Bridge of Steel

Looks more like she is trying to hear something, than trying to move the bridge. Background is a little bit bright for me. But the picture still works very well. I like the composition and pose.

Lighting is a little flat. Would liked to have seen more of the insect. Still, very interesting entry. 8

Interesting take on the challenge. I like the way the chopsticks dissapear into the sun.

I'm wishing the sky wasn't so washed out. But otherwise very well done. I like the texture on the walls a lot. Only other gripe, is you chopped their feet off. Small gripe at that. I gave you an 8.

Very well done. I especially like the colors and the message is very well carried by the wreck of the boat.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Are saturated and hues are natural for the most part. It may be an effect of the lighting or processing, but there is a patch on the forehead that came out a blueish green.

Brightness and contrast: The scene is a bit bright in a couple of areas, most notably the top of the hair on the left side of the image. (Doll's right) The scene is back lit, and could have benefited from fill flash or more reflection to brighten the face of the doll. Contrast is moderate, not overly done.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is sharp, depth of field is hard to judge because of the use of the Lensbaby. I would liked to have seen all of the doll's hair in sharp focus.

I'm not sure what is going on at base of the doll, in the front of the frame. The soft focus, combined with the bits of blue color there, have joined forces to make it look like ink stains. The parts that are on the pink are of the dolls clothing look like the doll has been soiled. Some adjusting of the collar of the doll would have helped also.

It's a shame that the heart shaped aperture didn't show up more strongly in the image. The parts that I can see were very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work with this tool.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: N/A image is monochrome

Brightness and Contrast: The darkest areas are nice and inky black. Very nicely done. The brightest areas lose detail, and that would bring it down a bit for me.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is excellent. Depth of field is very good. I have some qualms around the "scar" area. I can't quite tell if the apparent softness is due to processing, depth of field, or just an optical illusion. I'll go with the latter, since I seem to be the only one who sees it.

I'm a little put off by the white area. Compared to the rest of the image it looks almost like a fungus. There are angular bits, but then the whole thing seems a bit soft. The angles are, to me, a bit of a jarring contrast to the drops; to the point where they compete with each other.

I really like the texture of the drops and the surface of the tomato. If the white part were more muted, or not even there, I might even like it a bit better.

As is, a nice creative take on the challenge, and I think it should have finished a bit higher in the voting.
