Friday Photo Critique is our weekly community project, where we publish a photograph submitted by one of our wonderful readers, then ask you all to offer constructive feedback on the image. It’s a great way to learn more about photography, express your viewpoint, and have your own image critiqued!
Quick Ground Rules
- Play nice! We’ve deliberately chosen photographs that aren’t perfect, so please be constructive with any criticism.
- Feel free to offer any type of advice – composition, lighting, post-processing etc.
- You can also link to photographs that you feel offer a great example of this type of image shot exceptionally well.
Without further ado, here is this week’s candidate for Friday Photo Critique!
The Photograph
Photo Details & Inspiration

- 22mm
- 1/800
- f/5
- ISO 500
I did a car shoot with a friend's BMW. It was a sunny day with some clouds at the science center. The sun was around mid-noon with clouds helping my lighting angle. I upped the exposure rather than flash and the patterns of the floor and windows made a nice scene.
This was the first shoot I did where I didn't expected the outcome of the area and lighting to match exactly what i was aiming for. The original already looked good, but after I edited it and got this look I was more than pleased. Since this being my was first unexpected right-place-at-the-right-time picture, I decided to frame one of the shots and hang it up on my bedroom wall. Photography is awesome!
