BrookeComment by elru21: Hello from the critique club,
I see this is your first challenge, so welcome to DPC. This entry didn't do very well, but I hope that doesn't discourage you from contributing more in the future.
Here are my comments of your image.
I think the complementary colors you are going for are blue and orange. As most of the comments you got mention it was too much of a stretch for the challenge, which is the biggest reason it did so poorly. Although present, the blue and orange are not dominant enough in the image to fit into 'complementary colors'
I like the textures that you have found here. There is alot going on visually. My eye is mostly drawn between the window, the heater and thebig hole in the ceiling. It is kind of a haphazard composition, but it is a haphazard subject, so it seems to fit.
I wonder if you could have found a more interesting angle from which to shoot this. Maybe kneeling down shooting up so the heater is in the foreground and the hole is above it in the background? I think a more dynamic angle and perspective would 'tell the story' of this scene more effectively.
Good luck in future challenges! Please feel free to pm me if you have any questions about my comments.
Liza
