An interesting image that contributes well to the free challenge
Given your focal length you were closer than I would have cared or dared to be, well done for bravery alone! Your shot is accurately focused on the alligator nicely defined against the soft focus foreground and background it stands out well in an appealing way. There is good clarity of detail throughout the image. The green of its surroundings is in bold contrast to its dark skin. It is an accurate documentary record shot but that is all, there is no wow factor that takes your breath away perhaps if you had offered him one of your limbs it would have that missing factor but then so would you have missing bits and that, all said and done, is a little too much to expect!
Thank you for your entry |

Prop Washby PhocalComment by sidpixel: Hello from the Critique club
An interesting image that meets the challenge
Perfect choice of subject for the challenge, I like your viewpoint and I like your crop. Yes, you have over-saturated but I rather think it has enhanced the image. It has helped to bring out the ravages of wear and the traces of workings as a result of maintenance. The various shades and colours make it more appealing than a straightforward shot of a prop accurately reproduced as a record shot. Your exposure is good with good detail throughout.
I really rather like it, I am sorry it didn't score higher and that you didn't get any comments during the challenge, I hope this makes up for it. Thank you for your entry |

An interesting image that meets the challenge.
This is probably the most golden hour I've ever seen! If I'm perfectly honest, which I always try to be, its not entirely to my taste but it certainly captures that early morning moment well and it fulfils the challenge brief with the morning mists. I get the impression that you have applied some saturation, I may well be wrong but I think this would work better with some desat to reduce it to more pastel shades, I find the vivid yellow of the water hurts my eyes. By doing so it may well also bring out the mists on the water itself as opposed to just the darker background. Having said all that, I appear to be in a minority here so well done with your score, result and positive comments |
