Empty Chairs

[fulcostudios]

Ok, this is my my first critique post so let have it. I look forward to any input you all can give that may improve my style.

This was my first night visit to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, I got a few that I really like, but I want some input to see if they could be improved on during my next visit.



Feel free to comment on any of the others pics in the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial Set.

Thanks for the help!

Very neat and emotion-provoking image. I don't like the lower right 'chair' tho. I find my gaze drawn to it too much. I do like how you lined up the shot... it makes it seem like the chairs go on forever. I love the lighting as well.

P.S. I looked thru your other pictures. I love the 'Reflection Pool'. (A little too much sky, however. Maybe crop it down a bit?) But the reflection turned out superb. Great work!

fulcostudios,

Not sure I could critique without seeing how this looks standing in front of it. Once again a DPS member takes me somewhere I didn't know existed. Chilling. If not for the caption, it wouldn't immediately have been clear these were chairs, but that's more an issue for the designer. If the lower right 'chair' were a third of the frame to the left (photographer moves to the right, aims camera more left) the 'going on forever' is still there, it would just start from off-center lower left, instead of the corner. Maybe even 2 or 3 feet higher up too, so the backs were more defined against lighted seats. Something to try next trip, if you want.
