Summery
by Thomas

Comment:
FIRST IMPRESSION : Nice colors, summer but not specifically interesting shot.

COMPOSITION : I like the arrangement of items and the colors are definitly summery : the skirt, the bikini. However the back ground is really too much. It's probably a cover bed. I am not saying a white cover would have been better but .. something else, an other texture maybe. Like those ... I do not know how they are called ... like cheap rectangle or straw that you roll and that have a color border that are used to seat on the beach ? something like that.

TECHNIQUE : Not oversharpened which I like the colors are nice and tnot too saturated which I like. Exposition is good except the whites of the Sun lotion however are blown out.

FINAL IMPRESSION :
I like the colors (except back ground) and to me that 'save' the picture and it meets the challenge. I would have give that one a 5 for the idea and the colors (I did not vote that week).

background cluttered and not very interesting.. I do not think the 'wood' desk is appropriate.

Maybe the front blurry one is a little bit too much hiding the main one .Maybe a fdifferent 'framing' as left. left side is too empty. Nice picture

FIRST IMPRESSION : Nice and strong, nice colors.

COMPOSITION/CONTENT : Very nice composition. I like the mix of 'abstract' and 'reality', the graphical aspect of the pictures with it's shapes and textures and lights and the 'reality' .. it's still a chain , we do not know what it's used for . .but it's a chain with its connotation.

BACKGROUND: The circle of light is part of the back ground for me and a very nice way to 'position' the chain in space/3D and within the picture. In Addition to bring the shadow that balances the content.


TECHNICAL : Nothing special in term of exposure and Depth of field .. is it on purpose that the upper part of the chain is in focus and not the bottom ? The eyd has a tendancy I think to follow the chain and go there and leave the picture ... sort of ;-)

DIGITAL : Digital processing not very visible, just some sharpening artefacts on the side of the 'links', but not a lot (it does not 'jump at your face')

PERSONAL OPINION : I like this picture and would have been myself happy to take a picture like that. Very good work .. keep the faith and take pictures !!! Oh and by the way .. to me it meets the challenge
