Next year one of our assigned subjects in our camera club is inside out. The theory behind the subject being inside a building and getting an image that shows details, of both the inside and outside. Here I was afraid to walk into this old house because a lot of these old houses had systerns under the floor and I didnt want to go for a swim, so Instead by taking 9 images of various exposure I was able to blend all 9 together to get the outside, the inside, and the outside thorugh the inside again. I want to know if you like this image or not?

Not!

Does not seem at the right angle or something.

Sorry Paul, it really is not working well for me. The tree on the lefts seems to distract. I also have no sense of depth, it appears as if everything is on one plane or one dimensional. I can post an example of a senior I shot last summer that might fit your criteria and give you some ideas.

Nada. I think you picked a poor subject to work on.

Thanks for the Replys guys. I personally wasnt that in love with that image myself, there was just something I couldnt put my finger on, My wife liked it and so did some co workers but I wasnt really sure. You guys helped me decide to 86 it. I have another angle of the building to work with yet maybe that will turn out. It was tough the day I was out due to some really strong winds and even with my new super duty wonderfull mafrotto sticks and ball head it was still to windy to get were I actually wanted to shoot.

Interesting subject.. I'm going to disagree with the posts above and say I like the subject and the depth of the front door.

Here's what I don't like:

For me, the compositional violations of this photo is lines and avoided mergers, and balance. The light from the trees cast downward at a 45* angle and the plane of the board runs horizontal. These lines contrast each other giving it a funky appearance.

In regard to avoiding mergers, I can see the tree cropped out, which could put you on a solid third.

Lastly, the balance has me wacked out. much like lines, the sun coming through the trees is contrasting the wood. I wonder if you shot this at dusk with some flash stobes or on a cloudy day where you wouldn't have such funky shadow or lighting issues, if this subject would pan out for you.
