beautiful snake, but the overall lighting is harsh and uneven with bounces off the wall that are distracting

Parade of Lights

Greetings from the Critique Club:
What fun to capture the old one all decked out. There is just enough of the Model T showing to pull this off, although it would have been nice if you could have brought it out a bit more. The lights are erratic and emphasize the motion of the car, as does the lighting over the wheels. The sepia tones are very soft and and serve to hold the decorative lights in importance. Overall this is a grab it while you can image and as such is very pleasant. Thanks for it.

Bottled Water

Greetings from the Critique Club:

This was an interesting and challenging image that you set for yourself. Overall the image seems lifeless and the soft focus underscores that rather than enticing the viewer into the image. Perhaps you might have thought of a different angle, maybe something additional to the water to add interest, or just moving in on the bottle and choosing something in the lable to focus on in order to add clarity about your intent. As the image is it lacks any real impact and the background and shadow are dull and flat. It also appears that the image/bottle is tilted and that, too, is a distraction. Another approach to correcting this would have been different lighting, coming from a different angle and diffused a bit to keep the softness but add a little zing. Thanks for the image.

nice composition and color, good clarity, has a feel of embossed notepaper though - not quite a wow

"Buds"

the textures and shapes are very good - the whitish spot just left of the bottom bud is a bit of a distraction but otherwise a fine image
