I posted more ALTs than normal in hoping the examples can get me more feedback from any shot. http://slideone.com/PAW2002/week04.02.html Self Crit: I like the group interaction on the left side of the frame and the single girl doing her thing in the mirror. The blur of the passers by gives a slight feeling of 'happening'. The poster in the upper right need a burn job. Overall it works ok for me. http://slideone.com/PAW2002/week04alt1.02.html Self Crit: The composition feel good to me but the small amount of emptiness in the center may bother me a little. I like the two foreground people w/o them the shot would be flat. I thought of a little crop along the top but seem to like how the various rectangle shapes (posters, light, and drawing) work together... http://slideone.com/PAW2002/week04alt2.02.html Self Crit: I think this shot would have worked better if I was up on a chair looking down a little. I like the pull on the polaroid but the arm blocking the camera is bothersome. A little profile of the photographers face might help too but I don't think totally necessary... http://slideone.com/PAW2002/week04alt3.02.html Self Crit: The girl painting seems ok. I'm not sure of the lady in the BG. Showing a little more of the work area on the left might help too or panning the camera that way... The main shots w/ M & 50/2 the rest are with a 28/2. Neopan 1600 rated @ 1330 dev in XTOL 1:1 for 7.5min. Still getting weak low mids & shadows...
