Nice bokeh, should've kept this for that challenge, not sure if this is really sad.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

I think this is both imaginative and effective - especially within a challenge that didn't make it easy to achieve either.

I like the ambiguity of the foreground chips and I really like the darkness of the whole piece - in fact I think that's the key to the whole shot, lose that and it would be much more ordinary.

I have to say though, your image didn't convey notions of space-borne chips but rather like a dim low sun rising above an ocean casting weak and early light onto the crests of waves - the foreground blurry chips forming a blurry foam of surf. That's a lot to convey with a few chips!

Good job.

Greetings from the Critique Club. You requested an indepth critique of your image and here it is:

Ah! The much-discussed Weston entry. You probably already got all the critique you need, so I'll keep this short.

The subject as such would have been great for Weston. I love that cracked hole in the front of the shell. However, the image is painfully out of focus. Also, there's a large black area at the top that is just empty space, so the composition could be tighter and better composed. That said, the BW tones are good.

Having made this mistake myself when I first started here: if it's out of focus, don't submit it - you'll get hammered. Unless of course, it's one of those type of challenges or you you've mastered the art of blur.

Cheers,

Alicia

Edit to add: Congrats on the Brown!
