I think they're a bit too much in the middle of the photo under the rule of thirds. If you can drop them down a little lower in the photo, I think they might get accepted. To me, the CSX and UP...

That's a neat picture. As best I can tell, RP doesn't really like blur shots anymore unless there is something very, very unique about the shot.

We visited Portsmouth and took a harbor tour in July--I wish an aircraft carrier had been there then. I like the shot and thanks for sharing it.

Joe,

I think the photo might me a little undersharpened, but what struck me when I viewed the photo is the pole in the front seems disproportionately sharp in comparison to the remainder of the...

I agree with adding space at the left and I would crop a little off the bottom as well. It might be necessary to crop a little on the right then, too.

Thanks for your comments, Kevin. I think you make good points about the composure, but this one was by far the best of the series I took. It's cropped a bit tight for my taste as well (and it...

I think my suspicions were confirmed by the minimal comments (thanks, though, spacetrain1983) and I've moved on from this one. I confess, though, that I like the coloring and earth shadow in the...

Dusk Photo Advice

I think I know the answer to this one, but I'm still learning these things and it helps my learning process to get independent confirmation. I submitted one version of this photo awhile back, and it...

You know, Jim, that's funny because I didn't notice the train when I took the shot and actually didn't notice it until later in the processing. Now, it frustrates me that I've missed the shot I...

Ah, I hoped for a different answer, but y'all told me what I had started to figure out in my slow way--the poles are what I saw as primarily being the problem. I probably can shoot it next time we go...

Help with Composition (and anything else)

The first two pics (Trolley & Trolley 2.0) were rejected for composition; I changed the composition to move the trolley more to the left in the second picture (2.0) but received the same rejection....

Cascading Rejection Reasons

The good news: with everyone's helpful advice, I fixed the composition problem.

The bad news: now it's a hue problem, which I confess is a rejection that my limited mind finds difficult to...
