    EOS M: M for Mirrorless

    Don't really care about specs and such. Think that the EOS-M is still an awesome camera, with all the goodness packed into a small package.

    Life from a different world

    The reflection is killing the shot. The whitish patch near the girl diminish the impact of the subject per se, as the patch look like another window on first glance, and just unnaturally growing out from the side of the girl's head. Anyway, rules of third is just a guideline and not exactly...

    Life from a different world

    Just curious, are you shooting behind a glass window?

    A Walk in the Park

    There are certainly some interesting elements in this picture, including the rather illogically placed numerals on the ground and the three mushroom like items on the left, which probably cause you to trigger the shot anyway. However, the execution of the picture does not do these subjects much...

    vagrant

    The picture fell pretty short of what you're trying to achieve in many ways. Firstly, the picture was taken where you are on an elevation higher than the subject here, making it hard to feel any 'respect' of the person. If anything, it felt more like looking down. Secondly, the crop is so...

    Fascination

    No idea why you ask me about it. Anyway, since you did, I decided to do a bit more and enhance your picture somewhat. It's a bit reddish and pixelated though. Give me a better copy and maybe I could do a bit more. :bsmilie: Anyway, with regards to DOF, it is a bit limiting at this point. As...

    Curious Toddler

    I am afraid that I found the picture to be more surreal and even disturbing. A toddler kept behind coloured bars, like how we use fairy tales to fabricate their reality. And while it seems that the toddler have the sensibility to try and look beyond this cage, the fact that it is kept within the...

    Fascination

    In photography, rules are guidelines we follow. And just like any rules, they work most of the time, giving us expected results again and again. However, there will always be exception to the rule. In this case, since you are focusing on a portrait, the background or the action are not really...

    Darkroom facilities

    I do printing in my own room. All you need is a dark enough room (with no light leakage), an enlarger (which is kinda cheap if you can find a good second one one) and printing equipment (trays, chemicals and paper). A sink is actually kinda optional, since you could always do the washing of...

    Festive Love

    Would you mind putting a larger image please? It is not possible to give a fair critique with such a small image.

    A moment please...

    Black and white are quite extensively used for abstract work, since they are the easiest to isolate a subject of interest in a rather chaotic scene. And although the idea is there in this case, the colour incompatibility is exceptional marked here, e.g. the handle of the sword is so close to the...

    Union

    It isn't easy to define a certain emotion for an union, since it is usually a mixture of happiness, sombre, respecting, sorrow and hope. By restricting your subject of focus on the marriage certificate however is doing yourself a disfavour in capturing the mood, especially since inanimate object...

    There's the mosque...

    Landscape photography in city is always difficult to pull off, due to the tremendous amount of stray elements that would dampen the enthusiasm of the photographer. As pointed out by the critics above, the stray elements range from the messy shop-house layout to the vehicles in the foreground, to...

    Aviva Ironman 2010

    The charm of doing monochrome picture is the ability to make superbly contrasty images, without worrying the incorrect colouration that may be resulted from over-processing. Monochrome images are more forgiving as well, and could easily reduce a chaotic image to convey a strong imagery or...

    Former Court House

    I love landscape critiquing. Since it's so easy to get things wrong. The exposure and details of the image is fine. The use of the starlight filter is a superb touch. However, the image just plainly does not work. The reason is simple: composition, composition, composition. What's wrong...

    Film effect

    I am kind of intrigued by the subject title here, "film effect". Being a faithful film user, I can't even be sure if two films would even give you the same effect. So, I am really just going to use my imagination to think of what you're trying to do here. Now, obviously the first problem (as...

    Poor Kite

    Although pictures against the skies could make the loveliest image possible, they could also be the hardest to take. This is mainly because the exposure are the hardest to refine, with most camera giving average metering of certain points in the scene. What that means is that, the camera will...
