This week's "G" photo
The RAW Dawg whose photo was published in the Globe's "G" section today was Caitlin Robbins of West Newton, whose photo from Cape Verde was praised by Globe photographer Dina Rudick when she did a portfolio critique of Cait's work last month.
Here's how the page looked in print:




Congratulations Caitlin! How many copies did you buy?
only 3 heheh - the lady at the counter was like, are you in the paper today or something?
hey Cait, welcome to the RAW Dawg club...that is a great picture...
Caitlin, my in-laws loved your picture. Is there a way we can buy a copy
Hi Teresa - sure! E-mail me at caitrobbins@gmail.com
Congrats on getting published.
I wish I'd seen this in print. Online it has a slight blue cast in the mountain range. Plus it lacks pop in the colors.
I also think the pic would be better if cropping were applied. I'd start by pulling down the upper left corner until the left edge is at the green boat and the upper edge is just above the mountain range. The main subject starts with the beached boats. Then draws your eye to the activity in the middle. Then to the distant boats and the mountain range.
I also wonder what the composition would look like if you'd lowered the camera. In capturing views like this, I try to remind myself to change my perspective by moving my body. Not just in and out but up and down as well.
what a wonderful picture! it reminds me of a great Van Gogh with the colorful boats in the foreground ... lucky you to have visited such a beautiful place.
This blogger might want to review your comment before posting it.
