About the Image(s)

This is the lobby of the beautiful fox theater in St Louis. There are so many different angles to take in the surroundings and details. Our photo club was able to spend time exploring. Settings: f/11, 1/6, 26 mm focal length and 6400 ISO (unfortunately set on automatic which I didn't need to do because I was on a tripod -used denoise)

Your focus, perspective and composition captured this magnificent scene beautifully. My only suggestion might be to try adding a vignette to bring attention to the front lion statue.   Posted: 10/03/2025 10:39:04

A good colourful image that advertises the theatre lobby very well and I'm sure the theatre would want this image for their promotions. This is one of those images where we could make different suggestions depending on what the image is intended for. For an entry into a competition I agree with David's suggestion but to promote the theatre the vibrant colours and depth of field are the important factors. For me, based on this image, I would love to visit the theatre irrespective of what show was on.   Posted: 10/04/2025 13:50:08

Quite a theater entrance, and a very nice capture of it. The colors are vibrant and the exposure is just right. I am not sure the vignette makes it stronger. To me, the whole scene is the subject, and the vignette emphasizes the statue too much for me. Maybe a more subtle vignette?
In the original, I see a blue cast on the doors at the bottom right, most likely caused by a different kind of light source, but it distracts me a little. And, it seems to create a bit of haze on the lower left quarter of the image. Maybe a linear gradient with a little dehaze and warmth would discharge it?   Posted: 10/16/2025 01:27:35

I agree, I was a little heavy-handed on the vignette. Here is a slightly less intense version and I desaturated the blue. Thank you for the comments.   Posted: 10/17/2025 19:16:53
