Comment by posthumous:
I like the dynamic composition, the "X" has fatal undertones, but I don't find it too compelling because I can't figure out the logic behind the phone resting on the knife, since the knife (which is clean so hasn't been used yet) theoretically belongs to the killer while the phone belongs to the victim. Also, how can a phone call be dead?

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club. But you know all that anyways.

First Impression - the most important one:
OK ... not really my taste ... but a solid studio shot.

Composition:
This I found a little too centered .. just below the middle of the shot is the swan sitting on the mantle ..I would have like a little higher abopve the swan placing the mantel to the thirds ... Also this is cropped quite tight on the mantle .. I know what bugs me is that I would like to see the swan sitting on something a little larger .. e.g. winder .. to help really balance it.

Subject:
Meets the challenge .. hard not to.

Technical (Colour and light):
I think you have done well here ... there is no flaring the from flashes and lighting ... and the bird is quite elegantly lit.

To grow its vote?:
I hate this question ... take a picture of a boat in a pond ... I have no ideas .. this is after all free study .... I believe it is each to their own here ...

Summary:
Just some detracted thoughts .. hope they make a little sense ... I know you were playing here ... but I think that is how we all learn ...

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari
