    Default The Dunsmuir Cathedral



    I shot this a couple of weeks ago and would like to here some constructive thoughts about it. I would consider myself to be relatively new to photography although I have shot for a couple years now.

    Thanks, eh!

    Looks very powerfull to me. Only thing is alignement. Seems to tilt to the right a bit .... maybe you could PhotoShop it straighter?

    In all honesty, I find the watermark totally overwhelms the photo to the point where I see the watermark as the subject and the photo as an accessory.....just calling it as I see it.
    I know Dunsmuir family history is a huge part of the westcoast having grown up and spent 35 years of my life in Victoria.

    I quite like the composition on this. Most people would have wanted the archway face on and ended up with a familiar looking shot.

    The watermark does definitely make it a bit difficult to look at. Take the stroke (black outline) off it and it might be less imposing but still effective.

    Thanks for the response. I am currently working on making the watermark more subtle. I got to look at it again about the shot being crooked. I normally have a good eye for things being level but I'm not perfect.

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Im open to more comments!
