Line of wireby
alpharichComment by ambaker: Critique Club Review:
Color Saturation and Hue: N/A (image is B&W)
Brightness and contrast: Very well done! Dark areas are nice and inky. Highlights have kept their detail while being nice and bright.
Focus and depth of field: Focus is lazer sharp. One can almost feel the texture of the wire. Very nice... Depth of field is used to good effect to concentrate the eye on the intended subject. The busy background becomes a nice moody backdrop.
I like the lighting here. Nice and stark, which is what barbed wire is all about.
On the technical side the subject is centered top to bottom and side to side. The techie voters will have voted you down a bit for that.
Also the hairs on the barb on the left, even though softened, are identifiable and compete with the intended subject for attention. I find myself wondering what their story is. Had you selected that barb for the subject, the competion for attention would be gone, and the score might have increased. I think it might tell a little more of a story that way.
Overall an above average photo, and one I could see hanging on a wall or in a gallery.
