Skinny dippingby DogAngelComment: Looks a little too cold for that!!! Nice composition and I really like the B&W, nice tonal range - shame you didn't get any clouds on the day. 8 |

Mysteries of the Orientby cushlaComment: Looks like a Cushla 'Duotone King' photo to me!
Strong composition and nice crop, the sun/moon? looks very effective and I think the pink foliage suits you quite well. 10 :) |

A Critique from the CC
My first impression of this photo when I saw it in voting was that it had a huge wow factor and everything needed for a ribbon winner and congratulations on your top ten finish. I had this photo rated higher than every photo that finished above you. To me this has everything put together nearly perfectly. The tremendous Dof field and calm water truly give a serene feel and I also like it because it does not feel like you were forcing the viewer to look at orange and and blue like so many other entries. But I feel this can be a bit of a double edged sword on this site because so many voters want to see exactly what the challenge details are that they may knock a point down for the brown boardwalk for example. As I read through your comments received during the challenge it always strikes me that this is a contest and not an art exhibit, meaning that people want to see certain things in every photo, the rule of thirds and such.(In your specific case some voters commented that they would have liked to have seen the horizon moved up or down abit.) Eventhough I believe those can be broken, many people maybe eager to give critiques or generally feel that without seeing these rules it is an issue to be marked down on, they will take off a point here and there. So as far as composition goes I think it is amazing and I feel like thats how I would look at the scene if I was there. My only other question is why did you not use the full 150 kb size limit for your photo? I looked on your page at your other entries and they all seemed closer to the max allowance. Lastly as far as your title goes I noticed a few didn't think it was interesting enough even though I thought it fit well. The only alternative I could come up with would be "Complements of Sandgate Bay" or wherever the name of this specific pier is. I hope this was helpful and if you have anymore questions or think some of my comments are completely wrong and want to let me know about feel free to PM me. Personally I thought this would ribbon and finding things about I didn't like was very difficult for me. |
Great critique, much appreciated. |
