Hello from the Critique Club!
Hi Leo,
First Impressions: An interesting natural history photo with a lovely colour palette that made me laugh. I voted this a 7, which means I was pretty impressed with it first time round!
Composition: This is one area where I think you could probably improved on. As it is, it is ok, but just sort of 'there'. A little more room for the bug to look in to would be one idea, also to have taken the photo with it angled slightly towards you rather than very slightly away from you. That said, it is a realtively minor quibble.
Focus/Sharpening: Both are spot on, and the depth of field is perfect with a gorgeous medly of shapes and muted colours in the back and foreground.
Exposure: Again, to my eyes, and on this un-calibrated monitor, spot-on. It may be that on a bright-screen monitor it may appear a little over-exposed.
Overall Impression: Having looked at this photo in some considerable detail, I still stand by my original thoughts. I am at a loss to know why it scored so badly, and can only conclude that some people find the subject a turn-off. Win some, lose some, I guess.
If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.
Regards, Sara. |
