slug seems a bit small to be the main focus of this shot

Could have been a tighter shot to lose the hot light on the planter

Is that a slug on the pot? i think this photo would be improved a lot if it wasnt there. it composition of a natural left and a manmade right looks very good, and the colours contrast each other equally well, 7

I think this image would be more interesting from a bit farther away.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I'm surprised how this shot fared. I didn't rate it so highly because I don't think it's a technically well-done photograph and even though it's somewhat interesting, it wasn't enough to carry the shot. Now I'll try to back up what I'm saying so you don't think I'm just some random jerk.

This shot looks hue adjusted. It has the noise like blues with greens, reds with blues...it doesn't look like this shot was taken like this. I think maybe you brightened it up too much, or something. The post processing really hurt it.

The focus works well for this shot. The woman's 'pose' and blowing out smoke aren't all that nice. I don't find it attractive, nor do I find it particularly pleasant. I think the smoke adds to the mood, though it's not a mood I can relate to.

Nice score and nice photograph. Happy shooting!

Great attention to detail on this shot. I definitiely think the framing could be tighter around the watches though. Cutting an inch of the top and left sides strengthens the shot for me.

Nice exposure as well. 8
