posthumousComment by ambaker: Critique Club Review:
Color, Saturation, and Hue: N/A, image is monochrome.
Brightness and contrast: Contrast is good, shadows hold detail, and the highlights are not blown out. Brightness could be a little brighter, but is still very good.
Focus and depth of field: Both are excellent.
While the image is centered, which may have affected the vote of some tehcnical purisits, I don't know of a better way to do this one. Though an image from a bit further back could be interesting also. I think the lighting is excellent. I really like the play where the center column is up-lit, and the outer columns are down lit. I also like the way the top row is different. Had it been the same as the other two, I think there would have been too much repitition.
The only thing that I would say could be called "wrong" here, is that there is no central subject in the image. Everything pretty much gets equal time and space. The image does impart the message and tell the story well. It's just that there is no place for the eye to stop. So the eye wanders continuously, and mine actually got a little tired.
However, that being said, this is a very strong image, tells a strong story, and is not simple eye candy.
Very well done! Congratulations on making the top 25. You earned it.
