Re: The Alt Image Critique Thread




It\'s a stitch of course! And from done at an 85mm FL.

It looks like about 8x3 before cropping on the second one.

I can\'t really critique on the second one as for me the content isn\'t interesting - no offense!

The first one is interesting - the one with the tree and ruins.

My crit on that one would be:

  1. You need a higher POV to make that work well. Maybe on top of that hill over in the right area?
  2. The smearing on the near tree trunk detracts too much from it and is too distracting.
  3. I think I would use Shadows & Highlights to pull the clouds down just a tad and raise the blacks up from their apparent clipped state.
  4. For me the tree-smack-in-the-middle-of-the-shot framing doesn\'t really work either. At least not in this case.
  5. The horizon went goofy too - this is a common problem with panos. It can be fixed in PS by using Free Transform --> Warp prior to cropping (if you don\'t auto-crop in the stitcher).
