Old Cemetery in Howth
-
Hi Jevgenij Pilipov,
This is indeed an interesting photograph and you have fitted
quite a bit in.You show us the Cemetery of the title and it’s surroundings.
Nice contrast of the old ruins and the modern shop.Theres a couple of things that fight for my attention.
You angled the camera downwards, probably to include more
of the foreground, and in doing so caused the vertical lines
to be slanted.
This is especially noticable on the LHS of the image.
I do think these lines need to be straight unless you are
purposely making them slant or the subject matter is so
strong that they don’t matter.Secondly there is a large area of shadow in the lower
RHS of the image.
I’m not sure this helps the overall quality of the photograph.Maybe moving forward and taking the picture from the wall
might have helped both of these issues.I don’t mean to be too critical as it is quite a good photograph and
anyway it’s just an opinion.Well done.
John.
Hi John Stewart,
thank you for your time and honest critics, and you are right about LHS. Due limitation of used lenses ( kit 18-55), I have to go a bit down to somehow include more of the foreground, to make composition maximum completed.
The large area of shadow obviously big tree behind me, I was looking for the best position to minimize that area, but than I’ve risked to ruined again taken composition. I think due differences of our monitors calibration we both see that shadow different dark.Thank you John for posted huge comment, really appreciate.
