>>4158683Another example of a photo thats super boring chiefly because the subject is boring. One idea might be to add some drama by getting the camera on the ground, and shooting this guy so that his silhouetted against the sky, or the horizon passes through his center of mass, etc. Other than that, or again waiting for some color somewhere, Im not sure what else you could have done here.
>>4158684This one is okay. I like the location, and the depth of looking down the pier. Its super over-exposed though. Drop the exposure by a stop or two to really bring in some darkness and atmosphere to this otherwise cool place. Additionally, you could also play with patterns down there, creating stripes in the photo with the pillars and daylight shining through. Colors arent good here, but that might be because its so over-exposed.
All-in-all my dude, you have a pretty good eye. Work on exposure, perspective, and color; and report back.
