I'm not sure what the story is here but the bottle suggests story possibilities.
As for critique, Highlights at left seem a bit hot too my eye and pull my eye out out the scene - so if this were mine, I'd likely burn in the whole left side by maybe 20% .
Hope that may help
Interesting shot Lorey, that makes you think.
Includes one of my favourite pastimes. No prizes for guessing which one
Thanks guys for looking and comments. Technical correctness is rarely a concern with me. Mainly I usually want to post a photo that causes thought and imagination. What it says, which is perceived by each viewer, has precedence over technical correctness.
You say ...."Mainly I usually want to post a photo that causes thought and imagination"
As usual you have accomplished this. Your images tell a story and you let the viewer use their imagination as to what that story is.
RM - I think we can use our imagination as to which is your favourite pastime.
Technical correctness normally makes every image stronger. What your image says and how it is perceived is not a random thing. You take great pains to frame the image to cause 'thought and imagination' ..the same pains should be taken when printing it. The printing is the 'performance' of the photograph. It guides the viewer's eye actively. Darkroom Work or postprocessing work is part of the work.... Chances are your favourite images from other photographers would no longer be your favourites if technical postprocessing concerns were not part of their workflow.Quote:
