Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are realistic

Brightness and contrast: image needs better lighting, lighting from below as well as on top may have been good option

Focus and depth of field: clean and sharp

its needs better lighting really make it pop but a great attempt otherwise.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are unrealistic and muddy

Brightness and contrast: image is a bit dark and uneven.

Focus and depth of field: you got some camera shake and at 1/15 shutter im not surprised.

nice concept that wasn't executed properly. you probably could have nailed a ribbon with this entry if it was sharp centered better during cropping and taken from a lower angle to accentuate the heart shape

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors look natural

Brightness and contrast: the image is very dark, maybe you monitor needs to be calibrated and it too bright, there are no black detail in the keys

Focus and depth of field: the image is clear and sharp

overall its a nice image and message, better lighting would have gone a long way here and maybe even a slightly lower perspective to see more reflection

nice concept, i'd like to see more of the image in focus but great b/w conversion with really nice tones.

great image. vibrant colors, perfect reflection. the image seems a bit off center and i wonder if you put the horizon dead smack in the middle with a wide crop if it would be better.

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB:
We try to give an indepth review of the image randomly set before us. If you find this review helpful, please tick the box that says so. then the Critique Club members feel as if they are really helping!

You nailed the Challenge with your vanishing point railroad track - and I"m glad you didn't get squashed by a train in doing so.

If this was my image, I'd probably go for more dark tones to go with the predominantly light tones you selected in processing. This would give the image more drama and make it stand out among the competition. As you know, there were quite a few train track shots in this Challenge.

More dark tones to balance the lighter ones and perhaps more emphasis on the cloudy sky, I think would have pulled this image from the nice mid-five score you received to a higher number.
