Mellow Yellow Mary Anne

Marvelous interest in the woman's face and clothing. Her face has a story to tell but I find that story to be overwhelmed by the yellow filtering. I don't think it adds to the image much at all. Good focus, lighting looks nice as is composition. I like just about everything but the yellow cast and that brings it down greatly for me. 4.

Hmmm, 24 out of 281. Not bad! Beautiful work, of course.

Wonder how long it took to get your fingernails clean again.

Very clever play on words and use of rope/netting to tell the story. You went that extra step in using red coloration of the hand as well. Sharp! Good tonal quality.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Ha, Ha! GOOD one! Besides, there's a man who likes his reds!

Now, first of all, let me assure you I'm not the only member of the Critique Club. Honest, you will get critiques from others one of these days. :)

Excellent entry in the Literary Adventure Challenge. If I had voted in that challenge, I'd have given it high marks. Nevertheless, it only scored adequately.

So, here goes: I think it's the props. The red book is a touch shabby, and the table top has some finely defined scratches. Since this was an Advanced Editing Challenge, it would be the work of a few minutes to remove imperfections with that Photoshop cloning brush and most would do it.

Your composition is, in my opinion, just fine, your technicals certainly are. It's those darned dings and scratches.

Keep up the good work.
