Started doing post processing on your photos, ya?
Yup, straightening stuff, levels, curves, contrasts and sharpening.
Contemplative
Follow You
I kinda like these two. For Contemplative, I felt that since the main subject is the lady staring contemplatively into the horizon, that it should be more of a landscape picture. Don't forget the rule of a third; it is best to get into the habit, then breaking it, than to start off breaking the rule already. Otherwise, like Relaxing, it just becomes a snapshot.
Similarly, I felt that Follow You could be better composed with the rule of third - less idle space on the left side, maybe.
The Contemplative picture is in portrait format because i didn't want to cut off the tall buildings in the background but certainly the landscape format might work too if there was a point of interest on the right, maybe a boat passing by. The girl was placed according to the rule of thirds but got pushed to the side after i corrected for the tilting verticals of the building in the background.
As for The Follow You picture, i placed the lamp-posts in the thirds position which is why there's space on the left but it was a grab shot as you can see from the perspective. The jogger had passed me but i was not ready to shoot as the backside shot does nothing for me. Then the dog followed her and i thought this was the missing element and quickly framed the image to shoot. If i was calmer, i think i should have let the dog get further in the frame and then crop out those lamp-posts instead?
Thanks for dropping by wildcat. It's fun discussing my pictures with you. I especially like talking about composition.
