You mean comments like these?
Constructive huh? I don't care much for your other comments; they are of no relevance to this thread, but it shows that your other comments do not put you in any better stead than your comments on this thread.
You may have yet to read this, but it gives no grounds for unconstructive comments. There is a fine line to walk between giving responsible critique and coming here to put others down.
Sorry nigel for the OT.
i'd have to agree that "helios descent" is too much a caption for this picture.. it feels like it's "one of the pictures" taken during a trip to the cenotaph and later attempted to be given a name (and a cool name too in that sense)..
i think the sun added a balancing interest to the picture.. but it's position is slightly off (will good timing have helped? not sure).. and the cenotaph is not exactly symmetrical as well (think it's not easy to take perfectly symmetrical shot of it)..
and i'd have to DEFINITELY agree that Catatac has NOT added any value to this crituque..
I would have to be impressed that you have used this name, Helios. It's more known in Greek and Roman mythology that the god of sun is Apollo. If you wish to use this caption, you may have to do a more detailed write up to give viewers more background. I can relate to what you are trying to portray in your picture. With the wide base narrowly up just like the Incan pyramids shape that also prays to the Sun god.
great composition, especially like the little lens flare, feels like saying "beam me up, Scotty".
like the way you placed the contrasty highlight/shadow lines at each side of the bottom corners.
That's the Civilian War Memorial.
The Cenotaph is the one between the Padang and Esplanade..
Thanks, however i would like to ask which suits the theme better? and did i break the rules of third?Been asking myself this question, but no answers came from my head. LOL
On a side note, after looking and further analyzing the pic numerous times, I think i broke the rule of thirds. May i know if i have broken it? :dunno:
