    Best 4WD Pic/Critique

    I thought I would start a thread where we could post a 4WD pic and get critique from all the budding photographers here. Here are my first couple of pix,



    and



    The only things done to these pix PP are cropping and boarders.

    The top one is striking! Ireally like the angle put on the Disco and the interest in the background.
    Cheers

    I love the first shot. Getting a sense of 'angles' with 4x4's are hard. IMO this works, a very descriptive photo showing the labour of the climb. Nice one!

    Thanks guys. I really like that shot too. As far as the rule of 3rds go it's a bit off, but for this particular shot it seems to work.

    You could still crop it to regain the rule of 3rds.

    I did do that initially, but I like the feel or look of the rock in the foreground. Dunno, what do you guys think?

    rule of thirds is a guide not a must,

    I can't see how you would crop to have the thirds working for you without losing the foreground or the motorbike both which help the photo.

    re the top one,
    good colour balance,
    are you clipping out on the headlights and the rider ? or is it my monitor ? you might want to have a look at your histogram and bring the white point down a little or is it up...

    That first one is a really top shot Siska. I don't think you need to crop anything out of that - shows just the right level of detail to tell the story.

    I've tweaked the shadows & highlights to tweak the image a bit - check the shadows under the wheels or the detail on the ground near the bike. To balance those changes I moved the levels a bit as it was now a little dark and used the black and white point settings as a final tweak. I also sharpened it a bit.

    But I can't match the composition and the action in the shot! Excellent stuff.
