Before really getting into the photos, I love the ball with the stars in it and I think that’s a really cool choice of subject matter! In the first photo, I really like the tone shift from the original to the edited version. I do wish there was maybe some more contrast between the darks and lights and I think you might be able to play a bit more with the natural vignette effect that is present in the original photograph. As far as the second photograph, what I feel like is lost in the edit is just how bright the light cast on the wall is in the original. The edited version feels a bit on the flat side in comparison, so I would definitely mess around with bumping up the brightness of the light on the wall especially in contrast to the dark door, which I love and would not change! In the third photograph, I think you could bring up some of the shadows in the door so we can see the groves present in the original photograph. But over all, you can definitely tell that light is the subject in each of these photographs!
I definitely agree with Annalee, the photos with the ball with star cutouts is a really cool subject. I also liked the edit for the last photo set. All the other edits went from a warmer tone to cool tone and the switch from cool to warm was nice to see in the mix. My suggestion would be making the black and white images a bit more dramatic with playing around with the highlights and shadows. I think they could have a bit more intensity to them. I also liked how you cropped the last two images and it allows us to focus on the subject of the images.
Hi Zoe. The images where the light is coming through the door are the ones that are beginning to work. They do need to be made stronger through better processing in Lightroom, but this is pretty easy to accomplish. Currently the edits feel too timid and like you're holding back. Don't be afraid to give them a punch or pop during editing and don't forget that you build structure through editing. The other images are as successful because they are lacking in subject matter and structure. Good Luck!
