Interesting effect - It's like the car is stationary, and the sidewalk and parked cars are moving!

Good job making it look like a book cover! I wasn't trying to correct you, just pointing out a difference between American and British English. Both are equally correct, of course. Same thing with "Botanology." It is absolutely a word, you just don't see it in American English very often. Lots of differences. They're hard to keep track of. For example, in American English, punctuation goes INSIDE quotation marks, but outside in British English. *shrug* I'm just extremely jealous of people who speak more than one language at all. I, like most Americans, speak only the one.

The publication: in American English, the plural of "Leaf" is "Leaves," not "Leafs." Plus, it would be "Botany," in American English, not "Botanology."

ok. i was not in favour to crop the front wall.. I think every good photographer has to make efforts like you.. some time in hot,sometime in cold or some time even in rainy environments but if you get a pic as you wanted to.. then its such a great satisfaction..

Nice pic. Ya you can crop the pic but not that much. In my view you should keep the front wall in the pic else the effect of flight might be lost. Good luck.

Very nice I like how the motion blur on the wings give them a fluffy look. But I do think you should crop out the black window edge on the right, and if possible not crop so tight on the top.

avatar UncleJimmy

Author, not a bad job for learning. Very nice attempt. I see by your SBS, shot 2 and shot 3 look identical. In strong sun, try a properly exposed image, 2 stops under and only 1 stop over...might work a bit better to keep highlights from blowing out and get better shadow detail. Good Luck

But I have to agree with BeardedWorm. Color would have given more emphasis to the composition.
Here it looks like more cinder blocks than bricks.

You should forget about the vines, get a person or something for a subject and take this from a higher angle. and do in black and white.
