Rip It

Postby SeanTK » Mon Mar 01, 2010 8:22 pm

Figured we haven't had one of these in a while.
For the benefit of our newer screenshooters, rip this image to shreds.

Tell me what you would change and why. I do not want to hear positive things about this image at all.
I only want to hear constructive criticism. Doing this will help any newcomers that see this know what to focus on with their own images, and how to make a stunning debut in our screenshot forums, as some already have!

Have fun.

IMO it would look better without the snow.

Or have it moving. ;)

I kind of like it without cars, the lack of action makes the picture feel desolate.




Is this post against the rules? ;D

There is a car. Look to the right of the vandalized building, behind the bush!  :D ;D  ;)

And I must say, the new screen name "Mincepie" threw me off at first....why the change?

If Shane is talking about what I think he is, that would certainly be interesting: an animated gif image.

I'm not too sure if I like the sky that much.  It would be better if it had a little more definition to it.

As far as overall, it's too white for my tastes.  Colour is an important aspect of a good photo.  I feel like the photo needs to have a little more jump to it.

It's a little hard to tell, but it looks as if the snow is coming straight down, yet, based on the wind sock, the wind is blowing from right rear to left front of the camera position. So if the snow appeared to blowing in that direction, it would help. But if this is unedited, that would make it difficult. You would have to take the shot without the snow and then add it in while editing. Maybe a little more contrast as well.

Ok, not quite a "edit the shot" contest, but this is what I should do:

Added depth of field blur, add a bit of fog, and adjust the color levels, and finally, desaturate and add sepia filter....

the result:

Now it's pink, and the snow still looks fake.  ;)

I agree with Jakes on the blurring and fog addition needed, but don't like the orange colours he has added.

It's hard to rip a good shot.
