I like the different shadow in this photo. The is too much negative space.

Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Nice simplicity and a generally good pic. 7

Critique Club Review

Composition: Excellent. One of the strongest features of the picture. The strong shape and placement of the sign is balanced by the unique sunlit, snow covered tree branches. Good angle of view on the sign.

Technical: Focus is good and the deep DOF works well here. I don't think you can control aperture on that camera but if you can, I'd be curious what a shallow DOF would look like? I think that the pic would actually be a tad stronger if you had used some fill flash on the sign. It still looks good even backlit and obviously the snow is providing a lot of fill reflection but these signs are designed to flouresce in a strong light and it tends to make them really pop. As it is, the tree branches are almost primary and the sign is almost secondary. Also, when I look closely at the sign, it seems as if the focus on the letters is actually a tiny bit soft, yet the tree is really sharp, as if your AF hit the tree and missed the sign.

Post-Processing: Looks good. The only thing that stands out is the branches look like they might be a tad oversharpened.

All in all a great picture that might benefit from a few small tweaks! Good job! :)

I really like how the lighting you used on this picture came out. I think that alot more intrest would have been created by focusing closer on the squares and elminating all the white space. Good Work

I really like this shot. How was this done? Is it a picture of a puzzle, or is this some kind of PS effect.
