\"bad\"
\nDuring reviews in my workshops we discuss what keeps some images from working better and how they could be improved.
\nHere’s a list we compiled during my recent Iceland workshop<\/a>.
\nAvoid these thing and make your images stronger.
\nLack of Focus (Not Deliberate)
\nLimited Depth of Field (Not Deliberate)
\nMotion Blur (Not Deliberate)
\nChromatic Aberation
\nNoise (Not Deliberate)
\nPosterization (Not Deliberate)
\nLack of Shadow and\/or Highlight Detail (Not Deliberate)
\nColor Contrast Between Elements Not Strong Enough
\nLow Contrast Light
\nCropping Seems Accidental Rather Than Deliberate
\nDistracting Elements on the Frame
\nAlmost Centered (Neither Centered Nor Significantly Off Center)
\nToo Many Competing Lines
\nShapes Merge Becoming Unclear
\nShapes Rendered Without Volume (Not Deliberate)
\nToo Busy (Complexity Lacks Structure)
\nSimple Subjects With No Counterpoint
\nSecondary Elements Distract From Primary Elements
\nImage Enhancements Call Attention To Themselves
\nText Competing for Attention
\nText Creates Unintended Commentary
\nGraphics (Text\/Images) Not Integrated Into Image
\nCliches
\nInsincerity
\nWhat else would you add to this list?
