#50 - Looking for feedback

JerryBarton

All this 'working to a theme' is still new to me. I went out today looking for spirals and S-curves. Here are my first three, and any comments, good or bad, are welcome.

Garden Posts
The metal poles that will hold the bean plants that are just sprouting in our garden. Maybe with the focus point further away?


Outlier
A single branch of another tree curves its way above the chestnut tree. A non-overcast day would help, I think.

Yep them be "golden" spirals

#1 for me with as you suggest a focus point further into the spiral.
2 & 3 don't do anything for me I'm afraid.

Two doesn't work for me....not enough emotion in it....three is a bit chaotic, but I bet you could do something fun and effective using the concept.

#1 for me, too. I think it's worth comparing it to the the golden spiral in the links that have been posted:

I'm not sure if I always buy the golden rules (at least of photography), but I like training my eye to be able to see them, and am willing to be convinced that the "golden" proportions do make a more powerful picture.

I like #1 and #3. #1 is closer to being there. #3 is a good concept that needs more work. Creative looking!

I think #1 is too centered. I think it needs more negative space, with the center of the spiral in the in the Golden Spiral point left and down of center of the frame.

Many thanks for the feedback. I've updated my ideas - learning a lot here.
