Good idea but seems lifeless out there. Maybe that is the idea.

A work in progress

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a wonderful image and a great idea. I love the work you put into it, like you said, all that work for what? A funny picture!

I noticed in some of the comments that people thought it was a mushroom but my first impression was that it was a tack made out of tacks? Hope I'm right! ;)

I like the use of red in this shot also but the two different reds where the board meets the table almost ends up being a distraction. And the line isn't quite level or crisp which does end up being a distraction in the end. The overall set up is well done with the exception of the few crooked lines on the left but when you're rushed, whatcha gonna do? :) The last tack on the table is also very well done but there seems to be some kind of reflection or white shadow or something above the one on the far left, another minor distration that could have been cloned out but again with your time constraints. :)

One last thing, a bit of levels adjustment to really make the red stand out, it seems a tad dull overall, the shine on the tacks is great but the rest is just there, not really adding to the shot, actually taking away a bit from lack of oomph value. Hope that makes sense.

Again, great shot, nice idea and good luck in future challenges!

Mother Nature

Comment by Skip:
well, this sure beats the version of mother nature in an lazy-boy, nursing a sixpack. oh, wait, i confused her with father earth. splendid image, if a little blown out on the right. the softness is appealing. hope this does well for you. good luck!

selective desat is fun but I don't think you needed it on this shot

Not a bad capture, but I am not at all liking the choice of selective desat. Maybe desat all but skin color or just the flip-flops (especially if they were both wearing them). Best of luck.
