#66 - 70 sometimes shapes / repeating patterns isn't enough to hold the viewers attention.

#71 What is the subject matter in this photo?

#73 The dark foreground isn't appealing. Would be good if you can shoot from higher grounds, ideally get less of the dark foreground and more buildings.

#77 There is too much dead space in the bottom half.

#78 A nice attempt to use the tall plants as a frame

Okay, thanks for the comments.

#71 was just a scene I wanted to capture during a walkabout. Thought it's nice to have contrasting shop lights and coloured buildings against dark clouds, from the middle of the road. Haha.

- note to self... wondering if jpeg renditions of my pix (bottom right and left corners) are adding stuffs due to Picasa or just my way of processing pix.
- self-answer... combination of trying to recover shadow but it's also Picasa coz original processed picture didn't have as much jpeg problems.
Normally I load up as 1600 which already has the issues. So tried reloading as full sized pix... and for some reason can't retrieve the uploaded pix :-\ silly picasa

Note to self has been self-answered, discovered a new setting in Picasa which checks "Preserve original image quality (uses more storage)". And it's unchecked by default. Arrgh.

Another choice for placement: Boat in the centre or off centre (1/3)
Personally, I prefer the Boat in centre (#80A). Any other C&C also welcomed.

hi there wildcat,

i thought #80A was a more timely capture perhaps u could give it a tighter vertical crop to showcase just the clouds, sunrays and boat, and leave out the the larger portion of the sea (bottom portion of the pic). in that way the eyes are drawn directly to the more interesting subject of the boat and not to the large expense of the sea.

gotta love the reflections in 81-82 in 82 i would suggesting placing the horizon at a more center level, giving more space to the water reflections and less to the sky. with that i guess the symmetrical balance of the picture would be accentuated.

just my two cents nice photos u have here, i'm learning much from ur works.

cheers,
marc

Hey thanks for the comments. Actually #82's cropped photo was a result of #80 and a couple of other photos which have too much "blank" area - had I left it as is, the bottom portion would have been a big black area.

Yeah, agree #80A is better... after looking at it a bit more, #80B looks like I missed the spotlight of the sun on the boat. I might have tried a square crop (something I've been playing around with recently) for the photo, that might have worked too).
