"Squash The Troll"

Critique Club Review

I don't think there is really a lack of lighting here, I believe the chosen background makes the scene seem a bit darker than it really is. Also the shadows from the position of the lighting feed the sensation. However were the scene any more brightly lit, the hair and the yellow in the chest would start to lose detail. Perhaps a lighter background and a lighting direction that casts less shadow could help here.

Focus/depth of field is very good. Color saturation and balance are very good also.

Is the red on the Troll's right hand supposed to represent blood? If so, it is almost un-noticeable. Perhaps more blood would have worked here. Or none... As it is the red splotch is a question mark that doesn't really detract, but at the same time doesn't really add to the image either.

As someone else noted, the elephant is a bit small to really imply the troll is being squashed. However, overall it is a cute/humorous image.

Excellent. However :) you should have focused on the funeral home sign... It's the main subject and the "Time Expired" is really secondary. 8.

This is so almost a ten, Great idea, if the meter were in focus or at least clear or cleaner to make more of a pleasent item, and if the sign were in focus this would be a ten for sure.,..,,..,,..8

Nice choice of theme.
The picture in general lacks light in the right places though... too many shadowy/grey areas. 6

Comment by tomzinho:
very original. too bad the focus on the funeral home is a little soft (although i don't know if it could have been done better given the DOF challenge inherent with the shot).
