Candy Fallingby
sagestudioComment by kandyj: Critique Club:
Meets the Challenge: Excellent
Composition: Very good use of empty space, the hand with the candy towards the bottom gives a good feel to the photo, as if it has a little bit of weight and strength at the bottom where it is needed, without detracting from the airiness (is this really a word?!) of the shot. I really don't mind the wrinkled sheet, as the candy is so flat, it adds a little bit of tonal contrast to the photo and I like that, despite the comments below.
Technical Quality: To me, (one person's opinion only), it needed to be a bit more abstract to be that. It looks grainy and oversaturated and overexposed and a bit out of focus for a realistic shot and not enough to be abstract. Since abstracts generally don't do too well in competion, you can work with this some more to make improvements that will make a great sellable print, since you can do some spot editing on parts and make it as surreal as you want!
Creativity: Excellent. And the added post-processing adds to the creativity of the shot.
Overall: A nice photo, I would have probably given it a 5 as it is, with a little more or less post-processing my score would have gone up.
Hope this helps, if you have questions or comments feel free to email or pmail me. Kandice
