Critique Manchester & The Quays

[ArronTucker]

Well it's been a long time, fell out of love with my camera and never seemed to nail any shots. After a recent trip to Manchester and it's Christmas Markets I think in love again with photography.

Feedback most appreciated.

First one for me, I like the cross hatch effect, some nice lines.

 

[ArronTucker]

Thanks No.1 is my favourite from set managed to get whilst there.

That's a lovely set, especially the second one, there's something about the interaction of the lines formed by the cranes and the con trails. They all work well in black and white.

Good work.

Thanks, they definitely do work better in B&W than did in colour (to my eye anyway)

I agree

 

[Musicman]

I'll take #3, thank you

I love the contrast between the textures in the sky and the hard lines of the structure. There's something rather sci-fi about it, like it could be the cover of one of Iain M Banks' [RIP] Culture novels.

 

[ArronTucker]

Thank you

Good shots! Get out there & take more you moaning git! Are there any more historical sites along the canal? The modern stuff is nice but I'd like to see an area where there's still some evidence of the industrial revolution.

Very nice - gritty yet clinical.

I like the vertical right / angled left composition of 1 as well as the general feel to the image and processing.

The relationship between the cranes and trails in 2 work well.

3 is very strong - just pipping number 2 imho

 

[ArronTucker]

Thanks for the comments.
We only spent time around Media City, sure be plenty to see if used canals to walk back into Manchester.

Looks like architecture might be my new photography love

Good set. love the first image.

 

[minnnt]

That's a very nice group of shots. #2 is the one that stood out for me.

 

[Ricardodaforce]

That crane shot, number 2, is just awesome!

 

[ArronTucker]

Good set. love the first image.

Thanks

Thank you, I felt this one was a weaker shot compared to No.1 as well

That crane shot, number 2, is just awesome!

I have to say hearing that from yourself is a big compliment, thanks.

I like them all but it is the crane shot that really grabbed me. I think it was a great spot to see the con trails and contrast with the crane booms.

 

[SFTPhotography]

I like one a lot, but I love two. I love the sense of chaos it instills. The media city shot is nice too

 

[Forbiddenbiker]

Second set fails against the first for me ..the first few have that little something extra originality, which I guess you spotted hence they went up first. First shots too skew for me but cool though, seconds fabulously simple yet effective, and the third is intriguing and pretty.
