Today's critique brought to you by: Chinographer.Scores:
Overall: 4/5
Composition:3.5/5
Emotion:3.5/5
Innovation: 4/5
Overall: I'm really digging this photo. I love the angle of the building, and the hue of the sky.
Composition: I don't really like the lamp or the shadows on the building - they're slightly distracting - but the rest of this piece is very strong. If this were an add for a hotel, I could totally see the text being right where all the leading lines point.
Emotion: This photo gives me the same feeling that all the really big buildings in New York City - a kind of claustrophobic awe. The building looms very well. And I guess it wouldn't loom quite as well without the lamp post to give us perspective.
Innovation: I don't get to take/see pictures like this very often, because I live in a small town. I think the angle is very creative.
About Chinographer:
This guy's been doing photography for six years! He bought himself a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT two years in, and upgraded to the 40D in 2008. You can see more of his work on his deviantart page or at his homepage - www.freakalive.de. I think what's great about him is that he's not searching to the perfect picture - he just tries to have an eye for the right mood for each picture.
Tip of the Day:
Learn to use your camera's setting, or your camera will make life hard. I cannot tell you how many times I've disagreed with a camera on composition in the past year and a half. I'm still learning how to make my camera submit to my will. Anyhow, learn how to change your camera's ISO, F/Stop, Shutter Speed, Zoom, Focus Mode, and everything thing else, because it gives you more control.
