Really cool photo, but for a challenge called alternative medicine, I'm looking for something based in reality, not fantasy.

I don't get the connection to alternative medicine at all. That being said, it is a nice image, I like the "costume" and the model NOT looking directly at the camera.l

Irish Alternative Medicine

Overall not a bad photo, just too small to do it justice. Take a look at the excellent tutorial on preparing photos for contests in the learning section here on DPC. That helped me a lot! I can't get to detailed in my critique because I can't see the details in the image... Keep trying and working on your photography though, don't get discouraged. There is a lot to learn here on this web site and some great people to learn it from!

MY "alternatvie medicine"

Good idea, but, yeah you knew a but was coming.... the image is on the small side which isn't helping you, and your light and dark contrasts are too extreme. The wine and the bottle are so dark and the lamp is so white and bright. It makes it hard to find a happy medium in the photo. Your concept is good and the staging is nice though. Keep trying and better luck next time.

How is this alternative? Horror yes, alternative no! OK that being said and done, you do have an interesting artistic flair to this image, it was just entered in the wrong contest! :)

Nice image, but the focus on the male arm is too soft for my taste.

The foreground in this photo is too dark and the detail is lost. I would like to see more detail in the rock bridge.... Keep working at your images! Best of luck to you!

This image is too blurry and makes my eyes hurt. If that was your intent, then I am sorry. If that was not your intent, then use the tutorials and other resources available on DPC to learn from the great photographers on this site! Best of luck to you!

This image is too grainy, but I'm sure you have heard that comment several times already. Otherwise it would be improved with a solid wall as a background, the door is distracting. Keep working and your images will improve!
