Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.
Now I don't think you had your one handed keyboard for this shot so can understand not entering comments .. but I know you got it now .. they really do help with critiquing.
First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting shot .. good framing .. nicely out of the box this one.
Composition:
This is a reasonable though not stunning composition .. this may be due to the selective desat impression ... not sure ...
Subject:
meets the challenge in spades.
Technical (Colour and light):
This is good natural light from the looks ... and I love the DOF ... I am biased on selective desat and think it does work in some cases but it seems a little overkill in this shot ...
To grow its vote?:
I would have loved to have seen this in colour to see how that works ... this I think would make a huge difference to the shot.
Summary:
Good shooting .. you are overall improving all the time ...
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
Kari
