sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Hudson II appreciate your critique Scott Nov 09, 2009 at 10:55 PM

Bob Jarman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · Hudson II Well done Scott, both this and Hudson at Dawn...the pilings serve to rein in the eye and direct attention directly ahead. How would it look with a slight blur applied to the skyline? regards, Bob Nov 10, 2009 at 02:18 AM

AuntiPode Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Hudson II Beyond the low contrast, there's something odd about the buildings on the skyline. Nov 10, 2009 at 02:23 AM

Bob Jarman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · Hudson II Barrel distortion? Nov 10, 2009 at 01:11 PM

I think this was shot about 5-10 minutes too late. The sun coming through the buildings would make a neat image, but it fights with the pier for attention in this one. The light would be a little more even, making for an easier exposure. You can always add contrast if needed. Nov 10, 2009 at 01:27 PM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Hudson II Thanks for all the feedback folks. Some selective dodging, burning and sharpening of the buildings, perhaps too unevenly applied. Perhaps thats what you are responding to Karen? Bob, I felt that the eye was meant to go to the City and it would therefore need to be sharp. Scott Nov 20, 2009 at 04:19 AM

Bob Jarman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · Hudson II Scott, I agree, perhaps a slight foreground blur would help 'seeing' the depth? Bob Nov 20, 2009 at 12:46 PM

Kaden K. Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Hudson II I like the leading line flanked as is. The wood floor looks seriously over sharpened and it becomes difficult to distinguish the weeds but the white budding flowers are a charming touch. The buildings across the water looked blurred in some parts and overly sharpened/compressed in some details. The water lost definition with the occasional black line or group of lines. The issues here are of contrast and sharpening. Did you use a filter at all? I suggest the reverse - Don't over sharpen the bridge and blur the background. Nov 20, 2009 at 04:46 PM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Hudson II Kaden, I appreciate the detailed assessment and suggestions. No filter used (except a protective, high quality, clear filter). It is interesting how the buildings far left are more blurred, despite selective sharpening applied over the entire cityscape. Might be softness at the edges of the lens. I'd have to check to see if any softness was eliminated on the right by a crop but I think this was a minimally cropped image. Scott Nov 20, 2009 at 05:27 PM

Bob Jarman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Hudson II #1 - what I had in mind #2 - perhaps what Kaden suggested, Kaden? Think I prefer Kaden's suggestion - although I probably applied too much blur... Nov 21, 2009 at 12:24 AM
