>>4512463askewexposure is finemaybe lowering the camera parallel to the subject would have been a more interesting composition since there’s a lot of head room showing clouds which could have been foot room showing more of that buildingthe cranes are the most interesting part of the picture, anything you could have done to fill the frame more with them would have been an improvement
>>4512432there’s no shadowspulling down the shadows on the tone curve would only be an improvementI think the composition is very neat and shows a lot of care (the precise and level kerb at the bottom/railing at the top, the banner positioned along the lower vertical third and the foliage pushing across horizontal two thirds). a lot of implied geometry. highlights are fine, not too bright.could be better with more contrast
>>4512386cool viewshadows are dodged too hard (look at the face of the man on the stairs at the left, for example: even the lightest parts of his face are very dark).although it seems to be late afternoon when nearly everything is naturally in the shade, a bit more lightness in the lower midtones to contrast with the shadows would add some clarity and definition to the scene
>>4512374I don’t like it but I can’t say exactly whyit’s a nice subjectmaybe it’s the bright background and the relatively shady subject. it might feel better with some more light on the subject
>>4512525>I don’t like it but I can’t say exactly whyThe HDR and being crispy sharp while lacking detail is what I don't like about it. Almost certainly a phone pic.
>>4512523Thanks for the comment. The Shakespeare sign represents the hardening of attitudes in the UK.
