Trying very hard

please give me comments so that i can learn and improve. thanks guys!

The red and the rust work really well against the grey sky. The converging verticals however IMO make the structure look wrong. It could do with the verticals adjusted either using perspective adjustment or if you have Photoshop using the skew tool, though I doubt you have enough space on the right hand side to do that. I think the picture would also look better with more of the legs of the structure in the frame, and a bit less sky. The platform itself is too close to the bottom of the picture, I would also clone out that contrail. If you have the opportunity to shoot this again I think it's worth another visit, as I do really like the red and the rust against the sky.

Thanks for your advice. It's very helpful!

Momo, you have to make your mind up as to what approach you want to take, when photographing things, and what attracted you into shooting this particular scene?
In regard to the image, if you was taking up a 'documentary' approach then this doesn't work because you haven't provided any context, sense of scale or relationship with it's surroundings. Colour popping certainly doesn't work in that area of photography either.

On the other hand if it's an artistic one, then this is the wrong type of subject and the colour popping does nothing to make it so.

Other than this there is a lot more that you need to consider when composing your photographs. I would advise you to pick up a book on the basics of photography - regarding composition, quality of light and angles of approach etc. Having an inherent knowledge of these things will help you no-end, and you will be able to construct your photographs in a better way.

Better still, look at other photographer's images, in particular those that shoot the same things that your interested in shooting. BTW, only look for the best imagery, otherwise before you know it, you'll be going backwards instead of forwards, if you know what I mean.

I think this shot has potential. I like the industrial feel to the image and I would personally chuck in some HDR.
I think it could be cropped differently for more impact so I would try out different crops and see if any look better.
In this image I like the sky, the rust and the red. However if possible I would revisit and shoot again from differing angles.

thanks!
Looks like i can't be lazy just shoot. haha

Will look into some books. Paul, do you have any suggestions for boos?

And Karl, i personally like the rust and the red vs. the sky too. But really no chance to go back and have another shot, not in a short time anyway!

Sorry Momo, I should have mentioned a couple. Here are two that can help you:

The Photographer's Eye - Michael Freeman.
The Art of Photography - Bruce Barnbaum.

If you are into shooting nature as in plants, forests and flowers in the wild, then anything by Freeman Patterson will inspire.

Hope this helps...

I agree with Paul's first comment re context if it's a documentary shot, but I can't agree that this 'is the wrong type of subject for artistic photography'. That's too much of a blanket statement and it's offered up as if it is fact rather than opinion.

There is - in my opinion - LOADS of potential for artistic photography in that structure. I think you just need to get in there and start isolating parts rather than necessarily showing the whole thing with no context. There's a potential treasure trove of texture, pattern, rhythm, and juxtaposition of form in there waiting to be unlocked.

@Paul
Thanks for the books!

@Will
I agree with you too about it has LOADS of potentials! hahaha.and also thanks for your OPNIONs.

That was the best piece of advice I was ever given.

Pentax', I didn't mean it to come out like that. What I meant to say was her subject 'as shot'...

I'd like to see a pink pig, flying between the front pillars, but that's just me.
