Dr.ConfuserComment by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club!
First impression: I didn't envy those who chose to enter this challenge! It truly takes guts and then some to try and make a subject with an intrinsic 'Eww' factor, appealing. I gave a 7 during voting.
Artistic: Nice poppy colours help to lessen the basic yuck factor. Looks like two coffee cups from the same place, a jacked-up power drink and can't quite tell what the last one is on the left. But seems to point towards a really souped-up society with no place to go.
Technical: Good sense of flow and leading lines with the straws and angles of the dumpster edges. Ambient light looks fine, and don't think we really need to see what's lurking in that back left corner now, do we? Minor nitpick is the straw on the right, it looks almost fake, but again maybe that's a reflection on society *picking lint from bellybutton*
Overall: For this challenge, a relatively easy shot to look at. The low score is I feel less indicative of your ability and just more an objection to the up-close-and-personal nature of this shot. Doesn't make it bad by any means, but doesn't make any effort to appear sanitized enough to appeal to the voters.
Feel free to PM me,
