At the Aquariumby
BebeComment by fotomann_forever: ::: Greetings from Critique Club :::
Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
WOW, at first glimps I thought she was looking at a painting. Then I realized that the painting included the subject with a fish about to bite here ear. LOL. I must admit, you made me have to stop and look again. A doubletake is a good thing.
Composition:
VERY strong, good use of Rule of Thirds!
Subject:
Strong, well defined, good use of Post-Process blur to achieve the DoF you wanted.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
Focus: very sharp
Colour: Maybe the flesh tones are a tad on the blue side, but it helps the "aquarium" feel.
Light: Love how it highlights her face.
To grow its vote?:
I honestly can't see a way to improve this photo. It made it to 17th place which is a good accomplishment. It's got everything a photo needs to ribbon. Interest, creativity, all technicals. Perhaps, bribing voters will help... LOL.
Summary:
I love it. One of the most creative shots in the challenge, definitely keep up this kind of work! That ribbon is on it's way!
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
