"EASY IN GREEN"

Comment by fotodude:
the focus is nice the glare for the flash is to strong, and i think the socks were a bad choice for the subject to whare.
also would like to see a little wider frame not square and would like to see the chair leg or what ever it is in the upper left cornor be excluded from the framing.

right idea tho just needs refining.

Too much shadow - try using natural light from a window

That is such a great shade of green, love to see with a studio-type background rather than the carpet, oh ... and white (or no) socks.

Sharp image but I don't like the shadows behind the shoes.

Hello Donna -- Greetings from the Critique Club.

I see you enjoy impressionism. This photo is a study in light and fractured bits that make up the whole (similar in that way). Congrats on the honor of the "favorite"

I socred this one above average as I think you've captured a unique view - an abstract in two-tones. I agree with another commenters -- adjusting the levels my have improved the light play. As for the color tones - a blue would have sent a stronger "icy" message. The warmer tones leaves the image ambiguous (flower/ice crystals) and therefore more is asked of the viewer.

As for the lower ranking (although 5.11 is nothing to cry about) I can only speculate that since the focus is soft, the image abstract, and no color to direct the eye, one might see this as a photograph with no main subject.

Please pm me if you have any questions. I enjoyed looking through your entries and hope to see more in the future.

Regards,
Theresa

This is really beautiful - but a contrast bump would help it heaps.

Nice photo, I'm wondering if blue/black tones would have brought out more of a frost effect.

5 - Have looked at this for a while and cannot decipher if it is ice formations on a window or some type of floral arrangement/foliage. Hoping it is the first, will be back PC to see. If it is the first - my 'criticism' is that I'd like to see more definition/sharper and perhaps the toning tweaked more to enhance the tonal ranges. Possibly also either more of a square frame, or else vertical may have helped this. Also, don't understand how that bottom left area could be black/blue after this image was converted to sepia/duotone. Again, will be back PC to see. Like the potential. Again, if this is some type of ice formation, perhaps a blueish tone may have enhanced it further as well (or even the illusion if this is foliage) - but your call obviously on the choice of color.
