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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
