Hello from the Critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

I am not familiar with Cutout's work but a quick look at his front page suggests that your image fits the challenge. It is an intriguing image that holds the viewer and demands a longer look to work out the reflections, shadows and original detail that makes up the whole. Although it is massively overexposed it works in an appealing sort of way. The toning suits the subject well. I have had to look long and hard at the bird itself to work out its rather strange posture as clinging to the wire of the fence and looking over its back towards the space it is in.

It works well and has been favourably received here by your voters, well done, Sid

It's a print made from a painting at a rummage sale. Beautiful! Bumping to 8.
Reminds me so much of my Gramma the painter and of Vermont and places like that.

Comment by tnun:
well I like this. an ordinary kind of scene through window, and a well shown difficult kind of shiny light.

This looks more like a painting than a picture. Perfect in every way. I voted an 8 before but bumping up to 10. And my favorite for a ribbon.

Greetings from the Critique club

An appealing image that does not meet the challenge.

Ah the gorgeous Sophie, I recognised her straight away! Much as I love her and I know you obviously do too I am struggling to see how she conveys a feeling of family to a complete stranger. Yes, she is a very important family member to you but she could be a stray dog wandering alone on a beach, there is nothing in the way you have photographed her that makes me feel she belongs to anyone.

She is too central in the image for me, I would much prefer to see her higher in the frame so that I can see all of her shadow. I would prefer to see more detail of her in the shadows it is blocked out. I do love the low angled sunlight it is bringing some lovely detail in the sands surrounding her. I think a lower level image where we can see her eyes and the detail in her lovely face with this lovely beach around her was an opportunity lost.

Thanks for your submission, Sid
