Please feel free to critique these shots taken in North Sydney. There has been no manipulation of the first shot - this is how I saw it.

All taken with the Sigma 70-200mm

Hi Chris,

First one works pretty well for me. Sorry, the other ones are above my understanding

Hi Chris

I love architecture and any repeated patterns, you can improve the shot by aligning lines in the shot to the corners of the frame.

Chris,

Great to see some work from you after reading so many of your posts.

I am not saying that this quote I shall give applies directly to you but this experience of yours, along with recent findings of others, has prompted me to post it:

"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera"
- Dorothea Lange

Another quote which I have held dear for aeons is from Galileo Galilei:

"If the worlkd is boring you, take more interest in it."

Wandering with a camera, inquisitive eyes and an open mind is as good a way to encounter self-enlightenment and self-fulfillment as I have been able to find.

You have seen and reacted to things in what I see as a celebration of the wonder that surrounds us. Within those images there are some great compositions which, with a bit of judicious cropping and examination, will break free and make an even greater reward both for you and the viewer.

Keep it up,

First shot in nice. Maybe having lines more horizontal could do, maybe. It is only my taste

Regarding the second shot I would consider chopping of bottom barrel. This would left pure structure of columns and supports. Also maybe usage of polarizing filter could give clearer view of support behind glass.

You exposoed these shots well. It is not easy on sunny day and shiny metal.

Regards,

K.Polak

That first shot is great. At first I figured it was your Sigma lens , but I'm guessing this was reflected in water. If so I'm even more impressed since it's so sharp. The other shots just don't grab me - a little busy in the second shot & nothing to draw me into the second.
