Basti Posted November 12, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I went for a little walk in the evening and walked past this laundromat. I found the scene really interesting. In post-production, I experimented a bit with negative space. I would like to hear your feedback. Which version do you like best? Welcome, dear visitor!

hepcat Posted November 12, 2023 Share #4 Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) I have to concur with the comments above. Negative space, when used correctly, can be an amazing framing choice. Each version says something different to me. Edited November 12, 2023 by hepcat Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgarner Posted November 12, 2023 Share #5 Posted November 12, 2023 I agree with the previous comments, but prefer the middle image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frame-it Posted November 12, 2023 Share #6 Posted November 12, 2023 yes the 2nd one is really nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lelmer Posted November 13, 2023 Share #7 Posted November 13, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) The second one for me. Nice composition and atmosphere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted November 13, 2023 Share #8 Posted November 13, 2023 The first and the second don't compare really well and the difference is certainly more than just the use of negative space. Color, depth of field and - possibly most important - the different positions of the heads make a huge difference. The second one appears more focused, I think because the persons seem to interact. The third is a bit unfortunate in my eye. I think it's the narrow black area on the left of the window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted November 13, 2023 Share #9 Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) First is the best of the lot. Two different scenes, both subject and lighting/colour temperature. Lots of different shapes - rectangular and circular. Depth and perspective to the left-hand scene. And geometric negative space. Only improvement would have been if their heads were better positioned, ie looking/talking to each other.

Terin Posted November 13, 2023 Share #10 Posted November 13, 2023 Absolutely the first. It offers an overview and tells you more 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 14, 2023 Share #11 Posted November 14, 2023 I agree with Bruce & Roger. I also feel the color enhances #1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrollt Posted November 15, 2023 Share #12 Posted November 15, 2023 It's the first one for me, like the colors and lighting just too much in it. Great shot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basti Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share #13 Posted November 16, 2023 thanks for your feedback so far! Really interesting, thoght most would prefer the close up in picture 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAK Glasgow Posted November 23, 2023 Share #14 Posted November 23, 2023 I love the first image that has a Norman Rockwell character to it - beautiful tones with great contrat between the colder blue and warmer yellow light - the two men seemingly staring into space. The Second shot shows great interaction and the larger negative space, to my eye, enhances the image - stepping back a bit and creating a story. The third image (which I think may be the same shot as the second) but cropped differently, works less well for me, I am more distracted by the other things in the laundromat, especially the door frame, drawing attention from the interaction between the men. that said had I shot the third on and cropped to the window only ( removing any negative space) I would be proud, as you should be, of the shot. Congratulations a great series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etcherman Posted December 2, 2023 Share #15 Posted December 2, 2023 The first image reminds me of Hopper’s Night Hawks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAK Glasgow Posted December 2, 2023 Share #16 Posted December 2, 2023 HI - ETCHERMAN I agree with you - I had muddled up Rockwell and Hopper - apologies my stupidity! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
