The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
iPhone 8 images
I put these images in the abstract category because they do not look like this to the naked eye.
The green is real (not as saturated). The green only shows up after rain it is caused by the lichen which is always there but only visible when watered.
Specific Feedback
Slot Caynon images look different to the camera than they do to humans.
People seem drawn to the neon colors but I like the Black and White.
Should the color in the upper right corner be taken out? I left it in to break up the black, but seeing it here I do not like it.
I think I like the vertical composition but the black and white treatment? In the color treatment, the JPEG compression artifacts (esp. the upper right) and the graininess or noise (esp. upper left) are distracting. In the black and white treatment those just become part of the texture of the image.
Shazam! I have been to the slot canyons in AZ and they can always be breathtaking. The fact that you caught them after a rain to get the green look, wow. This is a beautiful image!
I’m sorry. I should have added that the cropped b&w is also a stronger composition. The layout and proportions of dark and light areas are better balanced in that one in my opinion.
B&W all the way for me although I have to say that these color versions are different than anything I’ve ever seen from the area so that’s a plus because they are unique but those black and white are powerful, moody, mysterious, and emotionally stronger feeling to me. There is so much tonal contrast in those. You gotta love camera phones.
