I can't talk!by
AmeedEl-GhoulComment by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Initial impression: I gave this a 9 in voting and stick by that vote. Very simple and very terrifying, very much a nightmare and I do think it should have finished in the top 10.
Technical: Like that there is so much darkness around, leaves lots to the imagination; unfortunately that also means you got dinged in the voting. Composition very good, like the way the blue-white of her blouse is balanced with the red light. The pp seems perfect for this shot.
Artistic: Love the attention to detail, the makeup, the hair, the pose, the threads, the eyes rolling back in the head, everything. And the idea of being unable to talk is very strongly conveyed, even without a title you could've guessed what this nightmare was about.
A really strong entry, sadly the dramatic use of lighting didn't resonate with most dpcers. However, you can either shoot to please the dpc crowd, or you can (and imho) should, shoot to please yourself. Very good work, you've been improving steadily, keep up the great work!
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
