>>2867728The shot is really cluttered. There's just too much going on. What's the subject? The boat? The fence in the from? That shit on the left? The sky? Nothing draws my eye. Also, the colors are dull as fuck. I don't care if it was a cloudy, overcast day. That's not the issue. The colors and light are just sad and dull. Also, the picture is crooked. The whole thing is leaning to the right. Also, there doesn't appear to be any thought to the composition. Everything's just . . . there.
>>2867733Okay. You're going for the geometry here. It's not a bad idea. The scene is reasonably unique. Again, though, the light and the colors feel dull as fuck. Also, the weird wide aspect ratio doesn't work. I'm sure you were trying to exclude extra shit at the top and bottom, but it looks like a photo which you attempted to salvage by cropping. Again, too, the scene is cluttered. It's just messy. Sometimes, the architecture might be cool, but because of all the extra shit in the frame it just may not be worth it.
>>2867738I actually like the neon here. It's something interested to look at, especially as it plays off the floor and table. Once again, though, this is crooked at fuck, and the perspective is all wonky. Also, even though the neon lights are cool, the color for the rest of the shot is, again, dull. I feel like this has great potential to be a cool shot, but you'd have to walk around and trying out some different compositions and then give it some TLC in editing.
Keep going, bro. Just because these are shitty don't mean you won't learn. My advice to you is this: When something catches your eye, before you whip out that camera and start snapping, stop and think about *what* it was that caught your eye. Then think about *why* it caught your eye. Was it the color? Was it the shape? What is the subject? What made you stop and think "I need to shoot this." Then, once you can answer that question, think about *how* best to capture that with the tools you have.
