The unexpected angle
#1

I just read about taking picture from unexpeted angles. When I saw the corner remembered the article and I took this... What do you think?

Thanks a lot for your comments Smile

I'm sorry Irma. Thew angle is right but the subject matter isn't very interresting to me.

Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O

I agree. This is a good exercise in visual depth perception but it's not very pretty.

Thanks Don for your comment, but could you help me please and tell me why you don't find it pretty?Is it the construction itself? Too simple, too complicated? What is missing to make it interesting?

Thanks in advance Don Smile

I have always appreciated the comments/advice of all of you, believe that I try to have them all in mind every time I take a picture... and I think I have improved. Regarding this picture could you please tell me why is it not working? otherwise I will learn nothing from this picture... This forum is a learning room after all... Smile

I don't want to make it pretty, if it is not, but I would like to learn what to do if one day I have another corner like this... what I have to look for to make it work.... Could you help me and make of this picture a learning exercise for me? Please...

I have made another crop thinking that it might help to focus in the corner itself... probably the original was too long...... I really don't know....

As always thanks a lot for your comments Smile

I like the 2nd crop better, perhaps a polarizer to make the reflections in the window stronger to hide the clutter within.

Greetings from a newbie to the group!

Here's a little variation on the crop. The boxes in the window, and the people on the street, take away from the pure geometric form that you've captured here. [Image: cornerrecrop.jpg]

@StudioJ: Now I am getting an idea... When I am working with lines make them strong... ok I got it... Thanks for your comment Smile

@rikbrandt: Welcome to the forum Smile You will see me around this forum "Photo Critique" very often since I am learning how to take pictures... Smile

Yes, I can see your idea very clear, your crop really gives another perspective of the picture.... You are right there were too many things around... Thanks a lot for your comment...

Stupid me. Just because i didn't find the subject matter so interresting I failed to point out some of the issues that would have improved the image. Sad What a doofus!
Anyway, welcome to the crowd Rikbrandt. Glad to see you here. Smile

I like what Rick has done. Nice crop. It enhances the effect you were going for Irma. Tighter crop with good depth.
