Wooden Pattern

[Gigi71]

What do you think about it?

[Mike Buckley]

Great color!

An image like this needs either a small detail or a large pattern that grabs our attention. Neither element is evident to me in this photo, so my eye wanders with nothing to hold it.

Great shot =D
I would have tried to wet the wood to give it a darker colour '-' But since it look like firewood maybe that wouldn't have been a great idea

[Gigi71]

Thank you Mike, why do I feel kind of honoured?

Great idea, Pelle, just pity it was a midsummery day and I had no water at that place. Aside from the fact that I really wouldn't have had that idea

Nice.

Thanks John.

I like it Gigi...tell story about it...then we will understand and know how to comment appropriately. We never have that much wood around here if we do not buy them...

Hi Brigitte. I agree with Mike's assessment on both the color and the composition.

If you get a chance to reshoot, try moving in closer and make one of the more interesting logs prominent. For example, zoom in on the odd shaped log center left or another of your choosing. You could shoot several from different angles and perspectives, then compare them to see which you like best. Once you have chosen a favorite, compare that one to the others and try to determine why you like that one best. That exercise should help you to 'see' better when you are out looking for interesting subjects to capture.

tell story about it...

Well, story... that was a trip to the Alps around Tyrol, to "Wilder Kaiser", such a lovely weather that day. There are lots of houses like that beneath, and some are "wrapped" into a coat of wood completely! Just had that idea of taking a picture particularly of the wood in the last minute, so had to rush.

Frank, look about the time I had for it, but thank you very much for that advise, I think that's a good idea and will consider that for the next time!

Brigitte,

The light in the image is so good it makes me look at the different shades, shapes, and shadows.
A really good image with all the elements to make it good. Well done.

Wonderful place Brigitte,I would upload this photo instead of the first actually

[Gigi71]

Thank you Izzie, Andre and Binnur.

And David, you would change Turkey for Tyrol??? You would have to change your name to Deethetyrolean then!

The second photo is really fascinating! I've never seen anything like it.

Your vignette is really obvious, unappealing so for me. First, crop to eliminate most of the sky. Then try making a vignette that is elliptical rather than circular and not so strong.

Lol, ok, almost expected such a reaction, and I felt that this is too much of vignette, was a preset thing from the camera, so not processed at the computer. So I agree with your suggestion.

This picture just was supposed as an example how the houses there look with the wood, looks like the motive now prevails towards the pattern-image.

Mike, maybe you should go there one day to see it for real
