Critiques on Duncan's Text photos

One of the pictures that really caught my attention was the old Coca-Cola can that looked old and rusty something you don't see very often.  He claims it to be over 90 yrs. old which is remarkable for the condition it's in. He found in Big Ben's national park. The color texture of the Coca-Cola name is still well intact and the very good close up of the can shows the shallow depth of field he had with his appeture probably pretty high. This picture would have been better if there was no one else in the background even though they are blurred out it probably would have been better if they were not there. I think he got angle on the shot with eye level that makes this pic somewhat more interesting than standing up. Overall this picture has good choice of text imaging which was needed for the assignment and good choice of zoom.

The second picture is with the wall at UTSA pin up board with the Take one sign on it. This picture would have been better if probably taken from the front to show exactly that was to be shown on this message board. Again another close up pic with a possibly mid-range appeture since you can still see the other items on the boards. Very good vibrant colors as well with plenty of fliers that have text which was required once again but more visibility on the signs i still believe would have made this shot a lot more fulfilling.

The third picture I choose that I liked most was the picture of wire that shows the good  low angle shot and the choice of TEXT that was put on the picture thru photoshop. I can honestly say that this picture looks like a poster or something someone would use for an advertisement. You can see the low faced angle with zoom that has everything beautifully in focus with great detail in the reflection of the water puddle.  Has good balance and well composition over all in this picture very symmetrical balance.  Overall this is my favorite picture for some odd reason but i feel it just gets the message across with the water next to the wire even though it's not exposed but put two and two together and you get the idea.!!
