Evaluate My Photo

[Kan Win]

Shot this photo last week in Kan using 'bracketing' mode 5 steps, but it did not come out very good for a HDR photo, so I used one of the shots below:-

1st Original in .jpg

OLYMPUS E-3

1/2564s f/3.2 at 14.0mm iso400

2nd one was the RAW photo (my camera setting RAW+JPG) processed in 'Photomatix Pro 3.1' and then slight adjustments in 'ACDSee Pro 2.5' and added the borders and signed:-

Am I heading in the right direction ? What do you think?

Yours truly,

The 2nd one is definitely moving in the right direction. I'd rather see a bit more of the water and crop some of the sky, but a really nice shot I think.

Yes I agree the second one is very good, I feel the effect the clouds add to the picture plays an important part in the shot, so I disagree about the comment regarding more water.

The 2nd one

crop to this

the subject is the train on the bridge the sky a background. The green hills on the right distract from the subject, have cropped out

too dark, have lightened to get more brillinace out of the colour of the train

delete drop shadow and boarder as they detract from the image

the signature.... well up to you, personally i think its a bit ugly, highlights the ego rather than the image

there is something wrong with engineering of your lens, shown by the parallax problem of the angle of the first left hand pylon

but the overall effect is quite good
