londoneye 04, critique needed

AntiFruits · 17th July 2005

i took this photo with a point and shoot whilst i was in a car. i really like this shot with the tree branches and the man and the lamp post framing the london eye. but i'm worried that some might find it too cluttered. what do you think? any other comments would be appreciated too

just realised that the idea's somewhat similar to nemesis32's photo......

i feel it's too cluttered.

unfortunately the execution is not as good as nemesis32's IMHO

the clashing of the lines of the London Eye in the background, the lamppost and the tree branches simply make this too messy a scene. i'm not too sure what to focus on in the frame as well.

IMHO, nemesis32's execution was better. His photo basically had only two layers, the tree branches adding as the frame, and the tower being the subject. The two layers had different degrees of sharpness and detail, making it easier for the reader to separate the two.

Good try though. Hope you have a chance to get onto the London Eye, I think it is worth the 12 pounds.
