Difficult Lifetime

*Critique Club*

I go in to get a Critique Club image to critique. This is the second one. Many of us (including me) feel like we have a lot to learn compared to you. But how many times have you heard that? I am going to critique this image like I do the rest and if you have any questions don't hesitate to pm me and cuss me out. Ok on with the critique.

When I first looked at this image and many other images of seniors they all seem to tell a story of a life lived and this does just that. I love the effect on this image your now trademarked grunge look. The lines on his face are perfect and the fairly new Budweiser hat goes along very well with this image. The look in his face says it all to me. The only problem I have with this is it looks as if the top of the ear is slightly off on focus. I would like to see it all of him in focus. Overall I really like it. I think you have captured a moment in this long life and should cherish this one.

Overall you have a nice image. With the title I wonder why you didn't crop closer in to your subject. You have very nice color and have done a good job by stopping the motion. I don't like how half of the house is cut off. I think it would be a lot better without the house. The black border is a little big for my taste but doesn't take away from the photo itself. Focus looks to be spot on. You do seem to have a few blown highlights in the lamb. Overall nice job with nice bright colors and a photo that is pleasing to the eye.

Now this dock is much better imo. The golden color really offsets it. The beams of sunlight are marvelous as well. Keep that A80 around it seems you really know how to use it.

Dock on Blue Water

Very nice shot. The only problem I see is see how the dock meets up with the horizon on the right. I woulod raise or lower the POV if you have another chance to shoot. Either way you have a nice photo. I also love the calmness of the water here.

The trees seem a little blown out from the sunlight. Maybe just shot at the wrong time of day. I like the clouds and a nice blue color in the sky. Maybe play with curves in photoshop if that is what you use and try to tone done the overpowering brightness of the sun to some extent.

Very nice work with the contrast. I like the deep blue color in the sky. One thing that bothers me is that tower in the back. But you can't move towers. I really like how the rings pop.

Very nicely done. I even like the original you posted. I like everything about this shot. Congrats on 11th place. Should have been top 3 IMO.
