Alyssa C- Dad's Pitstop Diner

This was taken on a Cannon Rebel SL2 in Northern New Mexico. This is the place where my grandad and dad used to stop and eat when they were on their way to their elk hunting spot. Edited using the Fade filter first. After that I enhanced the color so that the old red roof would have more contrast against the white paint of the building. This photo could be better if I could see more color in the surrounding trees that are framing the diner.

I like this photo. It looks very rustic.I think it would of looked cool if you the exposure was a little more bright to bring out the red in the diner. The subject of this photo is really noticeable and good. This photo looks grea

This is a very cool picture. I like the old vintage vibe it has and the story behind it. The light for the picture is truly the best. I also like how you left the trees in the picture because it gives it more of a antique vibe if you know what I mean. For me, it really feels like I know the diner and how the atmosphere in the diner was like. I really like this picture. I would for sure hang this up on my wall! good job!

I really like this photo because of the vintage and antique feel of the image I also like it because it reminds me of the outdoors because I love the outdoors. The mood I see and feel in this image is smooth chill and relaxing just feeling like chilling and looking and exploring the area. I think the photographer succeeded in telling the story behind this photo it used to be a well kept and fun restaurant and overtime things fade away and turn old.

I really enjoy this image! The soft lighting seems to touch everything from the trees to the building and gives it a more dilapidated but well-loved feeling. As far as the framing of the trees goes, I think if the building was shifted more down and to either side, that a more active image could be created. I do, however, enjoy the contrast of the white building and the dark shadows under the trees. To be honest, I really think this photo is a keeper. Yes, more could be done to create a more eye-catching picture, but the history and sentimentality behind this building makes it something worth hanging up on the wall.

I really like the muted brown tones in this picture with the pops of red. It's very sharp and easy to tell what's going on. The trees frame the diner nicely. I think it's great that you have a story behind this photo- and the vintage look helps to tell it.
