I like the repeating patterns, and the great textures in the ropes. Good sharpness and depth of field for f2 as well, but I guess the TG-6 has a small focal length. Well seen and framed.   Posted: 10/08/2025 09:53:43
Very well seen image. Excellent sharpness. The mid-range tones work well with this image. The ropes tied to the seven cleats are a pleasing repeating pattern on the one hand but each is unique on further viewing. For example, the ropes on the fourth and fifth cleats are connected and part of the same rope while the others stand alone. I wonder what the vertical sections of rope are connected to. Nice job.   Posted: 10/17/2025 16:47:57
An image with many leading lines especially strong in the black floorboards which take you along the line of ropes which are another strong lead line and which are sharp and well detailed emphasizing their texture. The overall tonal range is excellent. My only suggestion for improvement is to rotate the crop slightly to eliminate the small white band top left and the dark mark a third of the way up on left edge. I think this provides stronger framing and a tidier composition as per my edited version.   Posted: 10/18/2025 10:35:47
