A very good portrait of a gorgeous dog. I might crop it in just to the left of the brick which is lying on the ground. It would bring more attention to the dog. My eye was drawn immediately to the brick and the pallet on the right. I also am not a fan of incorporating writing on the photo. If you want to title it, a moderate frame and smaller letters work better for me. Your colors, especially in the dog are very nice.
Fine image!
I think the mono version does more justice to the repeating pattern. I like the color version, but the different colors break up the flow of the pattern. In the color version, I think I would prefer it with the last two row of cups cropped. Then the attention is more on the wonderful color of the cups. As it stands, I prefer v1.
I really am more attracted to your composition than the mods. It gives the feeling of the place, and is true "street photography". The details are what makes the photo interesting. I understand the classic reasons for wanting to crop the sign, but in this case I think the rule is better broken. The tension that exists in the varying elements of the photo is also its strength.
An attractive composition all around. I like the lights in the distance and that beautiful dawn sky. I don't know what aperture you used, but a slightly smaller aperture (larger number) might have brought the foreground light into better focus. I like it the way it is, so that is just a suggestion. It is a very appealing image.
I like the way you have chosen where the light falls, it makes the statue appear as though it is floating in air. It also draws the eye to it, making it the main focus of your image. Your exposure is very good for the varying light conditions, too. You have detail in the shadowy area, and yet are not over-exposed in the lighter part. Well done!
This is lovely, and I am impressed with the way you handled the exposure. As to the blue sign....I can see both sides of the argument. I rather like the spot of color in an otherwise brown composition, and because it is street photography, I think leaving it is appropriate. Artistically, perhaps it could be cloned out, but I don't think it would actually improve the aesthetics of the image.
Skies are sometimes just like that....we have the same issue here in Maine...sometimes they are so light grey they are colorless. In this case, I really like how the steel grey sky echos the grey street. Nicely done! The bracketting suggestion is a good one, I often take one under exposed and one over exposed by just a stop to see which looks best. Replacing skies is never a good idea in my opinion, the light in the photograph will look unnatural when that is done, and it's almost always quite obvious.
The composition and colors in this are beautiful. There is some noise showing up in the buildings. This can easily be remedied using a noise removal tool. It happens a lot in digital work, and is just one of those basic editing techniques which you will learn soon. Great job on the binging out the light in this.
