Photo critiquing

I love getting my photos critiqued by photographers so I can learn and see how to improve my photography. I joined one online photo community called ephotozine.com which is based out of England and has a world wide base.

I submitted a photo I took this past weekend to see what would happen. Well, I not only got quite a bit of response, but some took the time to edit the photos and show how they were able to improve on it.

It is amazing how different people see how best to improve on a photo and how subjective it is. It is also interesting that the first thing some of them did was take out the color and make it b/w or monochrome. Only one other kept in the color. This process really makes me think about how best to present a picture.

One thing I did learn on this particular picture is that most did not like the additional clutter around the truck. I did submit a similar picture the next day with just the truck and got more approval on that one.

Here is the original:

Here are the results from critiquers:





Here is the second submittal with just the truck in the field.
