Couple of Black n' White Photos

Progen

Just a few I dug out, all pretty recent, simple enough.

I think the first one looks kinda cool... nicely composed.

tbh, the others are a bit mundane... especially the last..

good effort though.

The first is good, nice idea.
the rest are a little boring especially the last one. I agree with Sauron.

A few people seem to like the first one.. It kind of gives off a 'commerical' look.. as though to emphesise the belt...

Must have a play around with a few more... what does anyone make of the plaque? I kinda thought it was cool, emphesising on that and the chain in the background rather than statue itself?

maybe i'm just a bit of a pushover?!?

The first one is nice... I like the effect of the motion blur in the background with the model in focus.

Plus having a skinny girl with a bear mid-rift always seems to improve a photo for me .. not sure why ..

The others are pretty oridinary, the second one is too dark and I can't figure out the third one at all, you can't read the sign, plus a sign isn't that exciting. And well the 4th one was you just messing around with settings I would imagine. Remember just because its a photo doesn't mean its an interesting photo.

The first one is good because it focuses on something as the subject , ie the belt , all photos that people like or feel drawn to will have a focus , that is whats missing in the other 3 , Im not saying the colour in the belt is what is drawing everyone , I am saying that the picture has a point of focus , the others dont , or dont seem to have , does that make sense ?

Love the first - very well executed. The rest are quite good too, but the first really stands out.

I love the one of the Plaque entitled "The Garden Of Europe"

Its very Mellow
kinda poet...

Oh and if you ever need anymore help with black/white people pics - Ill be more than happy to be ya model!

Good work!

Does no one else think that 2 and 3 are very underexposed?

Im afraid i completely disagree,
I actually admire the approach the Photographer took when taking theese photos.

It's as if you see exactly how he's seeing it - through his eyes.

And no - Im not suggesting he's colour blind.
You see, there's more to what it that picture than just a chunk of metal on concrete with writing on it, and the photographer obviously sees that too.
