Out of all these photographs, I would have to say that my top pick would be the last one. I love how the light really pops! I will say, however, that the black gets incredibly dark so I might mess around with the brush tool to keep it closer to the shadows present in the original photo. I don’t know where the line is drawn in terms of retaking photos, but I might consider retaking the third photograph just because it’s blurry and I think if the shadow were perfectly crisp, it would be much more appealing. The second photograph makes me curious about what is casting such shadows, which I think is really intriguing! I would probably just up the contrast in your edited version because whatever the object is gets a little lost when you flipped the photo to B&W.
I'd have to agree with the comment above in that my favorite photograph is the last one. I think this is because light really seems to be the star of the show. A couple of the other photos feel like they may focus more on shadow rather than light. When editing maybe look at opening up your shadows and brighten then up just a little bit. That being said, I still really like the contrast you've created in some of these photos as it gives the images more of a punch.
Hi Julia. Only the last image has a strong quality of light. Continue to look for that kind of lighting and how it might interact with other subject matter. Think more about design and composition when you are framing your images and be careful of slower shutter speeds which will cause blurriness. Some of your images could be made stronger through more forceful edits in LR. Good Luck!
