For additional comments . . . consider also, if you will . . . is the green floodlight distracting?

Dave Arnold did it too (and I saw Hugo's) . . . a discussion (lengthy) ensued in the Donor only forum . . . http://www.usefilm.com/Photo_Forum/22/1012683/
which had many views aired. It remains a tool available when needed and does have merits . . . while NOT asking has it's own merits too.
:) - Naturally, I will continue to pick away . . . I mean, seriously critique . . . your work as my little heart sees fit!! LoL!

I saw Hugo do the same thing on some of his posts (asking specific questions) and I loved the idea. I'm one of those people who don't usually know what to critique or how to critique it so the questions are perfect for me!

Thanks Sheila:
The questions idea came from conversations with others on UF and seems to do a good job of directing people to the things you really want to know. Often, people are not sure what to critique and this seems to guide them in opinions and gives them something to say when they're unsure how to say something -- like "Sheeeesh is that boat blurry!" By asking . . if they feel that way they can safely say so . . . knowing that's something I'm interested in.
There is a down side though. They may not mention something they would have otherwise pointed out because it wasn't asked. And of course, some feel more comfortable just pointing out what they like . . . which is fine . . . I try to invite that too.
1. Thanks . . . I agree with you on that point. The one worker is actually about to leave (his day off) . . . hence the unparked truck.
2. Ok
3. Good call. Unfortunately . . . cropping the truck would definitely throw off the balance of the composition. The lights at the top of the mast (several of them) were absurdly bright caused the top crop and forced the Pano setting. Most of the light during this shot was coming from two Night Sun Floodlights . . . One Green Light of some sort and the rest of the lights made no difference after them . . .
This shot feels to me like the back of the boat, but it's the front. The tow boat is on the other side and I agree with you . . . wanting to see more of the boat is what caused me to circle around to the tow boat (stern) side.
Thanks for all your comments and time . . . I appreciate them (as you know).
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

I like the idea of the questions.
1. I think I got the feeling of "work" more in the first post only because you can see movement with the blurred images of the workers next to the boat. Here the one worker seems to be watching the boat.
2. I don't think it's too blurry to convey the feeling of a commercial fishing vessel. I can clearly make that out, even with it blurred.
3. I like that this is a panoramic. I really like the nets laying on the dock and the colors given off by the lighting. I wish I could see just a tad bit more of the boat and I'm not sure about the truck. I feel like my eye is drawn away from the boat and to the truck. IMHO :)
I really like the series and I think it's a great idea for this project! Great job!

I like the image of the guy standing at the quayside in this one Doyle and there is a lot more going for this composition over the original. However, the boat has lost a lot of it's identity this time around. There is definitely a hugely successful composition trying to reveal itself and you are on the right tracks in this experimentation my friend. Well done to you and I applaud you for your exploration of photography. I am on my usual weekly catch-up following my work. My very best wishes to you as always Doyle......Ray

Thanks Jessie . . . interesting point about the blur . . . door (top) and mirror also seem blurred. It's a tad distracting and I'm thinking maybe I should clone in some sharpeness (which should be relatively easy to do given the surrounding area). While the truck was running, the subsequent shot shows no similar issue . . . unless there was motion I'm not sure what could have caused it . . . but I was seriously tri-podded at the time and there was only a little breeze . . . though there were others about the dock. Hmmmmmmm . . . anyway, glad you liked it - I'll be moving off to the next blurry project soon . . . I think.

doyle - i really like this one, much more than the last one. i think it is because there is much more stillness, with the tangled nets at the bottom. why is the pile of white through the truck window blurry? it seems that it is on the dock...
interesting series!! i like them. great experimentation!
