two patterns, maybe more :-)by
gocComment by HBunch: *Critique Club*
In response to your request, here is your in depth critique from the Critique Club.
While this certainly meets the challenge of patterns, I feel that it's lacking visual appeal. It seems to have a very flat tonal range, and nothing that really stands out to me as a main focus of interest.
Being a photo of snow (thank you very much for the photographer's comments, it makes giving the critique much easier and accurate) this might have been difficult to get a great exposure. The photo in itself seems greyish. There is not much black, and what my eye says should be white, is actually grey. Like i said, this might have been difficult simply due to the fact that it's snow.
the patterns are nice, but the pattern needs something to back it up. Maybe color, maybe contrast.
Focus seems a little soft, but again, that could just be the texture of the snow. Hard to say. It seems noisy or grainy. Was this taken at night with flash? The lighting seems uneven and as Maya stated does fade away to the left.
I wonder if you took the photo from a lower angle if that would add some depth. Worth trying anyway. Maybe try a shot in the daylight from a lower angle. Or maybe a shot at night using a colored light source to add some color to the photo.
Something to play with anyway. I hope you find this helpful. ~Heather~
