Howth C&C 2

superflyninja

thanks

AnimalRights

#1 would be the weakest by far for me, unnatural sky and the shadows on the building and the lack of detail in the trees.

#2 I like a fair bit but you missed the bottom of the shadow from the shell.

#3 Interesting but not really for me, again top right a bit too dark.

#4 A better version of #3 but not really for me.

#5 meh

#6 not for me either.

So to cap it off #2 wins for me.
A tip also is around 3-4 pics are best for C&C, 5-6 dilutes their impact, no matter how good/average.

Cheers for the feedback.
#1 I had purposely lost detail in the trees to just put the focus on the ruins and yeah I think there is a bit too much magenta in the sky!
#2 In the original photo the full shadow is there but I cropped it to how it is now. Ill have another gander at a recrop.

Il leave a bit of feedback ...

#1. as AR said is too oversaturated. The blue in the sky and the orange in the building are too strong. The detail in the building is lost. I dont really think that the composition is the greatest to start with as i find that im focusing on the over saturated sky and the dark foreground stuff, missing out the most interesting thing.

#2. I also think that whole shadow should be in the shot. I have seen these kinds of shots before, and they come out really nice and tropical feeling. I think taking the photo from the other side there would have been more light and greater detail on the shell, with the shadow bouncing off behind it.

#3. I get what you were going for, there can be some nice patterns in the sand created by the water, but it lacks anything special for me.

#4. I think this might be the best shot. Nice focus and texture.

#5. as AR said ... meh.

#6. I like this shot too, or i like the idea of this shot. I especially like the birds in the shots, they really add to the photo. Pity you missed the blue sky or orange sunset sky, got kindof an inbetween sky.

I would say that #4 or #6 win. Think about where the best light is coming from to get the best results. And think about the end product before you start snapping away, take your time on the ones you think could be nice, less is more when it comes to taking pictures i think.

#1 I misjudged the colouring of this. (I blame my laptop screen still ) In terms of composition how cud it be improved?
#2 A recrop is in order....
#6 Nah with this one i wanted the gradient from the blue at the top to yellow for a change but cool if it didnt work out. cheers for the feedback always valued kids!

I like the shell and 2nd last one of ripples.

I like the 3rd and 4th : they're interesting & colorful.
The last has some kind of symmetry going on, but might need a better crop !
