    Re: Water Craters

    To be brutally honest, it isn't anything special. Much of the image seems under exposed, and the subject is not very interesting. I would guess that you took this one on a whim while sitting on the bus, and there is nothing wrong with that. But, perhaps you should be more selective of the photos you upload for serious critique.

    Post away Don, this is where we learn might not be interesting to everyone but there is something about puddles that are fun to shoot!

    I posted it because I suddenly realized, ripples are craters in the water.

    I'm thinking you could split this into 2 fairly interesting abstracts to be displayed side by side. I'm thinking a vertical cut right down the middle of the puddle/crater in the exact center of the frame.

    As a whole the image seems a bit over processed, almost grainy and with too wide a tonal range.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Hey Don, don't get me wrong, you are a bigger part of the community than I am by far - I just noticed that many of your photos are taken on a whim, no real potential impact in mind. Maybe that is just your style though, I do not want you to think I was trying to sound condescending (reread my post and it could have been worded in a better way).

    I meant over exposed btw... but that is just the water reflecting light back - making the image much brighter.
