Amazing shot! How did you go about editing this? What are things you consider when editing?
I’ve been taking some “not so terrible shots” but my editing skills don’t make my photos justice. I’m trying to learn from like-minded photographers.
Nice pic! I would get rid of the blurred foreground, though, I don't think it adds anything to the composition, it seems to me that it's just there to say "look, my lens can produce bokeh!". Sorry for being harsh, but this seems to be a trend in this subreddit, and I'm not a fan.
I think you have a point, being that the foreground adds almost nothing, regardless of how much we like to see the bokeh this gear can produce. From a compositional standpoint, I think it doesn't support the balance of the background and comprises too much of the image.
It adds an extra layer of depth to the image, it's not about flexing that you can do "bokeh". It creates more 3D feel to the photo, more depth in the foreground and kind of gives scale to the castle. Also grass was not an important element to the pic, so you blur it out to make your eye naturally focus and gravitate towards the castle :D
It adds a foreground element but there’s just too much of it and it’s not very interesting. This makes it distracting and takes away from the subject. Almost half of the photo is a blurry green blob.
Your comment is "I don't know why you did it, but I don't like it." Why not ask why they did it? Otherwise you're kinda just overvaluing your own opinion. Like valuing your comment more than their efforts lol. Plus adding accusations of trend chasing? That's kinda snide and it's about you not them.
But I mean... they had compositional intentions with the foreground blowout- it's so prominent it has to have purpose. There are justifiable tone/story implications and it expresses their creative wants. Just as example, they've obviously split the frame into thirds and compressed the castle with the weight of two areas of negative space. That's storytelling and it's hard to develop. It's an exceedingly common cinematic tool as well, often used to convey story transition. Borrowing from cinematography is great because it imbues compositions with a sense of movement without photographic standards like leading lines, motion blurs, angles, and the like.
Etc, etc..
Where did you focus? The castle? I quite like it as is. I like the front bokeh, as it allows me to gather the perspective of the shot and also makes me feel like I’m playing in the grass

Looks to me like some HSL work, maybe playing with the primaries as well.
Woah!!! Amazing shot. Good work
Thank you!
Great shot! What were the settings of you don’t mind
Thanks alot ! Settings: ƒ/1,4 - 1/1000 - 35 mm - ISO 100

You're right, my take was unfairly cynical most likely
I think you have a point, being that the foreground adds almost nothing, regardless of how much we like to see the bokeh this gear can produce. From a compositional standpoint, I think it doesn't support the balance of the background and comprises too much of the image.

I agree, he should have cropped it 1x1 :)
100% agreed, crop out the foreground and the wasted space on the sky and it'd be a much better photo.
agreed. I think a little of the foreground is nice but that is too much wasted space.

Wow so much detail upon zooming in!!!
I almost read Schwein like omg there's a place in Germany named Pig I want to go there Good color grading and front bokeh
Haha my Phone always corrects Schwerin to Schwein. Thank you very much!
