Frank, Actually I am glad that you took the time and effort to look at my entry. Construtive criticism is always welcome. This was a vacation snapshot. Late afternoon sun, cluttered interior of a shop in an old building, no flash other than the puny built-in of a 5N and not enough reach from my 28-70. I got my excuses covered. But I got all the red I could!
Thanks, Albert >>Vejigante by Albert Fekson - An interesting subject, but >>unfortunately, there are a few things in the frame that distract from >>it somewhat. The framed picture near the bottom, and the air vent at >>the top really don't do much for the photo. The harsh shadows don't >>help much either, IMHO. I know that you likely couldn't move the >>mythical beast, but maybe some tighter framing might have helped, or a >>different angle or something. Not that it's a bad photo, but it has >>the look of a travel snapshot - which I guess it is. There's >>potential to make it a photograph that goes beyond "what we saw during >>our trip to Puerto Rico". I hope I don't sound too harsh, as my >>critique is (1) my honest feelings, and (2) an attempt to be helpful. >>Also, if you spend much time on PDML, you know not to listen to >>anything I say, anyway. <vbg>.
