I like this image. It takes my eyes right into the center of the image to the back snowline. I wish there was a feature at that point. Maybe a dog or someone coming out of the background. Still, I like it enough to score this with a 7.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes to the challenge

I suppose there are several ways of interpreting the challenge brief especially given the absence of a definition and I like your creative take on the theme. The sunlight coming through the venetian blinded window add to the abstract nature of the painting and decoration on the wall in a way that adds an air of mystery to the image, I like it. I think your composition is spot on, what we can’t see through your crop adds as much to the image as what we can see, I love the top the way it dissolves any detail and the bottom which reveals the lines for what they are. All of this works really well for me Peggy, thanks for sharing it with us.

Greetings from the Critique Club, Peggy. Sorry this review is a little late.

The first thing I notice is that the image is very common. There are two common subjects with no special interaction between each other. You brought out the detail pretty well in the moon, but its not a big enough subject to really appreciate the detail.

I notice the moon is at 1/3 vertically, but horizontally its in an awkward spot, not at center, and not at 1/3 - the common locations for subjects. That's not to say there is anything particularly wrong with what you have, its just awkward. I also notice a lot of noise in the shot. Adjusting that out could make this incrementally better.

I could see this image getting a little more interesting if you were to position the moon at 1/3, or even further towards the edges... just to give a little more playfulness. I think it would also be interesting to bring up the contrast a lot and bring down the saturation to give it a little more of a artsy graphic feel. I'd also like to see what it would look like with the moon positioned differently relative to the tree branches - just to see what it could do. I would have tried to walk towards the tree and seen if there was any interesting composition to be had - add some interest. To get rid of the sensor noise, try a lower ISO (might require a tripod).

Hope you found some value in this. Cheers.
