Good use of the fisheye to create foreground interest. Both the sluice doors as well as the boulder work nicely. It's a pass so on to your next one.

Nice, a pass with 8mm.
Very important lock, in the old days, it was built in the year 1887. Its a monument now. Now its only used by jachts, because there is a new lock, the Princes Margriet lock for navigation under load, up to 135 mtr long. In the link, you can see my roots, I am 6e generation off skippers. So far I now. http://www.spanvis.nl/Alle%20foto's%20van%20Lemmer/Sluis%20Lemmer/index.htm I hope you like it. No reaction's please, it's in the assigment page.  Greetings Willem.

GlassEye, there is certainly foreground but imo not enough interest as a foreground subject. So pls. try again.

Pagelli, Thanks for your review. I've just re-read all of this tread and I'm just having trouble understanding what is required. I'll give it some more thought and another try. Mike |

@GlassEye: Mike, the key feature we are looking for in this assignment is a foreground element that 1) provides the viewer with context to imagine himself/herself present with the photographer and 2) invites the viewer to explore the scene beyond the foreground. The foreground element should not obscure or distract from the background, but compliment or help explain the scene as a whole. Good use of this technique will also add depth to an image. In most (if not all cases) the foreground element and the background will both be in focus and a relatively wide angle lens and high f-stop are suggested. Hope this helps.
Cheers... Brian |

Thanks, Brian. What my brain is getting is that this is about having two, related subjects in one shot. The "A" subject is highlighted by the "B" subject in the foreground. The "B" subject should relate to and lead to the "B" subject. Does this make sense outside my two ears? I have a literal way of thinking that is not very conducive to being creative. It is often a struggle for me. Oh, well. We've all got our 'issues'. Thanks for your response, Mike |

 You've got them, too? WRT A/B, If A is the scene and B is the foreground element (and "The "B" subject should relate to and lead to the "B" subject." [sic] has too many B's), then I think you've got it.  Cheers... Brian |
