Hi guys just looking for some feedback on this photo as I am not 100% sure on my photography skills at the moment. I have adjusted the colors in photoshop.
Exposure - 20s
f/5
ISO 200

As you have called this Brooke Beach

My observations are, you have this Huge jetty that takes up a big portion of the image and Brooke...

I think if Brooke had been positioned a little further in the frame it would have been better..Just my opinion I'm sure others differ...It is a nice shot though...

To me this shot has two strong subjects in a very good composition. There is not enough of the person to grasp the mood in my opinion. The pier is a strong subject by itself and I do not get a sense of balance between the two subjects together. Nice shot!

I agree with Pedro. you can fix it by cropping a bit. try and get rid of the space to the left of the light reflections. but keep the reflections in with a bit of ocean space. also remove some of the sand below "Brooke". a standard print crop 4x6 5x7 or 8x10 should give those results. you'll lose some of the top of the pier, but it will make the image better. she gets lost in the photo the way you have it. good shot though. wow 20 seconds lol. a little sharpening in post processing should fix the long exposure jitters a bit. just my opinion. thanks for sharing.


I'm not afraid . . . YOU WILL BE. . . YOU WILL BE. . .

Thanks for the feedback. I always find it hard to frame my photos right. I guess I don't have a good eye for it at the moment but I am only starting out and am loving the feedback. I'll take it all on board and keep trying when I go out with my camera next time.

Way to go Nick...I'm not saying the way you posed her is wrong, others may feel your composition is spot on

Keep making snaps, keep reading posts, keep the camera with you all day...the 3100 has a lot of power built into it...you'll learn how to draw it out in your snaps you just have to work at it hard...me I am all about the challenge of it all...I say throw it in M, put down that damn phone camera, and get it frigging on!!! LOL :)
