Good day! You're the recipient of a "critique club" critique! So feel free to take this with a grain of salt :D
First Impression: The colors do make a strong first impression - I happen to like saturation. However, with the HDR, I feel that it's flattened the image out a little too much. I think it would have benefited from a little more contrast.
Composition: I like the composition--I like the choice of not including the entire tractor. I would have been curious what it would have looked like including the front wheel, but I do like your choice of composition.
Subject: Very good choice of subject.
Technical: As I mentioned, I would have liked a little more contrast to give the image a little more interest. Also, I feel that the steering wheel being soft is distracting. I liked the shallow depth of field to blur the background, but with such a prominent placement, it feels a little awkward having the steering wheel blurry. One other consideration: you might want to play around with the crop a little. It might be a stronger picture if you cropped down from the top--the structure in the upper left corner tends to draw the eye without adding much to the overall image.
Final thoughts: Fun shot, nice colors, good choice of subject matter for the challenge. Some adjustments in the contrast/cropping might strengthen it. |
