>>4512463 askew exposure is fine maybe lowering the camera parallel to the subject would have been a more interesting composition since there’s a lot of head room showing clouds which could have been foot room showing more of that building the cranes are the most interesting part of the picture, anything you could have done to fill the frame more with them would have been an improvement

>>4512432 there’s no shadows pulling down the shadows on the tone curve would only be an improvement I think the composition is very neat and shows a lot of care (the precise and level kerb at the bottom/railing at the top, the banner positioned along the lower vertical third and the foliage pushing across horizontal two thirds). a lot of implied geometry. highlights are fine, not too bright. could be better with more contrast

>>4512386 cool view shadows are dodged too hard (look at the face of the man on the stairs at the left, for example: even the lightest parts of his face are very dark). although it seems to be late afternoon when nearly everything is naturally in the shade, a bit more lightness in the lower midtones to contrast with the shadows would add some clarity and definition to the scene

>>4512374 I don’t like it but I can’t say exactly why it’s a nice subject maybe it’s the bright background and the relatively shady subject. it might feel better with some more light on the subject

>>4512525 >I don’t like it but I can’t say exactly why The HDR and being crispy sharp while lacking detail is what I don't like about it. Almost certainly a phone pic.
>>4512522 >>4512629 Thanks for feedback, your crop is way better. I think you have a point regarding the color and contrast too but I am not sure about making the sky fully piss yellow like that, but I see the point.
>>4512751 Thank you for the feedback :) I have no ideas of how to shoot self portraits and I don’t like to expose myself, so I didn’t know how it was going to be the result. I got a couple more, but they are even duller.

>>4512762 NTA but you could experiment more with shadows, like putting some odd shaped object in front of the light to cast a shadow across your face.

>>4512791 Thank you, I’m going to try experimenting more next time :)
>>4512360(OP) did you crop this from the very center of a larger picture? photo would be good if it wasn't so muddy around her head Guy in the background is creepy af too, removing his face can't hurt
