From the Critique Club:

First off let me say that I like this shot. That said...

What I like: Overall composition is nice! You have the model on a third line and the rope going down to the boat almost on a third line. You have awesome colors going on. Great exposure to stop the water and good DOF making for an image with depth even though there is no other objects to add to the depth.

What I don't like: This really could go in both categories (like/don't) but the lighting is a bit harsh on the subjects back. It' has great gold tones but you're just a touch blown out in that one area. I know that this isn't practical in this situation, but a touch of fill light to bring out the details of his face would really rock here, but what can ya do...

Why didn't this score better? I think I would have to agree with shannylee13 when she says that it's a touch to snap shot like. What does that mean? If you don't have an emotional attachment to the subject, it just doesn't ring a bell with the viewer. I also think that it was a little bit of a stretch putting a kid playing with a toy boat in a Transportation challenge so you probably got a lot of DNMC votes.

Yours

i like the lighting here... the way it lights up his back and his hair. however, for me, this picture is a little too snap-shot-ish. 6

Not sure what food it is but I think this image is what the challenge is all about. I've seen several nice photos but not many of which I would consider abstract. This one fits to a T. Nice job.

hmm, Food? looks like a grater of some sort. I'll be interested to see if you have extra comments to sure? In any case, this is nicely done :)

this is abstract to the point that I can't tell what it is on alny level. This is not a bad thing of course. Judging just on the appearance, I like it. Well done. 7
