A rose with two-lips

Well a big hello from the Critique Club!

Hi Parrothead.

Firstly let em say i hate selective desaturation ;D - but in this scene it is attractive to me for why i do not know.

I think your choice of angle is interesting and enhancing whilst also being creative. Many people would choose to shoot this portrait a turn to the right, but you have opted for a more lying down position which i think really adds interest to the shot.

The reds in my opinion are a little too dark and saturated - but that is down to personal taste.

Focus and grain is good, but i would like to have seen little more detail in the body area.

Overall i feel your final score of 5.56 is about right, if not a little lower than it should be.

Hi stuipdcat

I think you have had a decent idea here that has not reached it's full potential. The focus and depth of field are excellent - you have cerated a soft yet interesting scene in which to view.

The plants look delicate and natural which I always think is a good sign on flower / plant shots.

The areas that let this down are exposure -it look s slightly underexposed by a stop or two. And also the cropping.

If it were me, i would crop into the main flower a tiny bit more, and also adjust the exposure to really bring those greens and whites out.

I feel your final score of 4.5944 is below what it deserved and feel many worse images finished higher than yours.

Flowers And The Killpecker Sand Dunes

Well a big hello from the Critique Club!

Gallatin, I think you have done very well with this shot. A lot of expanse here which can result in either a blank result, or a boring picture.

Yet you have filled the area well, and with your use of aperture - you have created a very big sense of depth.

Your location body wise is good, and composition pretty OK - yet i feel the scene lacks a certain snap about it.

I feel the sky could do with darkening slightly, by using a poloriser on your camera you can create gorgeous deep blue skys which in this case would work wonders. In photoshop you could; just use th burn tool or use selective color changes.

That aside a very good effort and worthy of the final 6.09 you received.

Whooo! What an awful shot - I can't believe people post such crap on here. 1

I am, of course, joking. This is great stuff. I love black and white figures. Looking at the top 2/3 of this image it is a clear 10 from me -my gripe is with the lower 1/3rd (just under the navel) I feel it doesn't work and isn't necessary to have the female genitalia in the shot - her legs are bent over each other protecting herself from the camera, which in turn has made them extra thin in width - this looks odd with her body - almost as if she is tapering out of the frame.

I would also crop in on the top a bit more -overall a tighter crop I feel would be better.

Having said all that -this image is one of the best in the challenge and it very well done.

Best of luck

JP the stoopid one.

Burning Desire

Well this photo is string which is a good thing. The pose is a bit too much for my quaint British tongue. I think it would;t be so bad if the model wasn't';t holding her own leg up as if stopping herself from going toilet.

with that and the fact that she is outside in a corridor really gives me the impression that she is bursting for a wee.

now that is probably the weirdest comment you have received, for it is surely the oddest critique I have given, and the strangest feeling I have received from a photograph.

That aside she looks almost awkward and uncomfortable.

the lighting is creative and brave which show your artistic flair, but I think it is a Little too string for this photo.

The focusing is bad i am afraid. That i see no reason for.

Overall a gallant effort, brave and forgoing. but it doesn't have many traditional aesthetic qualities for me. POV is very good.

soft and innocent is what i get from this photograph - a closer crop wouldn't hinder this photo by any means, and a touch of contrast would certainly help it.

That aside there are many positives to be taken from this - well done and I look forward to seeing whom created this.
