::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Its a dog .. but one of a very select few that I don't really mind.

Composition:
Well done, I think that slightly more on the left may have put the dog on true thirds .. but is works ... the leading lines through the landscape and the sky add.

Subject:
Meets the challenge, but has challenged peoples thinking.

Technical (Colour and light):
Well done .. natural and lovely. Hard to tell if this is selective desat or not .. and that I like.

To grow its vote?:
Put in a person . .you know that is what people thought should be there.

Summary:
Great .. nice challenge to the way of thinking .. and well thought through. Keep it up.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Brilliant shot, Mark, but it resulted in me getting beaten up by my wife! She found the image a little disturbing as it looked like a lot of eyes looking at her - which it does - and she took her angst out on me! She thought it was a great shot, though.

Ouch - but we all have to suffer for our art - or yours in this case!

Well deserved ribbon, too.

Congrats on yet another ribbon mate, those blue ones seem to elude you but what an impressive display of red and yellow ones!

Comment by Cutter:
yours adds a different quality, MB. It has a lucid, dreamlike effect missing in the other "type" of shots like this. And the yellow only adds to that effect and I say it was a good choice. Congrats on getting back up to speed with your winning ways...
