Mr. Quiet

Took this with my Tamron 90mm macro. Feel free to critique it too:-)

Hi

I like it -- very simple. Might take off some of the left tho.

Mr. Quiet

Take off? I was thinking the exact opposite!

I have found that taking simple pictures well is not easy, not saying I did well, but simple ones tend to be the best ones.

Thank you for the feedback

Your funny Aaron

I'd take if off...you don't have to. Remember it's what you like

For me with very simple photos I like the square crop. That is just me tho as many people don't like square crops.

Mr. Quiet

I would be one of the people that does not like square crops. If you have went to my site, you might notice I do not have a lot of those.... In fact, do I have any?

I had to take a look at your site again -- couldn't remember if you had any square photos

Found one http://thecs.smugmug.com/Aarons-Photography/NSOP/Critique/9824914_AcaKn#667644071_vNHiy

While I am a fan of the square crop and use it judiciously in my own work, I think the negative space in this photo has almost as much a presence as the positive. It adds yearning, stretching quality to the stamen that would be lessened if you cropped. At least to me. This is a powerful, creative shot. Congrats, man.

You win :-)

Did you check out the new ones here? I personally really like the water drop. But wait, I think that is the reason it is there...

Wow, thank you for the high praise I will hopefully be able to learn more and produce only better pictures in the future. Thank you again.

All well-deserved, Mr Q

Don't ya just love those square crops

Looks like I'm going to be out voted on this one

Checked out the waterdrop -- Nice shot Aaron. I really like the color version

Mr. Quiet

What?!?!? We can't agree on that either???? I think the only thing we can agree on today is that they are both nice shots that can be made better, no? roflrofl
