Your photos are very sharp as they usually are. For the first photo, the way you shoot it is interesting. However, the cut of the corner of the window is breaking the integrity. The compositions of the photos are awesome.
Jenna, These images are absolutely stunning!!!!! I have been carefully watching your style progress and I can confidently say that you are so well aware of compositional elements that you are producing such delightfully complex images. Your cropping/ framing of your subjects is wonderful and you use high/dramatic contrast, shapes, shadow, asymmetry and repetition all to your advantage. I really appreciate the added element of shadow in this weeks compositions and you handle post production in a sophisticated way. I urge you to keep complicating your compositions, and I acknowledge your continuos growth in your photography. (You have knocked one of my socks off)
Your cropping continues to create very strong images! The 9th image is especially powerful because of how the lines of the roof lead the viewers eye up to the tower and then the empty sky. You have a good mix of symmetrical and asymmetrical photos.
The first image is absolutely stunning to me because of the contrast of nature with the industrial window. I think that your strong contrast really works for all of your images, and your style. The 6th image is the least successful to me because it's the lest interesting composition wise, and I feel like you are capable of more interesting compositions. I appreciate how you played around with capturing shadow in two of your images, and it would be cool to see you do more of that.
I'm loving these! These give me a real urban exploration vibe and I like that. The 7th image comes off a little blurry though. I would love to see you incorporate neon lights and light trails and make your photos even more 3D and poppy.
I really want to know what you did to your photo #3#5#9 so that the backgrounds are so dark. I think the structure/shapes in your photos this week give a strong impact to the viewers visually and the impact was brought to a much higher level with you professional editing skill.
Images 1, 4, and 8 are my favorite, though I get the feeling that every image you picked for your top 10 was framed and edited with acute attention to composition - I really like your series for this week, it feels like an accumulation of everything you've worked on in the previous weeks, though refined.
I think up until now I haven't been very fond of images with high contrast since in the process a lot of the more subtle values vanish, but the starkness does draw attention to the important parts of the image while simplifying elements in a way that keeps details from becoming overwhelming.
You've convinced me that post-shoot editing is actually useful, and architecture can be an interesting subject too :P
What I love the most about your photos is that i don't even think of architecture or buildings when I see your images, I see this very interesting lines and geometric shapes. I love the your 7th image because i love how the light shining though the grap creates a beautiful line that softly breaks the image into two parts.
These images are SO striking! The 8th one is my favorite because it tells a narrative. I'm left wondering who made those marks on the window, and the sharp shadows give me a nervous feeling like I should be afraid to open the door. I think you could definitely push that more in your future images. Narrative aside, all these compositions are spot on, and it's especially successful you incorporated shadow into making them.
