Henry S - Pueblo

The title of this image is “Pueblo”. That means village/town in Spanish. This was taken on March 28 while me and my friend, Tovar, were in Mexico during Spring Break. It was taken with my iPhone 6s. I edited by adding more contrast and adding a film grain filter from that new NIK add-on that are now in Photoshop. I don’t know what I could do to make it better but I’m open to ideas.

I really like this picture! I really like the way you were positioned to take the picture and I really like the lighting and how it is sort of gloomy, and dull. I really like the way you centered the image and you really did good getting a lot of the village in the image. i really like tis picture and think you did a good job.

I really like the mood of this image. It seems desaturated and has sort of an HDR effect, which i think works well with the scenery in the image. The film grain effect makes it look aged, which also works well with the little village. I like how you framed the image with the roof of the house and the sky. I think it could probably have been higher quality, but most of that probably comes from the grain from the effect and the fact that it was taken on an iphone.

Henry, interesting picture! I generally criticize people for really muted color palettes, but in your case here the lack of saturation really show how run down these Mexican towns are. As well, the film grain you added gives the picture a rougher look, which once again serves to further the theme of the shot. Also, the dog crapping on left continues the whole "run-down city" theme well too. The overcast sky also furthers this too. I honestly have no complaints as of yet. This looks like a potential Kendrick Lamar album cover, which is to say, its pretty good.

Very nice, it's very dark and gloomy which fits the "I'm sad and I want to feel worse about my pity self" attitude. It would be better it was even more dark and gloomy.

Great picture ! I like how the exposure and the cloud cover make a perfect, detailed lighting. The road creates a leading line and a curve that takes draws the attention from the rooftops in the foreground to the mountains in the background. The contrast between the dark and light areas is really good and I think the saturation level is perfect. I really like this picture and it almost tells a little story just by the setting and the environment shown.

Nice photo. I like the depth and focus of the photo. The natural lighting is really good too. It is centered nicely and I like how there is something going on in every part of the photo. There's good use of leading line with the power lines and the road. I like how it turned out and wouldn't really change anything except I might despeckle the photo. JC-HHS

I like this picture! I think the fact that it is dark is very good and helps create a very nice contrast. I think if the saturation was increased a little it would help make a bigger impact on the composition over all.

The picture looks really sharp and everything seems to be in focus. I like the way you used darker colors in this photo to give it a gloomy feel. The mood in this photo is captured really well and overall I like this photo.

Really nice photo Henry. I really like the depth of field on the grand landscape shot. Nice job adding the grey clouds and keeping the color composition the same throughout the picture. The filter is a nice touch and it gives a gloomy type of look. Great job!

Herny, amazing picture! The depth of field definitely works in this shot. It seems as if everything in the picture is completely focused. The photo overall looks balanced to me. The entire image looks dark in all the right places. The sky is also dark but lighter than other areas and I seem to love that about this image. I just really like how you edited this photo Henry, and I would not change a bit of this image.
