my week has been batshit crazy so far and appears to be continuing on that path into next week. This is a good thing for me here, but it does delay the critiques...Sorry and I promise everybody will get some feedback. Hang in there with me.Originally Posted by az3579

12. I will say that I am not a total camera snob so I ignored initially the grainy noise in the image quality...Had this shot come down to being a finalist, however, that would have been an issue for me. Depending on the camera you are using there is usually a function that allows you to control the ISO setting. THis ISO is too high, but my guess is that its set to auto and the camera made the compensations. Other than that just a few minor things... Try not to break up curves or lines in your composition, that road has some really nice bends in it and what appears to be a pretty cool backdrop, use them to your advantage by letting lead the viewers eye to the subject in a fluid way.
The subject is in the middle of the shot which inherently pulls my eyes to the middle, my mind says okay ive seen it and its time to move on. The goal is to keep someone on your photo for about 30 seconds...Center composition usually results in people staying focused for about 5-10 seconds and the background just becomes irrelevant.
The reflections are apparent but not totally distracting but keep an eye out for that kind of stuff. The horizon is tilted to the right but the car is facing left. Just some little stuff. Check out "rule of thirds" for a better explanation of what I am talking about with composition.

I can chime in here. Casey has been swamped with photo shoots. Today he was out in one of SoCal's deserts doing a shoot. I think he has two days available for editing work. I am sure he will finish up with the critiques, though, as soon as he finds a free moment.
Hell, I have a couple of questions into him right now about a camera and lenses I am thinking of buying. He has not answered me yet. If you know our relationship, you know that means he's busy.
