Dragon Horse

Greetings from the Critique Club!

So we meet again, Msr Marcel...*muwahahaha...* Lighting and comp are ok in this shot but not spectacular. As did your commenters, I see the dragon-winged horse in the thumb - the 'horse' head facing left and the tangle of roots in the upper right for wings, and the lower thirds making the body - but at full size it's a bit tougher to see. I agree with Irene in using a bit of dodge and burn to accentuate the primary shape, especially in b/w when it really does come down to shape and form. The clouds in the bg help to add to the atmosphere but they may also have competed somewhat with the driftwood. Glad to see you shot from down low, maybe next time try shooting up from even lower and see what you get.

Meantime keep up the great work!

Greetings from the Critique Club! A very close relative to this image, also taken by you, took the blue in the recent Eclipse challenge - even the titles are almost identical - and honestly I have to admit that I too was feeling a bit 'eclipsed-out' when I saw it. Yes, it is a fabulous capture, and I appreciate all the hard work and skill that went into getting it, but perhaps too much of a good thing and the voters acted accordingly? Sorry but I really have nowhere else to go with this.

As always, feel fee to PM me,

Susan

great shot but I would say it was more about the bikes than the furniture
