The "strangels"by
cristiano79Comment by Neuferland: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hi! This image is without a doubt a tacky Christmas decoration when you really look at it but sadly nothing about the image makes me want to really spend time looking at it and trying to figure it out. The title does help some but not a lot.
The shot is from behind one of the angels and that is where the confusion comes in, you can see the wings on the one in the background but the one in the foreground really has no definition. A hard subject to shoot overall I'm sure. It's also a very busy shot, if you could have just had one angel in the shot to simplify it?
The cropping is a bit tight on the angel in the front perhaps lending to the confusion of what they might be. A bit looser crop to include the whole angel might help. Also the focus seems off on part of the angel. When this close to the subject I would expect to see the entire subject in focus, the head and hair seem a bit fuzzy.
The lighting is good, natural light from the window works very well with this shot but would work even better if you came from a different angle and was able to block the windows out. The colors are also very well done.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck In Future Challenges!
