did you try cropping to the upper right? I think the sign and lightning lose significance with the darkness framing all the way around it. I maybe wrong. Just a thought.

I disagree. It adds to the image in my opinion. Its the light in the center of darkness.

this photo is friggin awesome. nice colors and i think the quote on the sign is very fitting. good job. the entire series was cool mostly. i didn't like any of the ones w/ me in them. i was kind of split on the toy stuff too. they looked really good but having toys as the subject was kinda random and i thought took away from the photo. the orange and broken light bulb were badass. still, the shots with which i was impressed the most were the coke spray and the last couple ones with the spilling glasses. i'm not sure why, probably because they're commercially viable. overall, good series.

i think the best shots you took were the ones you took time to think about and you weren't distracted by your friends: water drip w/ flower, light bulb, your pours, and the lightning shot.
drop tank is weak, you need to clean up all that shit in the background. i also would have rather seen your rescue idea for drop tank.
i know you don't like to plan things out- but personally i think you are a better photographer when you do. i've been watching you over the years and i can say that. no more half assing!

You need to do something with your template man! It bothers the crap out of me to see your horizontals squeeze into the right frame.

Most of your shots in this series are boring to hell. But I understand, I've compromised with deadlines of school assignments.
Few are exceptionally well done.

My favorite thing about it... To see your style in colors and composition really come through in your photos again and again. Your images look and smell like Dan! haha

You know you can always count on me to give you the most honest and harsh critique Dan! Peace~
Oh! And you need to spend at least 1/10 the effort of this to work on your Photopic! Lazy ass! And don't give me it's ALL Max's fault shit! :>

this is a message to everyone except dan.

don't buy an action rpg for his b-day on the ds. if you do i'll kick your ass! well maybe not, but please don't buy the same thing as me.
