waterfront shot

Hi Mate. I gotta be honest and say that nothing really appeals to me about the image. The building and half-a-boat don't really provide much interest and although there are rocks in the foreground they are out of focus.
Possibly a reshoot by getting the whole boat in would work, and choosing an aperture of about f/11 - f/16 and focusing 1/3 of the way into the frame would help to get everything sharp. Hope this helps mate. Owen.
I think that this shot would have been better with less of the bank and more of the boat. There is insufficient interest on the bank and the soft focus doesn't really help.

doesnt do a lot for me either.
seems very busy in foreground and background but nothing really the focal point or subject of the shot. Steve check out my image gallery @

I get what you're saying and can agree with what you're saying.
The reason I decided to focus on the rocks was I was intrigued by the texture and thought it had a lot of contrast within itself. BUT...as you said, the boat is kind of just "entering" the frame, no real striking interest there. I guess its one of those things when you think you have something but others just dont agree. hahahaha, not saying you're wrong and I'm right, not at all. Thanks for the comments fellas. I probably will start throwing more images up for comments and critique
Yeah keep at it mate. If possible when you're out taking shots, get a couple of angles. I think a landscape one of the above photos would get the rocks as well as the boat in, which would help it out a lot.
Look forward to seeing some more from you. Cheers, Owen.
Make it really high contrast B&W and i reckon you've got a winner. Make those blacks really black and the whites really white though.
Steve.
