Lamp post amongst a sea of triangles
by hsvhoon

Comment:
The lamp post gets lost in the sea of triangles. I would have scored this higher if the lamp post was featured and you found an angle to shoot that would show at least 2 different hues of trianges.

Sailing Angles

Back to bump and comment: The image size is under what is allowable for DPC challenges. With a larger size (640 pixel) and a bit more contrast and saturation, this image would have a lot more pop to it. I do love the composition.

Wild Iris: God’s Chemistry

Back to comment: Sorry to say but I don't feel that flowers fit the challenge description very well. Even if it did, there are a few technical issues with your entry. First, the image could use a bit more depth of focus so that all of the flowers are sharp. Second, this would have been a nicer image if taken at a different time of day. Since the sun in coming from the left, the tallest flower is casting a large shadow right in the middle of the grouping. If the sun was on the right, this shadow would have been prevented and what shadows would have been produced would have contributed to giving a 3-D effect to the grouping instead of causing a distraction.

Heat - Oxygen - Combustibles

Back to comment: A burning match definitely shows a chemical reaction; however, the subject has a very low creativity factor and the glare from the flame is very unappealing to look at.

Fishing Before the Storm

Hello from the Critique Club.

You captured a very lovely image that has a painting like appeal to me. As stated in your own comments, this image has no clear main subject and thus, left the voters little to lock onto emotionally. Because of that, the pile of sand at the bottom left becomes a substitute main subject to the viewer's eyes for a short period of time due to its size and brightness. This might have scored better if you had cropped out the beach at the bottom portion of the image and placed the dock and the finger of beach next to it about 1/3 up from the bottom of the image. This would have given the image a focal point of the fishermen on the dock and the beach finger with the dock and beach finger acting as leading lines. You might also consider darkening the clouds just a bit to portray the storm aspect of your title better. As is, the clouds have about the same hue as the mountains and don't look all that threatening.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

New idea!

This image is better than the other image with the same model. Even so, this is a weak subject for this challenge, as it doesn't relate to chemistry very well. In a more subject appropriate challenge, I would have given this image a 6 or 7 for the lighting and other technical merits.

I have an idea!

I like the other image with this model better than this one because the hand over the head looks really lame. This is also a weak subject choice for a chemistry challenge. In a more subject appropriate challenge I would have given this image a 6 or 7 for the lighting and other technical merits.

The make-up looks a bit overdone but the expression is worth a couple of extra points. Excellant lighting and composition. Bumping to a 7.
