arminw Posted July 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Seen on my way across the river Thames the other day ... it certainly was the picture OF THE DAY for me . Greetings to all Armin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Hi arminw, Take a look here Builders Break M8.2 and the 21mm 1:1.4 Summilux. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted July 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2009 Armin - Terrific for moment, detail, play of color with drab and geometry. I thought it could be a touch more dramatic with an increase in shadow slider and a crop... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arminw Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted July 17, 2009 doesnt work for me - its a mess (composition wise) and you are just too far. misha PHOTOGRAPHY BY MISHA FRIEDMAN It's not ideal to really judge this image at this size resolution to fully appreciate the moment captured. It has to be viewed full rez I do apologize Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanetomlane Posted July 17, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 17, 2009 Well I think it's a wonderful image. Their orange coloured jackets makes it. _______________________________ Cheers, Tom Photography by Tom Lane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 17, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 17, 2009 Stuart's crop did improve it. But imo the basics: the diagonals echoed by the arrangement of the orange persons does work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonkirk Posted July 17, 2009 Share #7 Posted July 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I liked the first version because of its greater sense of depth. And Mischa's disapproval of the 'mess' is counterbalanced by my approval of rescuing some order out of chaos. Kirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 17, 2009 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2009 That is true, Kirk. But my opinion is that this image is built up in a graphic way, with the humans being the colour- and compositional counterpoint. You put your finger exactly on what I preferred in the crop.

soleforeal Posted July 17, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 17, 2009 Enjoyed the comments on here. It makes me study the pics more and to see what others see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giordano Posted July 17, 2009 Share #10 Posted July 17, 2009 Maybe a more severe crop ... [ATTACH]152652[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted July 17, 2009 Share #11 Posted July 17, 2009 The last one appears to be a tad too much constructed, for my taste. My personal preference would be the first one, it has a more three-dimensional, out of life feel. The persons in the picture look almost too composed, but then, this is ad lib. Thank you for showing Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminw Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks to all for the comments and criticism . I have to say not only because it's an image I have taken that I prefer my version , but it does benefit from a not so tight crop . It's a rather busy image , a lot is going on and I feel it does need the space for exploration . I also have to say it is not an image to view online and at such small resolution ....

Michael Hiles Posted July 17, 2009 Share #13 Posted July 17, 2009 Fun picture. What it really needs is a comma after Builders Break. I was expecting a picture of carpenter holding a hammer and you holding a smashed M8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted July 18, 2009 Share #14 Posted July 18, 2009 I thought by the title that this was going to be some sequence of shots, you took a photo of a builder at work, builder didn't like being photographed, approaches you......... Great image, yes it's busy but that's a busy place! Lots to look at. FWIW I prefer the first version, but maybe with a touch of contrast as with Stuarts.

semrich Posted July 18, 2009 Share #15 Posted July 18, 2009 I prefer the crop of the first one, in particular the inclusion of the people walking underneath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sfeir Posted July 18, 2009 Share #16 Posted July 18, 2009 doesnt work for me - its a mess (composition wise) and you are just too far. misha PHOTOGRAPHY BY MISHA FRIEDMAN Actually works better with me by giving even more structure to the steel structure. Increases the contrast between steel and fragile persons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty sonoma Posted July 18, 2009 Share #17 Posted July 18, 2009 Another vote for the first image. A cropped image while creating a more central theme with the men and the geometry of the ironworks, it comes at the expense of removing the subjects from a specific environment; i.e. the ferris wheel in the background (the "eye"?) and the foot traffic below. As for more/less saturation, more/less contrast, etc...it is a matter of what kind of monitor you viewing the image. On my end the first shot looked fine. Cheers!
