Barbed wire helped settle the west in the US also. Good shot, fantastic perspective.

Good idea. The shallow depth of field is just not working here. Too much blur in the log that is most prominent.

The new Critique Club: Test Critiques #1

Initial impression : A wonderful riot of colours that 'sets the scene' of a painting palette very well.

Technically the diagonal placement of the brushes gives some movement to the picture, though
the slightly soft/ out of focus brush in the lower left is a bit annoying. The brown brush ends up
as the center of interest and my eyes keep coming back there and working through the implied
triangle between that and the other brush. Again the softness gets in the way.

I think I might have preferred this with some paint on the brushes as it feels too setup - there is a
difference between a setup shot that looks setup and a setup shot that doesn't!

You might have been able to tweak the contrast/ saturation of this shot a bit and made the colours
even more vibrant but they are strong as they are and that could be the vagaries of monitors
making an impact.

Overall a very strong entry and a good close-up. Certainly trying to keep more elements in the plane
parallel to the lens might have kept more of the shot in sharper focus, as there doesn't seem to be
much motivation for more selective DoF control in this particular instance.

Gordon - feel free to disagree or contact me to continue a discussion

Feels too contrived...i think i might work better if there were actual paint on the brushes, if actual painting was being done -hector

Might work for some but too busy for me. I like more symplicity. I'm really not into the modern art world. To me this is where this goes. Technically though not bad. Good focus and crop. Gotta technically give it a 7 inspite of my personal preferences. Great try. PTL
