I like this image for many reason, the reflection of the lights and it's very clean. However, the moon seems very pasted and looks as if its just a big ball in the air. I feel as if you are missing the shadows and you need to place the trees in front of the moon. Overall, its a very good composition.
I appreciate the idea with the giant moon, but I have a lot of comments.
It chouldn't be in that clear of focus, for one. And it should be emitting light, that's sort of it's thing. Like the whole reason we have religions dedicated to the moon is it's ability to refract sunlight.
The sky is still very saturated blue too, It doesn't feel like night time despite the very obvious contrasty light emissions of the storefront on the ground.
I like the atmosphere. I think the composition is mostly well proportioned, but I think the eye would direct around the frame better if the moon didn't go off the frame, and if the sky better matched the black mass of foliage that frames in the sides.
This image is interesting. The general store and the quality of the color evoke a special feeling of "days gone by". The lighting of the windows and shadows on the ground being cast from them create an interesting night time quality in the image. The sky is somewhat plain, but effective and beautiful nonetheless. I know I suggested using the moon option earlier, however, I feel it seems a bit unrealistic for this image. If it had been made smaller in the frame or even just matched the sky a bit better in shadow and color, it would be more believable. Overall, nice job.
I think that this image is great. The light reflecting through the windows onto the street adds a beautiful element. My only critique would be to work on making sure the moon doesn't look so photoshopped. Maybe making it a little bit smaller would make it seem so not out of place
The photo quality of the initial store image is very nice. However the image could have been pushed much further, as it feels very little editing went into it. Since the moon is the same color as the concrete, it appears to be infront of the building, despite you trying to put it behind by masking out the tree shapes in front. On the other hand, this allowes the opportunity to play with using the moon as the sidewalk and having the general store literally being on the moon.
The colors of this image is what got me. Stunning, Rob. I know that you were going for a very exaggerated effect with the moon so I like it. I would just maybe move it a little to the left, between the building and the pole of the right side, just to give a more natural kind of look so it isn't shoved into the top right corner. Also, the cloudiness of the sky doesn't match up with the clarity of the moon. Maybe consider adding some clouds parting over it, or adding a clearer night sky where you can see stars. Overall, a nice piece, but just push it a little farther forward.
I enjoy the light coming through the windows onto the foreground. I would maybe darken the store front and lighten the moon so it looks like the moon is helping illuminate the space. I would also consider reducing the size of the moon itself so it looks more believable. Typically when the moon is super close like that in the night sky it is a lot brighter. Also the lighting on the building doesn't quite make sense with the street light that is not on. Maybe try to add a spot of light to help make the light source more believable.
This has a nice lonely feel provided by the quality of light. The moon is a bold move, but I think it's clearly meant to look quirky as it's not at all believable in it's position. It looks as if it got stuck in the trees. I would shrink it just a bit as it could be really convincing and add to the aura of the work (and it's blurry quality would be less pronounced). And don't crop it!
Or, if you want to go with a surreal idea, set it on the porch casting a shadow towards the camera.

ReplyDeleteI like the whole picture, it looks very interesting but I don't understand the moon on the right. I feel it is out of place in terms of size.
