Brothers in armsby
Aussie_BlueyComment by ericwoo: Hey there from the Critique Club
First of all, congrats on a top 35 finish, as well as adding to your collection of 6+ scores.
Camera Work/Technical: Excellent, crisp focus, dead on white balance, well exposed and captured. I like the depth of field use that you chose here, as it serves well to isolate your subjects off of the background.
Lighting: Nice use of natural light here to expose this capture. It looks like a cloudy day or early morning as there are no harsh shadows or over exposed areas in shot.
Composition/Content: You captured a great moment between these two animals, and your high score reflected that. I thank that the composition is a bit too centered, and that mom is distracting as part of the background. I understand that it is impossible to script nature, but if you'd had just the two brothers in the frame, and a bit off-centered, I think your score could have been a half point higher.
My Opinion: I like it, and I think that it meets the challenge well. Excellent choice of cliches to use to create a nice overall image. I would liked to have seen some compositional changes, but the score is still well-deserved.
