Critique Club review:

Hi Haja,

At first I wasn't sure if the photo fit the challenge, but I'm also thankful for having the a camera and shooting shots of whatever makes me enjoy the fun. The shot fits the challenge.

The shot, in your opinion is rubbish. Well, I see positive aspects along with negative ones. So, lets look at some of the positives first. I liked the coloration and what you had in focus is excellent. The "C" is nice with the sharpness of the grain above it. The coloration, goldish, is real nice. Your cropping fits the subject well.

Now for the improvements. I think your downfall was the focus. I think it would have looked much better if you'd had the whole name in focus. The cripness of the "C" was really nice and the other letters in this sharpness would have increase the interest by quite a bit. I think this is really the only negative think on your photo.

As a whole, yes it wasn't real interesting or inspiring, but it gave you a chance to give your thanks, I did the same thing with mine. So we we met the challenge well, didn't we.

I hope this helps a bit.

Merry Christmas

Van

In my opinion it needs to be zoomed out more.

Interesting photo - but if "timepiece" were not in your title, I'd have not known what it was.

Nice abstract - great depth-of-field and detail. A simple picture, but I'd like to have something more to look at - perhaps the numbers could have been in focus?

? There are so many natural and truly important things to be thankful for-- but it's your thanks.

I find the shallow depth of field doesn't work well for me here. There just doesn't seem to be much to the photo, and it doesn't work aesthetically because of the DOF and upper left glare, at least for me.

Thank you!
