Z, A, H, I'm guessing?

Very nice. The cropping of the images is what really stands out to me as defining what letter it is, it makes it very clear.

The only one which confuses me is the "h," and that's only because of the bottom half - there is an opening that looks to be an "a" shape.....which is what I saw first.

I think they all work well. Maybe crop in a touch more on the A to take out some of the unnecessary brick area.

Josh said...

Really nice. I like the overall tone of the pictures.

Adream said...

these look great sean...nice decisive cropping.

right now they all have a consistent feel to the lighting...as you take more you may have to play with color or try black and white but these are all very successful.

two quick things to watch...
aspect ratio. you have two that are consistent...one that is not.

the H has a small a at the bottom..i saw the a before the H. perhaps you can up the contrast?

I personally like your Z the most. At least, I'm hoping that's what it is. I also like how all your images seem to have this gritty urban feel to them. Perhaps due to an overcast day? I don't know if I'd crop in too close on the A, because I like the perspective created by the windows moving upwards.

I like the theme

Now I see the H in the last image, but at first I saw an A at the bottom...you could highlight the H to bring it out

The "A" might be a little more interesting if you positioned it a little more to the left. Right now its pretty centered in the frame.

Allan said...

Awesome "h." I really like the gritty feel of these.

Braden Lawrence said...

Looks great! The only problem I can see is that the background has about the same amount of contrast as the letter itself, making it look flat. Perhaps you could Photochop them to stand out more?

These look very good, I like the consistent lighting, and slightly washed out colors. I also was a bit distracted by the bottom "A" form on the "H" picture.

the A and the H are my favorite, i really like the texture and the colors in the H. the A is nice because it signs are a common thing, and we dont even notice the forms they make. the Z is less interesting because i've seen that many many times before.

Jen said...

i didn't even see the "a" in the "h" shot until i looked at it again, but not that i know it's there it does distract. a little photoshop could fix that though! looking good.

i like the lighting and tone of them. they have a very dramatic feel to them and work well as a series.
