The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Another from Battery Alexander with the coalescing NorCal group. I think the varieties of script in graffiti are interesting and pleasing, but I’m being careless today as I usually first ask my sons-in-law if it says something I don’t even know about. (If it does, somebody delete it!)
Specific Feedback
All comments welcome!
Technical Details
Some distracting scrawly blue lines of graffiti removed. Nothing major done. Full frame.
Critique Template
Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
I agree with Dennis that it is “(v)ery well seen and executed.” It appears that both writings are signatures by the same grafittiest (is this even a word?), but using spray paint and something else.
I love the rust look and the vibe of this Image. My guess you were on a walk with a group and this caught your eye. Its there and you feel it and so you shoot it. That makes the best photography in my opinion. Very Cool
Thanks, @Bonnie_Lampley, @Glenys_Passier and @Gill_Vanderlip! I’ll try a rotation and post it above in a minute. I was rotated 90 deg CCW (very awkwardly in tight quarters) when I shot it, as that felt like the best composition. But it certainly doesn’t dictate the best orientation!
This was sort of a courtyard area and we were all running around like the proverbial chickens, occasionally yelling at one another to look here! As I recall, Bonnie was the only taker when I found this inside a heavy old steel door that was ajar just enough to squeeze in for this composition. My back was against the frame. Somebody else found a toilet, which I unfortunately missed.
Diane: I like both iterations and if ever one man’s junk is another’s treasure this is certainly the case here. Really wonderful job turning such scenes into compelling images. Bravo.>=))>
Diane, I much prefer your original vertical comp, although @Bonnie_Lampley’s suggestion works well too. This is a well composed image with just the right amount of subject in the frame as out of it. Nice!
I am heading to Fort Stevens and Fort Columbia on the Oregon/Washington coast in the next few weeks. I hope to get some abstract B&W shots from the various batteries at each fort.
