Agreed. The picture looks a little cluttered. I'd try to find a shot where you could compose where there's fewer plant things.

Thanks for the input guys! It's my first ever b&w and aside from the cluttering I think the processing turned out quite nicely. I really like the bokeh textures in the top right.

I'm finding it hard to find stuff to shot since it snowed really early this year. It evaporated the next day but it caused almost everything to die. So i'm stuck with bare branches, but with no snow either. I'm sure there's lots to shoot, i'm just not thinking of it yet.

I'll go out tomorrow and shoot some less cluttered stuff...

shot for a magazine cover.

Nice angle on the second one! What magazine is it for? Are you going to photoshop the photo at all? I'm noticing lines and blotches on the models stomach. (Fine for a natural look, but it might be bad if its one of those magazines that photoshops arms to be 20 feet long :D)

It's for a student magazine. It's just about the campus and things. What lines do you see?

Just right before the skirt in between the belly button and her right hand on the second one (same on the first). I can't really tell what it is at this resolution, but it looks like it might be a stretch mark. Also a few blemishes between the right tie in the shirt and the right hand, also on the far left near the skirt.

It's nothing major, just thought I'd point it out.

I agree, the processing is very nice. I also agree about the bokeh textures. (Y)

@ Moonman

that last shot of the pup makes my cold hard exterior manliness just melt away :cry:

@ Bofido

bare branches, man. they're a staple of my photography from December through to March.

They also make crazy silhouette pics as you can see: 2311407832_2a9c096f52_m.jpg2170638836_d517af365c_m.jpg, give it a go.

From me:

Should be able to get some nice "hobo" like shots of Charlie over the xams period, lol.

Wow, those do look nice! I guess silhouettes do make better bare tree pics. I'll try and find a day with a good sunrise/set, or maybe try something in B&W.

I think b&w is good this time of year, since there's almost 0% colour in my area. Instead of muddy browns and yellows you get crisp textures and striking b&w contrast.

I did a photo of branches during the day (below), but I think it looks too "flat" / somthing else I can't put my finger on. For some reason my friends really like it.

It could be I showed them the print version, which is 13x19, and it has different colours/ way more detail.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By +pmrd · Posted

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.

      That's what happens when aesthetics take over UX.

      That's not what I meant:) I like the tabs being above the URL bar, but previously the tab selection started from the top of the screen (y=0). So I could just quickly push my mouse up and done. Now I have to actually aim it just slightly below the top, because the tab is now a few pixels below the top. In other words, previously I only had to aim with my mouse horizontally, now I have to both vertically and horizontally. Super annoying.
