Colors, Lines andTexturesby banmornComment: This is a very strong and artistic visual rich in texture and color. The most fascinating aspect is the chosen angle which brings outs the strength of the lines, creating an almost tunnel of color effect. very well thought out. |

Stripesby melismaticaComment: from the critique club:
These compositions fall inro the abstract realm. Most important with these images are the colors. The form or lines add interest. personally, I would have repainted the green because it attracts so much attention on account of its almost chartruse quality. Of course, replace it with what. Well, I would consider a subdued red to match the mesh or a dark blue.
The composition is very nice with the vertical lines running up and down and it is obvious that you have a sharp eye to find these interesting patterns. The next step is to cash in your artistic eye by replicating the concept to move the viewer. There are several ways to do this. For example: you do another take after sponging with water every other stripe or hosing the area with water. Most important is the play with light, straight light, reflected etc. In other words the pattern is your base, what can you possibly add to this image to make it stand out. Being a "blue challenge" I would have also considered a black light.
To conlude, you have a very good knack for finding unusual patterns and you need only expend the extra time to make it a unique image, not one that the next photographer can come by and easily duplicate. dan |

A Natural Twistby melismaticaComment: From the critique club:
Very nice composition because it starts center bottom, sweeps the left then coils to right and heads back and away to end at top right. This is a universal pattern associated with the serpent, the coil and certain bacteria.
The strenght of this picture is the unindentified article. My wild guess is that its texture appears to be metal. If it is metal I would guess it is the high tech barbed wire...yet I see a varying width which brings me back to first base. So the interesting shape and unknown item make this a very interesting study. It is a nice composition.
The shallow dof is the only major draw back. If we can easily identify the object, then the dof is not critical. If we can't, then the eyes want to examine every inch of the item and the viewers battle is quickly lost the moment they begin to study the image. It is more like a let down. Wow, what a shape? What is it? Let me see...uhmm focus is already gone past the middle coil on the right.
While the image is nice as is, this is an ideal subject which may be enhanced with a minor backlight, this would have added more mystery.
To conlude your idea was very nice, composition above average, but the execution of the quality, mainly the dof is the culprit. Always envision the shot in your minds eye and then do what ever is technically required. Normal shots and distant scenes differ greatly from the close up. A camera in auto mode, will never make this decision for you, so it is up to you to take care of this matter. The easiest way to do it is to make a test shot, check it in computer and then go back to finish.
