Very appealing image, with rich highs and lows. Looks rural.

Hi Robert, This is really just a monochrome shot of some bottles on a bench in a garden shed. The composition leaves a lot to be desired, remember the "rule of thirds". This haphazard arrangement does nothing. All the bottles appear to be leaning to the right, and the left hand window frame really ought to be vertical. The window frame in general is distracting and interferes with the subject - the bottles. You should really have another go at this shot, remove the two left hand bottles, keep the spider webs, ensure that your verticals are vertical and resubmit for comment.

Nice lighting.


Marília Ferraz   {K:-4496} 4/25/2003
Robert, it did pay off to have all this trouble.
This is a fine B&W work, with lots of details and a most impressive lightning.
Excellent in every way.

superbe!!!!


Jeanne Wells   {K:14271} 4/25/2003
ha! I have, as you may have noticed, a great respect for things as they are. I think this is a glorious arrangement of junk, with everything moving diagonally left-ward while that sole knife points right. I even like the little bit of tilt on your camera, gives it a life of it's own. Nicely done! (thanks so much for your helpful comments on my difficult shot. It really helped!)


Peter Ounjai   {K:1309} 4/26/2003

Sandor Szollos   {K:7681} 4/26/2003

Well Robert my english don't help me catch that you say but I think you don't know what to do about all these sites... isn't it? Personaly also I don't know... I find this one very nice and the rating also great idea. Pity about the size of photos... but it is OK and have some people also... so 99% I'll stay here... :-) about the photo.. I remember it. It is a great composition of old objects. Good exposure and good presentation in B&W.


Mavis Dean   {K:3962} 4/26/2003
Ah!! That accounts for the leaning Robert ... you've been on the bottle again !!! :)) Seriously though . I love this image , glad you spotted it. Looks a bit like a murder mystery to solve , with all the old empty bottles and the knife and various bits of metal . Quite wonderful and B/W suits it admirably . I like this site ... nice people :))


David Grundy   {K:1571} 4/26/2003
Hi again Robert, Thank you for your critique on my shot of St Mary's Island, most kind. Your question about the 'Rule of Thirds', well without keeping this in mind pictures can tend towards just a jumble of parts which the viewer has difficulty in understanding what was in the mind of the photographer at the time the shot was taken. There are a number of web sites which explain this in detail (search in Google for "Rule of Thirds") but for a start perhaps you could go and look at Jim Miotkes explanation of the rule at, www.betterphoto.com/exploring/tips/thirds.asp. Good luck with your work, let me know how you get on with the 'Rule of Thirds'

edmond lisy   {K:10311} 4/28/2003
Great capture of light and shadow, moody composition !!


Louise Vessey   {K:13859} 4/28/2003
The black and white and lighting drew me to open this image. However I find it overall just too busy visually. That's just me of course. It is a good image though.


Kristina Kohut   {K:49990} 4/29/2003
This is great show with light & shadows, and it's a very nice photo of old interesting bottles! Very good!
