Take Your Childrenby
posthumousComment by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Initial impression: I think it's a lovely shot, but more of an abstract, it's quite obtuse in nature. When I voted (and gave a nice solid 5) I read the poetry and couldn't help but wonder who may have written it.
Technical: Light and pp results in quite murky results, esp considering the nature of this challenge. I love the POF, dof very good, composition is very unconventional which makes this shot more interesting. Sadly voters want to see a critter, and the more exotic the better.
Artistic: The goat gets lost against the equally dark bg; I sense a feeling of disconnect from reality with the fence being angled the way it is. Oddly bleak (no other goats/critters in sight) yet appealing. The poem is quite lovely. *finger snaps of appreciation*
Overall: Not surprised at all that it's yours, Don!
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
