Rust Paintings

Comment by Neuferland:
Greetings from the Critique Club!

IT'S A FISH! That was my first reaction when this shot came up, the nut being his eye and the rust pocket next to it his mouth, LOL!

This is an interesting shot overall, it makes me want to stop and look, trying to figure out what you are trying to say. But the dull colors of the black overwhelm the shot in the end and it makes me rather sad, not sure why though. Maybe because I keep seeing the fish and he's not smiling, I just can't quite put my finger on it.

I tried using my magic envelopes and tried different cropping angles but that didn't work either. Maybe if the contrast was bumped up just a tad to really make the rust colors pop out and the black really deep. Capturing the fly in the shot was just luck, the fish is getting ready to eat! I'm sorry but I just can't get that image out of my head now! ;)

Not sure how helpful this was but if you do make any changes to the shot, please let me know. Thanks! ;)

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

Interesting picture, but just seems a little soft when you examine the rust detail. I think the composition would've been more powerful with the white dot in the frame. Other than that, I really like it.

Alright, Zorro. Except for the 2/3 shade, this is a 10. As it stands a 7.
