The more I look at this picutre the more I like it. I like the soft lighting and the colors. I only wish that whatever you are writing didn't look so much like scribbling.

All Fall Down

Critique Club for All Fall Down by Konador

Composition - I like the composition of this photo. The dominoes are falling right to left which seems more natural to those of us in western society. The captured motion is good, which meets the challenge. I like that the dominoes are falling slightly uphill. I think that a slightly more dramatic angle would've been acceptable, and perhaps a bit more appealing. The only thing I could recommend to this picture is that the picture be taken a little further back to show the fallen dominoes, the falling dominoes, and the still standing dominoes.

Background - Basic black was a great choice to show the contrast between an ivory subject and aforementioned black background.

Camera work - Motion is well depicted by this photo. The standing dominoes are very clear as they should be and the fallen ones are a little blurry, as they should be. Camera work is very well done.

Processing - I must have your secret. The color of the dominoes is great. I'm sure it took awhile to get that mastered. You probably had the help of some PS expert too as I have some of these dominoes and they are quite yellowed looking. Bravo!

Overall - First impression is that this is a very good image and it has achieved what it set out to do - depict motion with falling dominoes. The idea of showing the already fallen dominoes just came to me as I sat here looking at the pic. With a little more 'room' in the picture, you could show multiple strings of dominoes falling and vary the patterns a little too. But that's another picture another day. I like this one Konador, you did a great job. - Inspzil

PS - If I type "domino" or "dominoes" one more time I'm throwing the keyboard

I think this is a great photo, but I would like it even more if the subject of the single rain drop was a larger part of the overall image... nice work :) - setzler

The drop in the foreground is very nicely in focus. The round white spots in the backgorund though distract in my opinioin. They are too close to the shape of the drop, and some of them are quite near to the drop. Otherwise, definately looks to be untouched by man. The lighting on the subject its self is very nice, and the angle and framing/cropping are also good. Good luck in the challenge.

Overall I like this a lot. I think if I had to come up with a criticism, it would be that it may have been stronger had the branch been a little more "dramatic" with maybe a little bigger drop of dew, or something to make it stand out a bit more. As it is, it seems like "just another branch" that happens to be in focus. Still a nice shot :)

After seeing the "My worst shot" thread in the forums, I just had to come and take a look. This has to be one of the greatest cases of someone learning from past results that I've seen on this site.
