Conjunction Grapefruit - Wood Lemon Squeezer

Comment by primabarbara:
you had a good idea for conjunction, the grapefruit looks juicy but it is somewhat "static" and the white area on the left is too dominant for my taste

Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

I like your composition and the colours within it. Whilst I can see why you have used this filter to fulfil the challenge brief I am no fan of these filters at all so I̢۪m not really in a position to give you an unbiased opinion. I much prefer to see impressionism done in-camera, a couple of options to achieve this would be either to use a slow shutter speed with motion blur or complete lack of focus to produce a soft dreamy effect.

Relies on a photoshop filter to produce the majority of its value in meeting the challenge: 2.

An appealing image that contributes well to the open challenge

Your panoramic study has some lovely colours and detail with some good pin points of light to highlight the foliage and in particular the bows of the boat. I like the detail of the boat with the lit bows and the thrust of the prop clearly evident it is moving through the water with some haste and determination, hence your apt title. The storm cloud sky is and essential and very effective element of the scene. Each to their own opinion but I have to disagree with one of your commenters I think this composition and crop works really well.

Overall nice image, but composition/frame needs some works.

Window Cleaning High-Rise Buildings

An interesting image that meets the challenge

Your high vantage point has enabled you to add interest by illustrating how precarious a simple task like cleaning windows can be when faced with a high-rise block. In choosing to do so you have made the building dominate the image and whilst the left wall is interesting this face is rather dull and has the effect of reducing the overall impact. Given that the left of the image is much more dynamic a more effective option would have been to compose the image with the end wall on the right and the cityscape in the rest of the frame still fulfilling the challenge brief. Thanks for your entry Marcel

I can see why this appealed to you, well observed Marcel. I like the concept and observation but the blue of that sky is just too dominant. I don̢۪t think you needed to include all of the building in fact by cropping out the top half of the image the message that the scene is past its best comes through much stronger, I̢۪m looking at this scrolled up to a level just below the gantry entering from the left and it works much better for me. Try it, see what you think?
