CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE

COMPOSITION
At first, I did not really like the composition of this shot. I felt that it included too much "stuff" and could have been framed differently. After looking at it though, I decided that it did have some fairly strong points. The "rails" on the boat give a strong outline to the picture. As a result, the viewer tends to focus on face, more than the sunset, which may or may not have been what you intended. The subject is placed well in the frame, but I find myself wishing she was looking the other way, but I don't know if that was possible. Overall, I think the composition still feels slightly off balance.
TECHNIQUE
It seems a touch dark on my screen, but when I look closely, I can make out the details of her clothing, the seat cushions, etc. so it does not seem to be badly underexposed. I think a bit of brightness on her face would have helped a little bit. It is well focused, and I really like how you have captured the colors and the textures of the water.
OVERALL EFFECT
After getting over the shock of having the subject seem to be looking straight at you, it is a fairly effective shot. I am not familiar with the song you have chosen, and I have never been to Egypt, so I will take your "word" on it there. :-) The colors give it a very soothing feeling, and the water looks calm so that is also relaxing. Good work. |

I would rather the person in front not have been there. Nice soft colors which look really good here, very mood setting. Love the pink cast to it all. Nice one. PTL

Interesting! You picked a pretty time of day but I think it detracted from the people for they are way too dark and shadowed.6.
Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo |

| I love the colours of the sky and the softness of the water. The focus and depth of field is very good. The picture has a calmness to it - very nice. |
