Perhaps a different angle or perspective would have aided this photo. The tight space of the actual staircase does make this a difficult subject to photograph. Try making a collage of three photos, an environmental shot - like the one above - then a detail of the stairs and any patterns in the wood. Just a suggestion, but stairs do make great pattern shots.http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/stairs.aspx#comment-2367087Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:16:06 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/paint-my-future.aspx#comment-2367070SpencerIncreasing the contrast and saturation would help this photo.http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/paint-my-future.aspx#comment-2367070Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:10:32 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/kewannee.aspx#comment-2367062SpencerThe composition in this photo is a little lacking. I assume the bird was the subject that drew you to take the photo. Maybe a tighter crop on the bird and a more saturated sky would help.http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/kewannee.aspx#comment-2367062Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:08:52 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/paint-my-future-2.aspx#comment-2367047SpencerAn interesting photo. I would have liked to see the expression on the boy's face as he studied the street art.http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/paint-my-future-2.aspx#comment-2367047Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:01:59 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/hongdae-sunset-with-tree.aspx#comment-2367041SpencerThe highlights in this photo are a little blown. A longer exposure and a smaller F-stop would fix this, assuming you're using ISO 100 on your digital or film camera.http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/hongdae-sunset-with-tree.aspx#comment-2367041Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:59:34 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/queen-and-princess.aspx#comment-2367033SpencerGreat colours and expressions. You have done a great job of picking the subjects out of the background, giving the picture a nice perspective and 3-dimensional quality.http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/queen-and-princess.aspx#comment-2367033Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:55:12 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/the-tightrope-walker.aspx#comment-2367024SpencerThis has the potential to be a great photo. The subject's poise on the tightrope is incredible. The only thing I would recommend for the future is to use a telephoto lens, anything between a 105-300mm focal length, to blur the background and give the photo a 3D perspective. The white of the subject's robe and the white shirts of the crowd distracts the eye unless the crowd is slightly blurred. You can even do this post-processing in CS3 or CS4.http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/the-tightrope-walker.aspx#comment-2367024Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:49:10 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/buinsa-temple.aspx#comment-2367009SpencerI love the pattern in this photo. An interesting angle as well for a difficult subject to photograph given the confines of the space.http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/buinsa-temple.aspx#comment-2367009Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:42:24 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/paint-my-future-2.aspx#comment-2353798EllyI'd like to see that. Most unusual and looks fascinating. Do they do it often in Seoul?http://photo.esldaily.org/2009/07/11/paint-my-future-2.aspx#comment-2353798Sat, 15 Aug 2009 03:43:02 GMThttp://photo.esldaily.org/2008/09/25/wires.aspx#comment-1459750chinesewomanSimply neat!http://photo.esldaily.org/2008/09/25/wires.aspx#comment-1459750Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:29:41 GMT
