Thank you for the advise. I'm new at posting at forums so I'm still getting the hang of it. i read the rules and i think i have all that it says there, but if I'm missing something please let me know so I can edit the post. Also would you critique my photo. lighting, composition, etc, and again thank you for your help windrider86

I think what windrider was getting at is,...what is it about the photo that you want to know? The composition? The feel? Should you have done "this" instead of "this"? What questions do you want answers to? The rules state too, that a vague, "What do you think?" is not the type of question to ask. Noticing if something feels off to you, then asking if it feels off to everyone else,...I think that passes, but we have to know what it is your looking for first.

As for my opinions: First, there's no clearly defined subject. We know from your description that your trying to take a shot of the Pizza di Roma, but theres too much else going on in the photo. The Parra Loan Co. sign draws my eye right to it. Crop in closer or change your Depth of Field so that the other things around what you want your subject to be, are blurred and unrecognizable. Also, maybe a longer shutter speed so that you can't even partially see the cars, just a streak of movement. Try shooting from the other side of the sign, so that the light above it doesnt give you blownout highlights.

That's just my two cents,..
