Hi from the Critique Club.

Composition: I love the composition in this.The teddy at the left with the baby forming a nice diagonal in the frame. Great.

Technical: The DOF seems to be nicely on the eyes but given you editing steps that may be an illusion. In any case, the eyes are nicely done and the background is very nicely OOF. There is a slight grain to the image which I'm unsure if I like or not. The border is a bit think for my liking but thats just personal preference.

Feel: I really like this shot, other than the border. I can see why it scored as it did as DPC is not very baby photo friendly. This is one that would look nice hanging on a wall. Great work, like the rest of the portraits in your profile.

PM if you have any queries

Hi from the Critique Club!

Composition: The first thing that strikes me here is that you have broken one of the rules about composition and you have put your subject in the middle of the frame. I guess you did this so that it is "framed" by the two industrial buildings? I don't think that was needed. What would be better is to have the car to the left so it looks like it was driving through the shot.

Technical: The illusion of the car on the pipe is cool. For DPC it isn't so obvious without reading the notes. I suggest you imply this in your title for the voters eg: "You take the road, I'll take the pipe!"...or something like that. The lighting feels a bit flat, some added contrast may help the shot. If you have photoshop try playing with the Levels and Contrast adjustments on each image and see if it makes an improvement. Other editing packages will have equivalents.

Feel: The idea of the car on the pipe is cool but the overall feel of the shot is a bit flat.

PM me if you have any questions

Composition: You've done a good job with the composition as the subject is not centered and yet the whole frame is being used.

Technical: The DOF feels a lot shallower given you used f/5.8. This isolates the flowers well but also gives us more OOF elements than we'd perhaps like given the subject. I also feel the grain in the image is misplaced.

Feel: This is a nice flower shot but the OOF elements don't work for me.

PM me if you have any questions.

Nice idea, I wonder if a portrait crop with the rock cut off midway wouldn't have been a better composition?

I find the border a bit too imposing

This would be a great shot if the lights had more definition
