Hi Heather

My name is Kari and from the critique club I am currently undertaking a critique of your photo "The law says stepmother, she always called her Mommy". I hope you find this helpful.

Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us much information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting. I am nervous of saything things like sharpen more etc, when you might be going for a softer look, so these details help.

Anyho on we go!

First Impression - the most important one:
I thought this was lovely. I also note the comment that I initially made and what was said by many of the other commentors - we miss the little girls face.

Composition:
This is ok. Not fantastic, but then again, I am still learning how to do fantastic, these things take time and are learnt for most of us! I like that you cropped out the other feet and stuff but there are still a couple of distractions in the ice (dark marks on the left side and at the top a bit of a weird thing going on. I tried cropping them out myself and you can do this without loosing any of the impact of the picture.

Also would like to see the face, but this in itself was a hard shot to take, so I can understand if it wasn't possible, I do think that this counted against you in the long run.

Subject:
Lovely choice of subject matter, which defiantely meets the challenge, and tugged at the heartstrings.

Technical (Colour and light):
This is really lovely picture, I like the use of black and white, play as you can with contrasts and brightness to ensure that this is as chrisp as you need it and then don't forget to sharpen the image after you have reduced its size, this helps to remove some fuzziness.

To grow its vote?:
Take note of what the voters are saying. They have left some really good comments that taken into account will continue to set you up in good steed.

Summary:
Well done, keep it up, can't wait to see the next one.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari
