09-10-08 – Orange

Well folks, it seems my Fark-fu has been erratic at best. Since I actually have a number of different possibilities for this weeks theme, I thought I’d offer them up to the Fark masters for a critique. Be brutally honest.

Thx.

I like the pipe (color jumps out at you)& the boat (great mood)for what my opinion is worth.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m torn on the boat pic. I also like the mood it communicates, but I’m just not sure its Farky enough.

I’m not a master, but graphic artistically, blue+orange is a go-to color combination. The pipes image has this, but compositionally, it seems too symmetric or something.

I have a couple of others I haven’t uploaded yet, but these are the most interesting I think

Pictures of photographic equipment are always fun, but the earbud is the bomb…

I wish I had a picture of John McCain at the Republican Convention. He looked like a carrot person.

LOL!!!

Reminds me of a girl I know who went on a “carrot” diet and turned bright orange.

Wish I had a picture too!

When my daughter (in the picture ) was around 2 all she would drink is V8 splash… She turned Orangish

I sometimes wonder about what percentage of ‘orange’ in the shot will make it qualify:

I think there’s enough here, even though there’s more blue:

This is sort of “variations on orange”:

And I’m waffling on whether there is enough orange here:

Your calls?

Absolutely enough orange in all of them. And I’m a sucker for early Ford V8s, though I’d wager that one doesn’t still have a flathead in it.

OK, I can’t help pitching a question out this week too. I’m on the fence about two Koi shots, one of which is abstract and sloppy and another which is clean and high contrast.

I was also all set to post one spiky orange fruit but have a co-worker that likes a a different shot of the same plant.

Feedback is welcome, no need to censor.

For the fish, I like the clear and high contrast one because you can see the variety of colours of the fish and the movement of the water. I have no preference for the fruit.

A question of my own:

When I was in the Netherlands I came across a fountain that had the water coloured orange (presumably for Euro 08 ). I am unsure how to crop it to get the best effect. The photo was taken with the primary subject as the person standing next to the fountain (who doesn’t want to appear). I’m tempted to concentrate just on the orange jets, but the building in the background is pretty cool (though not orange).

maximum portion of photo without the person
possible crop 1
possible crop 2

I shudder to think how much orange colouring was needed to get a colour that vibrant. 🙂

well as I was looking I came across another possibility.. I haven’t had this many choices in a LONG time..
