Comment by Alicia:
Greetings from the Critique Club! You asked for an in-depth critique for your image, and here it is:

First, I really adore this image. It's a leek and it's not. It has mystique. It made me look at it for a long time, traveling up and down the lines. The light and dark play are most outstanding - you really captured the deep, rich tones we see in Weston photos.

So why did this not score higher? Frankly, I'm not entirely sure. The composition could have something to do with it - the off-center, meandering out of the frame of that leek. That's all I can come up with. Your focus is good, the tones are good, the light is good, the subject is good. Who knows what scores well and why here? I certainly don't for the most part.

I'm sorry if this is not constructive enough. I'm also biased by the fact that I'm particularly fond of the image and if I had voted, would have given it an 8 with ease. And look at all your awesome comments!

From me, congratulations on an image that is thoughtful and compelling. Screw the score.

Best, Alicia

So many stories, most of them funny, can't say I get the title, but then I'm a South-effriken.

Unintentional spelling error corrected.

This is screaming posthumous at me. Who else would engage in such an artistic tug-of-war?

Without the title, this image is reduced in stature. With it, an entire scene unfolds.

Don't really know what to say other than to favorite this.

Back to comment... Black cat spooky! It almost looks like he's been pierced by a beam of light! Awesome!
