Yellow wall and sky

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Did this quick shot today lunch time. I know it could be good to have one cloud upper on the sky, however I still like it. Your thoughs are welcome :)

Krystian,

What a cracker. I feel your desire for a cloud could be solved at the same time as adding power to the content by cropping the top off down to the bottom of the black triangle of the overhang. It may then also need a little less of the ochre wall at the right to set the balance back in place.

This stuff is your strong point and is always a delight.

Cheers,

Sheetshooter,

When I start to think more about this photo I found the the most atractive part is the balustrade and sky behind. This creates openess, way to escape from walls. That is the subject. Your advice about croping the image from the top helps to sort out whole scene and put more emphasize on relation between balustrade and sky. And I like it :)

Thanks for advice :)

Kristian,

Your cropped photo works much better for me. Strip away the extraneous elements and get to the core essence of the motif. Where it used to be about PLACE it is now about SPIRIT. And that still in your style of mature sophistication and intellect of vision.
