Artist's Comments

not sure what to submit this under hmmm.
Anyways, a photo of one of Grandads old cars which is dumped on the farm

Critiques


:icondwaz4:
This is my opinion and my opinion only. You want critique, I am happy to assist. Know this, I talk too much and probably critique too much also!
Anyway...with all love and respect to you as an artist, I say these things;
- The overall picture strikes me as being too bland with a bit too much clutter surrounding the car.
- I assume the car is the subject and in my opinion it needs to be shot from an intersting angle and with a different perspective perhaps.
- I don't like the weeds blocking the subject either. I'm wanting to see more of this wrecked car because I think I used to drive one just like it back in the 70's!
- I would try to isolate the subject by getting closer or zooming in on it.
- There is way too much clutter around the subject and I feel it distracts from the main subject. I see nothing of interest in the clutter and it should be cropped out or modify the aperture to blur it out. You know, create some creamy bokeh with the background.
- I think this would be and awesome picture if it were full of snow OR maybe you could play with this in PS and turned the car orange or red, that I would love to see.
- If you have a wide angle lens, you could move in and distort the perspective of the car a bit and shoot it from the front left corner angle. This might give you an interesting angle to work with. Make sure to crop out all the sticks.

And so you have a bit of knowledge on how I might handle this shot.

If you can re-shoot this shot, I would like to see it again.

I have given you a few tips or critiques based on how I would have handle this had I come upon it. Everyone is an artist in his/her own way but what keeps an artist growing is taking plain things in life and turning it into art or trying new things of course.

Kind regards,
Dennis

Wow this is something interesting that I've NEVER seen before ;)

I love how it isn't just a normal car but a smashed up one, gives it a real edge. The trees creeping over make it look as if the car is being engulfed or eaten by the woods :lmao:

One thing that struck me was that the picture looks overly sharp, maybe it is because the size is reduced or maybe you over sharpened it in photoshop. I think it is the size reduction though because the line going down the car is crinkled.

Try reducing the size and re-uploading instead of putting a full resolution online, this may work. :)


Really interesting shot - nice one. :)

Its just sitting there on the farm? Wow XD
But quite surprisingly, it does make for a nice photograph.
And making it black and white adds an aged effect to it, I like it ^^

Cool pic

:) Just kidding. I'll bet in colour it doesn't have the same impact?
But turn it to B&W and it give the photo some feel to it.
I'd agree with Ultra-Voilet-X tho that it does look slightly over sharpened.
Apart from that, it looks good
