Hi from the Critique Club,

Nice shot, an interesting shot.

The greens are very vibrant here which is a nice contrast to the little darkness that peeks out. I think that this shot would have been received better if you had cropped right into the weed. There is too much weed here and needs to be less.

In post processing, boost the contrast this will give it some more depth, even playing with the neutrals in selective colours would have given you a totally different picture.

You did really well for the camera not being a macro

Hi from the C Club

you asked for your shot in the abstract macro to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.

First off, great shot. It isn't really macro enough to be called a macro though. Maybe really zooming in on the twisted metal would have achieved this. Also, your first peg is not in alignment with the other pegs and makes the eye go up and down, which does not help the composition.

Your POV is good, and your DOF is good. The only thing I would have done differently in this is the crop. Post processing is great.

i put this in my mouth !?!

Well, I had no idea as to what it was even with reading you title. To me it looks like planks of wood, so very well done on this shot! I have this a fairly high score in the challenge.

I think it is a great picture, I like the black and white of it, i like your details and sharpness. I really don't think that there is much more you could have done with this shot. Maybe a little more sharpening to get those amazing grooves really to stand out and a tiny crop of the left hand side to get rid of the blown out white on the prong. Bar that it is a brilliant shot well done

I like the vibrancy that you have going on in this shot. Your lighting is pretty harsh in this shot as you can see from the bounce that is going on in there. I think that a closer crop all around to make a sqaure crop would have focused us more on the marco that it is . The center is a jumble of abstract and should have been concentrated there.

even though your shot is full of colours it is coming across as fairly flat, I played with it roughly and this is what i got now i used brightness and contrast, selective colours in black only, adn then repeat and flip. I am not saying you have to do this, but it gives you another idea of what could be done iwth your shot to make it more abstract and with a feeling of depth.

First off, fantastic colours, the warmth and depth of the colour really brings out teh thoughts of crisp mornings, apple pies and warm fires. Your lighting is very good as well.

I think that the only nitpick that i have is that it is such a powerful image that the bottom being out of focus throws you off. Would have liked to have seen that as tack sharp as the rest of the shot it. Also the water drop, it neither makes the shot worse or better, it is one of those could be coudnt be there not going to hurt the shot.

Overall , very pleasing shot, well done

HI from the C Club

Love the back ground on this shot, the red really sets off the silvers in the dvd player. I thinkt ht the reason that you scored fairly low was that most people dont think of this as an appliance but more along the lines of electronic.

You have a good DOF and the POV is not one normally seen here, you are sharp and have clean cut lines.
