that counter:-) Nice capture of interaction between the 2 women. Vic Mason: Yuck! This shot is just teeming with culture.... I think a more dynamic composition would have been better. Turning the lens to the right a little would have made more use of the sweeping curve, unless of course that would have brought distractions into the lower right corner. Mike Henley: Coronation Street? There's some culture growing on the roof of the house on the left, but other than that the shot, and subject area, is bereft of culture. That's one dull looking place. Michael J Hoffman: This one I didn't like at first but it's grown on me. There's plenty going on here without being too busy. Lot's of interest in the faces of those waiting in line. The old guy in the red shirt looks worried they might run out. Colm Gallagher: What was I thinking of? Truthfully, this one is a bit tenuous. The cross is a symbol of Christian culture. The deer just got in the way.... The Dave: Lovely sky. The rest just doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. The building on the right looks like it's going to fall onto the cars parked in front of it. Bret Douglas: Interesting angle on this one. The elevated viewpoint certainly makes for a more interesting shot. They've left plenty space for new customers in the graveyard... Matt Clara: This is my favourite shot of them all. I love the colours, the distortion, the colours, the light in the sky, the colours, the movement in the flags. Did I mention I love the colours? Was this taken in Chicago? 1st flag US, 2nd Chicago, 3rd Illinois? -- Colm |
