not enough sharpness and contrast for me

 

[Michael]

If low contrast and a soft look is what you were after, great job. What I do like is the majority of the poses, nice creativity, well done...

 

[Walter Rowe]

Very nice work. I love Brookside Gardens.

The pictures are great compositionally but I agree with the previous comments that they lack a little 'punch' (i.e. contrast). I personally would prefer a bit more vibrance.

Thanks for the comments, I had forgotten to check back into this thread.

Thanks--I think the pictures are sharp (at least most of them), but I didn't process them well enough for that to come out. I take it that your comment about contrast is about post-processing as well, I do need to work on that.

Thanks for the comment. Honestly, I wasn't going for that look, so I failed. As noted above, post-processing is definitely not my strong suit.

Very nice work. I love Brookside Gardens.

Thanks, I love it, too.

Thanks for this, too. I'm glad all the comments are in agreement, so I know what to work on. I think (but correct me if I'm wrong) this is a post-processing issue. I need to spend more time on this to get better at it (and I already spent a ton of time on these pictures).
