Artificial - Lovely flowers and nicely composed photo! The increased whiteness on your edited version is much better, but i prefer the crop on your first version.
Personal - Well done, your son! Sounds really far to swim!
Effort - Wow, you’ve made some beautiful things! I like how even the shadows have lovely patterns and details on them.
Technology - I like the cropped version. A nice photo of a beautiful machine.
A nice choice for this theme The crop definitely works well and removes any distraction from the engine, while the high POV works well to show more of the engine and the train than we would normally see.
Nice take on the theme, like the viewpoint and the inclusion of the colourful train. Just a couple of minors, the lamp post isn't quite vertical and I would clone out the man by the warning sign.
Works for me. Horizontals can be inferred as in this case and not spirit-levelled lines across the page. I like the vivid colours too and particularly the glossy sheen to the top of the barriers.
Horizontal - Interesting shot for the theme, I wouldn't have thought about taking it from that viewpoint but as Carl says it works with the inferred horizontal.
Effort - You must have been so pleased with making them yourself and you have captured them really well.
Personal - congratulations to our son for the achievement.
Well, it's level (crossing) so I assuming that has to be horizontal
Well spotted... I might have used a slightly wider aperture to get less depth of field and throw some of the barrier out of focus? Others have mentioned getting the verticals vertical as well. The man I like in the shot - but I might have tried to get him all in shot, perhaps rather than just half of him?
I find the lamppost a bit distracting, but I guess it's difficult to get everything upright at that angle, some effective bright colours in the barrier and the train.
Lots of comments about the angle of the lamp post (oddly none about the other side of the station) but taken from that angle, without a serious piece of lens correction you'll always get that trapezoid effect. The train itself is nicely vertical, and contrasts with the diagonal horizontals.
Hi Minx..... i'm sorry i haven't seen your thread sooner... very lax and am making up now... great start to the year i see (didnt see your name down for the photo24 though ... maybe i a few weeks times at the half way point) ... liking your takes on the themes.. esp danger (dastardly naughty cropping to me us think the worst) and spiky.. loved that one.. oh..metal..very creative..
The second one is interesting, but their are quite strong chromatic aberations between the tree and the blown sky, so imo the first shot is the better of the two.
