That 3rd photo still seems... off. Espically with the Exif data saying 300mm and f/45

Never thought this theme would produce such gorgeous pics

Bit much b+w for my liking.

That's because I took it from location 3, which is up in that room. I got fairly close to the window and took the photo through the little floral design on the window frame.
I chose f/45 because I had it zoomed in so much, and it just looked the best. Plus anything lower made the flower design go away more than it already did.
As far as it being 300mm, that's just a product of my slight OCD and having to make it a round number.
In fact, probably 99% of my photos are taken in increments of 25mm. Well, 15mm is as low as I go.

i think the avatar and the enzo were miles too far apart

Your valuable comments please

There should have been more brightness and contrast to expand higher quantities of attracted eyes.

Any feedback, or was it just too dark?

[Eric Demory]

Too dark?
​

Agreed.

 

[Boabdulrahman]

Any feedback, or was it just too dark?

​

As Crooooooow said, the lighting was not the best. If the Enzo was positioned in a more lighted place, it could gradually improve the picture. Other than that, I thought there were alot of shots with the same kind of angle and yours unfortunately wasn't the best

Any feedback please? bit disappointed, thought this was one of my better shots.​
