Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.
First Impression - the most important one:
I think we had one of these when I was a kid .. the same light blue colour as well. You have mentioned you are disapointed with how you did .. I took a look at what beat you out .. and they aren't other rusty car pics .. on a whole they are shiny new crome things ...
Composition:
I really don't mind this composition .. take a look at those that did better the new ones showed parts and the old stuff seemed to show more complete images ... this to me has a good balance .. I would have like slightly more at the top with the badge hitting horizontal thirds ... try different crops again .. and see if any work better that is the way to learn.
Subject:
Meets the challenge with excessive force!
Technical (Colour and light):
I like the natural light and I love that the crome is not blown ... technically a good "solid" shot.
To grow its vote?:
Try different cropping and learn to read the minds of the voters ... we all have trouble with that ... lots of the time.
Summary:
Don't be disappointed ... it takes too much energy ... just go and do better next time .. and if not then the time after ... I love your portfolio .. and your work .. keep it up!
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
Kari
