#2 is cool! I'd like to get to know the residents. It's amazing to me how much personality comes through in the entryway. The contrast between #1 and #2 is interesting.
I like #3. #2 is interesting, but it lacks some pop I'm looking for. It could be the lack of saturation in the colors, or the cropping, though, so potentially improvable.
#3! I really like the geometrical pattern, and the shadows. and there's something else that I can't quite put a finger on?
#2 is very busy, seems like there's so much stuff on the porch and yard... I think it would have better impact if there weren't anything on the door - the only blank piece in a collage of color.
#1 doesn't work for me, I think that the way it's framed by the lighter colored porch takes the eye away from the door and that weather-beaten dresser. Maybe a shot at dusk with the porch light on? I almost didn't notice the cats... I'd suggest making them a bit more of a feature, if they're still there and you feel inspired to re-shoot.
(as always, I am new at this, so my comments go best with a grain of salt...)
I did boost the saturation quite a bit on #2 and it looks pretty colorful on my monitor (which I just recently calibrated), but I might be able to push it just a hair more. The people that live there I would describe as "bike kids"... you know, the mid-twenties crowd dressed in super-tight black or retro clothes, long bangs in the face, always biking everywhere on their fixed-gears.
I wouldn't rule it out completely, but it's unlikely that I'll get out for a reshoot, so I guess I'm going to have to go with either number two or three... still not sure yet since nothing seems to stand out.
haha yes, I know... exactly. although I shun the skinny jeans, I know about a half dozen houses around DC that could easily have been substituted for that house.
#3 is the one. Beautiful light, love the tilt and the low angle, and last but not least the dynamic range that you have captured meaning that the viewer can see both inside and outside clearly.
I like #3 and #4.
#3 has cool geometry. You may want to pay close attention to the corners. In a shot like this, the way the angles and shapes line up in the corners can really effect the visual impact.
#4 is really interesting because of the depth of things the viewer can see. I like the various light sources, and you have a person in the shot, which I think makes it much stronger than if there were no person there. Great shot!

Spread the love! Go comment on something!
