Tired Motherby
pidgeComment by fotomann_forever: ::: Critique Club :::
As requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
My first impression of this image didn't say mother. But, you mentioned if was a shoehorn, so that's not suprising, huh? We're all guilty of feeding that addiciton.
Composition:
This says really good snapshot to me in composition. Nothing compostionally interesting, but it's a lovely pet photo.
Subject:
I pretty much summed it up in my first impression, as you did in your comments. It was a shoehorn, thus subject isn't very strong at all.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
Focus: Dead on. Doesn't get much sharper than this.
Light: Again, good. No distracting shadows. No blown highlights. Everything is good.
Colour: Wonderful, warm sepia treatment. Very natural feel.
To grow its vote?:
Quit feeding the addiciton. :-) We both know you are very good photographer. If you're at a loss for ideas, try some google searches, maybe you will see something you'd like to try.
Summary:
You are better than this photo. Please don't take my critique as harsh, I'm only wanting to inspire you to look beyond the family pet when you are lacking ideas. I'm looking at your other images now and you have some beautiful work.
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
