A Mermaids Tale
by Judi

Comment:
**** Greeting from the Critique Club ****

Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes very creative.

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? A several people mention compositionally it would be better if the Mermaid were looking into the frame and not out of the frame. Reposition the camera so the she is on the right side of the frame, the rock is in the middle of the frame and the sun is in the top left. The sun in the center tends to dominate, taking away from the Mermaid as the focus.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes
- Good focus? Yes

Lighting
- Good use of light? Unfortunately, the foreground lighting (or flash) is over the top, making the rock seem like it's glowing, hence the comments about the fake look. It almost looks like a studio shot, except you'd never get the halo of backlit hair (very nice) like this if it were studio.

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast The colors in the sky, water, and in the Mermaids 'scales' are excellent.
- What is my reaction or feelings? Very artistic. You have quite an interesting portfolio. I'm keeping my eye on you. ;)

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? The composition is okay, but you missed an opportunity to get a better reflection of the temple in the puddle in the foreground. With the hazy/cloudy weather you really have to squint to see the temples which make this site famous. I do like the leading lines of the stones and path. There are mixed emotions about the blurry guy, and I share those mixed feeling. I usually don't like Blurred people in scenes, but this one doesn't bug me.
- Is there anything that should be removed? The top third of the image. Lose the overexposed sky and the temple stands out.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes.
- Good focus? The issues that commentors are having don't having to do with the focus so much as the length of the exposure. Bump it up to ISO 200 or 400 and you'll get much better reactions because your people won't be out-of-focus.

Lighting
- Good use of light? The lighting is questionable. The clouds are blown out, but the details along the edges of the path are lost.

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? I share the opinion that the viewpoint is powerful in this image. My eye keeps going into those clouds though. You may have intentionally or unintentionally wanted them in the image, but they don't help it.

Where is the focal point? I can find it. Needs some sharpening, too soft.
