    The Stairs

    I found these steps interesting since they are made out of coral rock. Still learning how to take shots at good angles, so C&C welcome.

    Not too sure about the B&W treatment.
    Contrast is way too high. What time of day did you shoot this?
    Might be better in color. Also the texture of the coral looks very interesting.
    Try to highlight it in the composition.
    Look through a glass eye.
    Give it a few tries.
    Nothing goes right in its time.

    The B/W treat....can't do much since it is B/W film. ;) It is Kodak BW400CN ISO 400.
    The scan is almost the same as on the print. Time of day shot was about noon.

    This house has a lot of coral rock treatments around it. I think I'm going to have to somehow monopolize on that. In this area, there are many old structures with it.

    I think it needs another elememt. A shoe, a childs toy. Something to look at more than just the small weed.

    That's interesting. I never thought about some external completely different element like that. Why is that? Is it to change up the contrast of this object with something totally different?

    To add mood, mystery. Make the viewer look for more than a few seconds. Give it a story.
