German Body...wha? ???

Hello,
Compositionally, I really like this photo. The detail that really is interesting is the small section of green foilage. However, I think that the color balance is a little off.

Hope to see more.

Hello Yoyo,

Quite frankly, I am not too sure what to think about that one. My primary concern is about the composition itself. For this kind of abstract where you simply cannot identify what you are looking at, it seems to me that the lightning take a greater importance.
In your picture, I assume that the light came at angle from one of the rear side of the structure but it fall flat as you have shot the side in the shadow.

Also, I feel that the colors of the main subject should be more saturated taking in account how the leafs in the background are. Finally, I think that it might be interesting to see the subject a little more in its context. Now, I can't say if it's possible or not but I would like to see the structure in such a way that it remain an abstract yet the surrounding environment take more place.

Honnestly, I find this kind of picture hard to criticise but I feel that you could treat the subject differently.

regards

Seb

Hey Yoyo,
I take it this is the German Horse from your location of "Only fools and Horses" I agree with alot of what Seb has stated already. I like this as an abstract but feel the lighting needed to enhance, even ever so slightly, the image. and for some reason I find the small section of folige to be taking away from the abstract that I see it to be. It some how "gives it away". It gives away too much. But I like the curve of the body along that area. Still an interesting image

Sorry Yoyo - I don't see any German in this so the title put me off to start with (Not even a German Flag)

I agree with what has already been said. Need a lot more colour to make it interesting.
