In the park

[adalove]

Hello, can you give me your opinion about this shot?
It´s made in a park in my city. I was not really sure what to focus on, and have taken an intermediate decision.

Comment whatever apart composition too, thanks!

A bit too busy and your highlights of the sky is blown out.

To save it I guess I would crop out the majority of the sky.

Overall though, make the shot darker next time and less busy (as in make your subject apparent).

Good attempt nevertheless.

Thanks sagelike31,
I think you´re right.. I must have used some depth of field for example I suppose...
I´ll have your advices in mind next time.

I would also have tried for a slightly different angle, personally. You have such a great line with that railing (and lovely texture), I'd try to use it to draw the eye through the picture.

I'd have shot a little lower, with the railing curving away overhead, or higher, with the railing laid out below, or tilted the camera slightly or something. But that, I admit, is more personal preference than a technical detail like the sky being blown out was.

Mmm, thanks very much Rachel. I like the posibilities you´ve commented. May be I´ll come back and try again to make different shots like these.

There is a painterly quality I like, and with the added changes as written above, as you choose, this will be rich.

Thanks jiminyClickit,
if I come back soon I´ll take some different shots in the same spot and I´ll post it

I hope you dont mind, i just tried an idea i had with that photo, trying to cut some of the sky out, and making the railing more of a feature...
Hope you like it

Not sure if it was possible but i think bringing the path more into the frame might have suggested more. Paths like roads allways suggest a journey about to start or end Keep at it, i quite often have gone back to reshoot a image.

Of course I don´t mind, I appreciate your help and time!
I think it looks better with the crop and processing! Thanks so much!!
