guernseyfreak Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Hi Guys, attached is my entry for the Hash 'Mechanical' Image Contest. Critique Welcome... Quote
lazz Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 you've gotta send it to steve@hash.com for it to be put in the contest. Quote
guernseyfreak Posted January 9, 2005 Author Posted January 9, 2005 I know, I already sent it. I just wanted to know what others thought of it. Any critique out there? Quote
starwarsguy Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Ohhhhh! THAT'S the next topic?! OK. I hope not as many people enter this one. Quote
jamagica Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Lighting is great and so is scene, but what's in here that will make people think, "I'm guessing this guy was trying to model a mechanical structure"...right now it looks like a room for the mechanism...I suggest modeling something and putting it into the water Quote
Dearmad Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 The banding or whatever that is... doesn't look so good. And what is the area of interest to the viewer? Why? Seems unfocused in this way to me. Quote
Pengy Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I believe the purpose of not allowing copyrights on the image contest entries is to keep things anonymous. Posting for critiques before the vote kind of defeats this. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 9, 2005 Hash Fellow Posted January 9, 2005 "Mechanical" is another one that lures out the heavy hitters. You might want to look what they came up with the last time it was the topic to get a sense of what is done: http://www.hash.com/imagecontest/Feb04/Feb04winners.asp Quote
lazz Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I know, I already sent it. oooh. My bad! sorry about that. What you said in your first post made me think that you thought that they thought that... nevermind. As far as critiques go, the only thing that I can think of is that there seems to be not a whole lot of things in the picture, and makes it questionable for me how it is related to the contest topic. Other than that, I like the lighting, it makes it look mysterious as the light comes from behind the object in the foreground. Neat, almost spooky even. Great stuff. Hope you do well! -Robert Quote
guernseyfreak Posted January 9, 2005 Author Posted January 9, 2005 Ok guys, I do agree that I should put something of interest in the middle of the scene. I'll get to work on that right now. Thanks. Quote
starwarsguy Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Yeah, ummm, if there are people that make obvious mechanical things in the picture, they'd beat you. Add something in that everyone can recognize. Quote
Sacman Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Am I the only one that sees the severe banding? THis may just be my crappy work computer. If it is actually there, would multipass fix that? What is the 'ground' supposed to be? It looks like brown water but again this may just be my crappy work computer. If this was what you were going for it looks really good. I feel bad that you posted for critiques before the contest was over. You have probably psyched (sp?) yourself up for a great finish in the contest and then jacka--es like us come along and shatter your dreams. Good luck either way. Wade Quote
pixelmech Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Also, it is very dark - dark scenes can be cool but you have to make sure that it doesn't become too muddy. Probably an item of interest will help Quote
Etalis Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 I hate to say it, but what's the fire hydrant doing in there? I really like your ground texture. It's got an industrial water feel to it. Quote
