Got Milk?

Nice knock off. I really like his expression and the lighting on the model. The biggest problem is not being able to see the bottom of what appears to be a glass in the top right.

Mouse and the cheese, cute. I hope you cleaned it afterwards! Lighting is a bit uneven, perhaps a bit too harsh between the lower right and the shadows. Good shot.

Interesting idea. I have a problem with the milk, it is hard to rell it is there except for on the leaves and the red rose. A little too much white perhaps.

Great focus and and I really like the angle although it looks unatural because of the lack of tilt of the milk. The only real nit is the number of glares in the glass. It appears that you needed something to soften the lights i.e. a sheet or reflector. Good shot.

Greetings from the Critique Club };-)

Initial thoughts
Easy to critique as I really like the shot,definitely meets the challenge, a bit too much sky

Composition/ Content

The thing that really scores well on DPC is the "WOW" factor and this shot has it: the rainbow, the ice and the way the light hits the falls all contributes.

Background
I don't know whether or not you tried this in landscape vs. portrait orientation. It seems like it may have worked a bit better and you could have cropped more of the sky this way. But there may be something distracting just around the falls that you worked to keep out. Really good anyway.

Camera Work - Technical
Focus is excellent for the difference in light and shadow you have here.

Digital Processing - Technical
I noticed that your comments really pointed to removing some of the sky in this shot. I was one of them and still feel that may have been the best way to improve this. It would have taken the horizon line off center and brought the top down nearer to the interesting clouds above the falls.

Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a nine. I think that it meets the challenge well and the only real improvement would have been less sky. That may have led it to finish even higher than it did but the competition was really tough this week. Great job, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

Very nice B & W shot. Lighting is excellent. I hope I don't get this for critique because I'm not sure I could suggest anything to improve it!!

Interesting take on the challenge, I like it. Very crisp focus. I hope you didn\'t knock down the sign yourself!! I wonder if this would look as good or better in a landscape orientation.
