Excellent shot, even though I hate the word synergy.

Critique Club review:

Hi Haja,

At first I wasn't sure if the photo fit the challenge, but I'm also thankful for having the a camera and shooting shots of whatever makes me enjoy the fun. The shot fits the challenge.

The shot, in your opinion is rubbish. Well, I see positive aspects along with negative ones. So, lets look at some of the positives first. I liked the coloration and what you had in focus is excellent. The "C" is nice with the sharpness of the grain above it. The coloration, goldish, is real nice. Your cropping fits the subject well.

Now for the improvements. I think your downfall was the focus. I think it would have looked much better if you'd had the whole name in focus. The cripness of the "C" was really nice and the other letters in this sharpness would have increase the interest by quite a bit. I think this is really the only negative think on your photo.

As a whole, yes it wasn't real interesting or inspiring, but it gave you a chance to give your thanks, I did the same thing with mine. So we we met the challenge well, didn't we.

I hope this helps a bit.

Merry Christmas

Van
