    i agree with frog. also the foreground looks very soft and throws my eyes off.

    I agree with the others. Lots of learning in shooting this powerful contrast with different crops, different perspectives and different DOF's as well as different focus points.

    Re: Sombrero 2

    Hmm.

    This one has a few issue Chaman, namely too much happening in the scene that sort makes it hard to focus on any one thing. It's a bit too soft for my liking, you really need to use a tripod on shots like this, as they are idea for it (plenty of time to set up, compose, etc).

    Another thing that sort of bothers me: why a sombrero in a place like this? Just seems out of place.

    I really like this beat up location, though. You could pose a model here - all sorts of possibilities.

    Re: Sombrero 2

    I will clarify a few points here. When I took these I was a bit afraid of the place itself due to how big it was and lonely too. I wanted to get a look and some pics in the meantime. Im considering going back with a tripod though. The sombrero was simply...there! The awkwardness was what immediately draw me towards it.
