color is in the cutby
DarkprincessComment by _eug: **** Greeting from the Critique Club ****
First, as many people noted the border is over done. I am not a fan of borders, but when properly done should be a small percentage of the image (and I prefer white, but that's me.)
Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes, although the colors area bit dull.
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Um, I can't really respond. Well, okay. It's an abstract. There is little composition when discussing abstract.
- Good focus? I would say yes and no. What lead me to say this is that the edges of the facets are sharp near the center of the image, but I'd like them to be sharp through the entire image. Many people mentioned the focus, but I think the are confusing the lighting reflected in the top 1/3 of the image as the subject.
Lighting
- Good use of light? No. I am guessing overhead flourescent tubes. What makes me guess this is the long blueish-white reflections in the top facets.
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast. As mentioned before, the colors are a bit dull. In post processing, bring the saturation up some and adjust the contrast and brightness to make the colors come out more.
- What is my reaction or feelings? It's absract, but I like it. It could be better, but I like abstract even though abstract doesn't score well here.
