Digital camera & digital photography resources
for professional & amateur photographers

I would love and appreciate feedback! Thanks to those who spend the time! If your time is limited at least pick a favorite and comment. I am interested in the public opinion compared to my own so I can learn the difference, good or bad, public opinion mixed with personal is the key to success and that is what I am hoping to achieve. I can't do it without you.

Ok....I did it.
I think you have a pretty good eye and many of the shots I would have been proud to have taken.
Now this is very subjective...and understand I'm a kodachrome kind of guy...I like bright colors......In almost every shot....the processing looks dull....there is no life, brightness, vividness in the shots and it is throughout.....this may be because of the settings in the camera. But, if it is wanted it can be easily fixed in photoshop. Also, many of the flower pics appear to have an overall greencast to them. It could be my monitor, but I haven't noticed it on other pics.
What kind of camera are you using...I didn't see it in the data on the shots.

warmest regards.....

now post some more.....

I had a little more time this morning.....I thought I'd show you what I mean.

Here is the picture of the train and architecture.....which is a really nice shot.....it's got it all....interesting building....great clouds...and modern train with color that is bold............
but it seems flat....

after adjustments...


Again, it is subjective...but you asked for opinions.
What I did above is.
USM 35,60,0
USM 80,1,0
Burn tool at midlevels...15% for the color in the train.

by the way.....where is this taken?....looks like and interesting place.

I hope this is helpful,

bud

I agree with Bud... The photos are interesting and dynamic. You have good eye for abstracts and shapes. I would like bolder colors and a bit mor of contrast, kind of what bud showed on the train picture. My 2 cents!

Bud you certainly have added a WOW factor to the photo the added punch really brings up an already interesting photo a notch or two … nicely done

First off, nice job Bud, I couldn't agree more and you did a nice job.

TToad, you have a great eye for geometry. Many of your photos are quite striking in composition. I personnally liked the Ghost train (just 'cause I like old stuff).

Ghost Train is one of my most favorites and I wondered why it hadn't gotten response. Thanks!
