Big area of black at the top, smaller area of black at the bottom. Dunno if this makes the pic a bit top-heavy. Any thoughts??
I like it. No need to over-analyze the the aesthetics.
Shutter: 1/2500 // Aperture: f/2.3 // Focal Length: 50 mm // ISO 100
I like it as well - but I'd probably trim a little off the top. It's just slightly too much featureless blackness. I prefer the shape of the blackness when it's cropped a little.

I like it. His posture tells a story. I can just imagine the story/rant that will start when you put a quarter in...
testing out the macro abilities of the super tele... while in Moss park.

Thats a beautiful image, love the simplicity of it, and the golden colour against the black.
i think the story/quote for that pic is something like, "my other chair has wheels and a joystick"
I usually have a good understanding of where my photos stand in relation to quality, composition, etc., but I would appreciate a little feedback here:
(PS: ask me if you want to see the original, as I did quite a bit of color-correction on this one)

It sort of seems a little washed out and a little on the purple side as you fade off into the back. I like the picture though! Great shot.

My problem is with the weather rather than the composition. I love photographing in changing weather: sun, shade, partly cloudy, and more extreme conditions... like mist and approaching storms.
The one type of weather I don't like is haze, like in this picture. Morning mist seems to change - revealing things one minute, hiding them the next. But haze just sits there, smothering the view, so that a landscape gets almost bleached out at the horizon.
And, IMO, there isn't a lot you can do in PP to change a hazy pic for the better. Haze flattens the perspective: ie too little contrast between foreground and background. It de-saturates colours. And it lasts all day.
So these are the kind of days when I don't get the camera out. It's a bit like that today in the English Lake District. We have a word for this kind of weather; it's "claggy".

Doylem, I guess the lake is down and you were up, so to get less black you probably had to zoom in a little (more), but then you lose a sense of space, so I don't know...it's fine as it is. Most of your landscapes remind me to the paintings of Ruysdael, by the way, the same feel in another geographical setting; having said that, paintings and photographs are better not be compared at all
Four tripod mounted RAWs // HDR // Shutter: varied // Aperture: f/16.0 // Focal Length: 15 mm // ISO 100 ... and a bit of Orton Effect too.
Yeah, I had a really tough time with the color correction, but I'll try tone down the purple. Thanks for the tip
(BTW here is the original)

I see what you mean. What was happening on that particular day was a fine misting of rain which blurred out the backgrounds of most of the photos I took that day. The really disappointing thing about it is that I only had that one chance to take any photos, which means that I was "stuck" with it.
If I ever get a chance to go back, I promise I'll spend a day waiting for some nicer light

Spring weather finally. Kids have the afternoon off. Playground time.
And daddy can play with his toys.

Some days I get the feeling that I'm not supposed to take any pix at all. so the camera stays in the bag.
