Covered with iceneedlesby
lastefComment by BMacD: Hi! Hereâs a comment from the Critique Club.
First Impression:
Very centered. The âPhillipsâ star in the screw âmarksâ the spot and keeps drawing my eyes. The top two dark corners were the second place my eyes went, before I focused in on the ice. The ice actually lead my eye to the top right corner.
Composition:
Background and the screw head compete for visual attention with the ice. The ice is not the dominant subject. Iâm assuming you wanted the ice as the subject and not the screw.
Subject:
I agree with your comment! I visited your portfolio, and saw some very nice pictures. My guess is that you didnât have a lot of options with this picture in terms of capturing the ice crystals. Good eyes to see this, even better, you had the camera to capture it! :-)
Technical:
More depth of field would have brought all of the ice in focus, or move the focus point back to one of the ice crystals. Lighting is flat, with no sparkle in the ice.
Summary:
The ice crystals are neat, and make an interesting picture, unfortunately, you entered the Best of 2005, a very tough challenge for this type of picture.
