Strong perspective but rather boring image. 5

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that the tones are very nice and there is alot to see in the shot.

Technically there isn't too much to find fault with in this. The tones are great, the composition well, the exposure spot on. DOF is perhaps the only thing that springs to mind - a bit of blurring of the background would have been good.

Artistically this is a bit dull. It's a picture of a chair but the chair is clearly in a shop and it comes across as being a shot of a window display rather than a chair, which is what voters will be looking for.

In summary it's a good shot technically but I suspect a lot of voters just found it a little uninspring, hence all those 5's.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry

if it were strictly a windmill i would like this very much, the sign however does not hold much interest

unique perspective and well framed but it isn't memorable.

Cool windmill, I'm not sure about the slightly featureless sky though, light corners lead the eye out of rather than into a shot.
