Portrait of a Super Bikeby
Dr.ConfuserComment by Garry: *** Critique Club ***
Dr.Confuser, while this is intended to be a critique of your image, let me say right up front that you've not given me much work to do! Honestly, this is a fantastic image, and in my unbiased view was under-appreciated by the voters.
I think you've composed this beautifully, with all tires, metal parts/footpegs, fairings etc exposed lovely. Exceptionally sharp and detailed, and wonderfully processed. Just love the color and saturation of the paintwork -- it really pops out of the frame!
I think Oliver touched on the only shortfall of this particular image, and that is the lighting. By the looks of things, it was one (maybe two) lights facing the bike which exposed the side of the bike perfectly. However, what would've made the world of difference is a fill light up above to light up the seat and console and mirrors which are coming through underexposed. Likewise, the front tire is disappearing into the background with most of the detail in the rims and brake disks. A little extra light to bring back the detail here and the kickstand too.
But honestly, that's all. A little extra lighting to bring out those details of interest and I firmly believe this would've been a 6.2+ score.
Hope this critique has helped some! Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss anything related to this critique!
Kind regards,
Garry
