im seriously just trying to increase your ability and willing to offer my advice. if you're about to dismiss this as laughable then i'll refrain from responding - you're more than welcome to ignore my opinion if you like.

like the play with textures, just the last one strikes me as a bit more bland than the others.

as my photography capabilities and equipment is limited, this is how i choose to shoot most of my subjects...focusing on some interesting juxtaposition/contrast of different textures and surface patterns.

ozone you seem to be posting a ton of stuff - use some discretion in which pictures you post up. in your first post today i really like this one

as it is the strongest technically and composition wise - i'd urge you to explore the use of curves to edit more contrast into that black and white. it makes it pop more and would really set it apart. i love the repetition tho. also this one

looks like it has potential compositionally, but the blacks are too dark and those shadows deter from the overall picture. with curves you would be able to maintain that darkness in the roots on the rock foreground left side but hopefully (depending on original exposure) be able to bring out some detail in those shadows underneath the rock. ideally if you had taken this with a higher aperture value such as f11 or even f22 - more detail would have been captured in those shadows.

alf i really like what you've done with the textures except for the last one, but always be cognizant of the lines in the texture and make sure to frame them compositionally. for example i think if #1 had been taken at a dead on angle to the wall it would have been better, but i love the crack in #3 leading away from the perspective angle that you were with the wall when you took it.

and one more scan from this shoot.

joelz: Seriously, if you want to take bokeh shots, buy a goddamn lens that can render good bokeh. Those shots sure are colorful, but the light disks are shit

I thought they were alright?

The shape of the lights are nice and circular and not all jagged and angular like with a cheap 50 mm.

When i look at your image Boston, Im automatically drawn to the largest graffiti on the right of the frame, so it kind of bothers me that the crop cuts off part of it

sorry, no crop though. when i was composing it i wanted the broken pipes lower left in the frame so i sacrificed the grafitti over there.

back to work tho sadly.

maybe another angle would have been beneficial, as from this perspective the large, bright window catches my eye then pushes me to the graffiti, which makes me assume is the main focus

another angle might have been better to include that graffiti on the right yep. that twas actually the intention tho to focus on the light. the purposeful overexposure of everything outside was meant to offer a stark contrast to the desolate surroundings of the graffiti that you only see after the fact.
