NYCat Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I don't see any pontoons in the images. Are those little structures called pontoons? Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulette I'd call a floating structure a pontoon. That's more of a pier. But it's not a bad tag to include. Of course that may be what the resort calls them.

Bryan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Tidying up LR catalogue, I came across loads of unprocessed shots from a trip to Sicily in 2016, no idea why I didn't deal with them at the time. I quite like these two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I came out of it OK - was just a little cold and wet with sea spray. More good news today, it made the front page of 2 local rags! Love your 2 Sicily shots, especially the top one.

I just seen your portfolio. I think you just need to be a bit more patient and wait for more unique moments, including better lighting. I've taken your pub image below, by itself it's not so interesting but if you wait long enough I'm sure you'll get a character walking by - ideally someone local and eccentric! This will make the image 5x more commercial. Since this is an editorial anyway, including some people usually adds value to shots. On a little side note, the flag is cut off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you don't mine that I make a suggestion. I think you can take more care with your framing. Sometimes it seems that there is too much empty space in the foreground and sometimes it is the opposite with something being cut off a bit at the bottom. I'm sure it is just a matter of paying more attention to your edges. It takes time to get sales and also takes time to refine what you are doing.

Too much uninteresting foreground in some of your shots. A case in point, your hospital image is the kind of thing that the papers use, but it would have much more impact had you got closer in and taken out the foreground that does not contribute. I recognise the problem because I have made the same mistake! I learned a great deal by looking out for Alamy photos in the papers and magazines, you can see see what sells. Look critically at the pictures, try to work out what makes them aesthetically and, more importantly, commercially attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
