Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Another find at Battery Alexander – one of several WWII heavy artillery bunkers (and later missile silos) guarding the Golden Gate. Target-rich environment.

Specific Feedback

All comments welcome! I can’t decide which crop I prefer. Maybe it takes all three to peer into the details.

Technical Details

Very little done in LR and PS. The three are crops from the same image.

Diane: I wonder if he knew Kilroy? Really cool find and I like how you presented the series. Wandering around places like this can really be fun. Well done. >=))>

Very neat, Diane. I’d say my favorites would be the first and third, though it must have been interesting deciding what to level the first on. I hope you spent some time on that area above the box with the cool textures revealed by the peeling concrete.

Thanks, @Bill_Fach and @Dennis_Plank! Bill, I think they were brothers. Dennis, I thought about it but things got clumsy and uninteresting up higher.

Hi Diane,
Really nice trio of images. All three work for me, but my favorite is the second crop as I just like the framing with the green border. I also think the thin lines of green and red add a little more visual interest. Places like this are always fun to wander around to see what catches your eye.

Thanks, @Ed_Lowe! That one has become my favorite, too. These target-rich environments are huge fun!

Hi Diane Im trying to get caught up. Great Image !!! I love the rust and old look you have in this image. You saw it and had vision and took the shot. I really appreciate that style of photography. Take something old and make something new and interesting. Very Cool !!! I think all three images work well. The blue/green wall is so cool. The paint and cracks is really cool.
