Your 5th picture is awesome. The repetition in lines on the stairs rails creates movement in the photograph. I feel like your 4th image is less strong than the others, but you do have good symmetry going on in it.
I think your construction and line-based compositions are very interesting but a wider range of values, as well as extra contrast throughout the collection, could have made them more compelling to the viewer.
Photos six and ten feel a little over exposed, maybe bringing down the brightness could help. Throughout your images the compositions and camera angles are strong and successful. The way you captured patterns in this series was also successful, particularly in photos one, four, five, and six.
The leading lines in the archtectural shots are really great! The images of trees feel weaker in comparison, and I think replacing them with more architectural shots would create a more cohesive group.
I disagree with Ryan and think photos 3 and 6 were your strongest due to the wide value range. A lot of your images would really benefit from higher contrast and maybe a more direct light source since they’re very middle gray. Especially since your shots are so linear it would be really cool if this was emphasized and more dramatic
It's good you are experimenting with various angles. Try to alter what you see more. By that I mean that a couple shots, like six, seven, and nine, are very obvious of the location and what we are looking at. The rest of the photos are better at finding something new and interesting of the subject matter.
The 8th picture shows a good utilization of depth of field to capture the texture. The higher value of exposure presenting mostly whites and greys is done very well in the 6th picture. The 6th also features an interesting pattern and gradient effect.
Kirsten, Your use of various perspectives works really well. Looking through each image affords a new angle. Some of your compositional elements are repeated. You use leading lines a lot, symmetry and contrast are there too. Pattern, texture, repetition and evening light are missing. Technically your images are okay, but your compositions themselves lack black and white. Remember, a good photograph has black, white and grey. Kashif
In photo number 3 I wonder why the tree is presented in what I think is upside down. I also curious in the experimentation with different angles in the buildings and using the trees in other photos such as photo 7 to frame and break up the composition. I think that your value range in all of the photos can be pushed more.
