Artist's Comments

Nice to meet you, Singapore.

Come meet us on Thursday, May 21st 2009!!! Visit #hq for details.

For you critics:

I'm not sure exactly why I'm not 200% confident about this photograph. I think it's because I've angled it intentionally because I liked it.. but I know I get slapped on the wrist every time I do that so please tell me what you think about this aspect of the composition.

Otherwise, I applied an enhance effect in iPhoto to eliminate a lot of particle noise in the air in singapore that I couldn't have done anything about in the snap.

Everything else is as I shot it, no modifications.

Critiques


:iconelwe-the-elf:
First of all, the tilt really does make the photo better. Without it, it would look much more plain, I think. Kind of like a candid photo against one where the subject posed. If you know what I mean.

Second, I appreciate how there was very little in the way of photo-editing. It makes the picture seem truer somehow, more frank.

Also, you really came along at a great time; all the lights are against a clear night sky. It seems colorful, bright, but not in a rainbow-y sense, if you understood that. Sort of simple and complex at the same time.

Now if only my travel photos looked this good. Oh well.

Okay. First of all, for me it wasn't a good idea with making it this way. I don't like that it's turned like this. I prefer just usual photos, where the horizon is... horizontal. :XD:

But generally I like this photo very much. Especially because I haven't seen city like this in real, only on the photos, so they're always fascinating me. We haven't them in Poland. :(
Yet. ;P
I love those lights. I love those colors. And that it's a good technically photo. Everything is sharp and well visible.
Only could be bigger... :XD: But it's probably only my own opinion, because I just like to click pictures and have them as big, as my screen, to "be" in the world of that pic. :)

So generally - I love it. :dance:

Nice :wow:

Why you tilted the camera ??
:iconnesi:
I would take the woman in focus, down left a bit closer to the edge to avoid cropping half-people on the bottom right.

Aside of that, to be fair, a pretty boring photo. City scape. It's not a bad photo. Just you know... boring. But it doesn't make it bad :)

I think I would like it slightly less tilted, it would work better compositionally :P

yah I can see the boring part... it excites me cuz I'm in the city and I like the city and I'm generally unfamiliar with the cityscape for singapore... so perhaps that novelty for me is what makes the photo exciting. but that aside? maybe it's a good tourist shot and not worth the post.... hmmm bah, at least it's perdy.

It's a wonderful shot!
I like the angle and all the lights :D
Very well done Angelo! :thumbsup:
:icongiorjoe:
I like it exactly because of the composition. Don't mind the slappers. They slap you because you slap their conventionality.

Energize! :jedi::sprint:safety
:iconspyed:
now that you say that, I think you're right... a little less tilt.....

I dunno when I first saw it I loved it... now it's not so good. BAH! hehe
