Comment by JakeKurdsjuk:
Something like this needs to be tack sharp on the eye to work. This isn't, and the artifact in the reflection just takes away some more. Great eye color, but not a great photo.

Comment by Lydia:
I love the composition.

BUT... in my opinion, there needs to be something very sharply in focus in an image like this.

That eye needs to COMMAND my attention... not get it when my eye finally gets there.

But... that's just an opinion. All voters have an equal one.

Comment by Lydia:
Seems overly sharpened.. or noisy... somehow.
Could use some contrast.


I'll be back to visit again.

ETA: Great detail!

Capturing the moments before Hermine

Comment by snaffles:
Greetings from the Critique Club!

Overall this is a very good, well-exposed capture of a nice angry storm coming in. Love the colours in the clouds, you can see the strength and energy in them and as the tide is out a little, the waves look they're almost cowering in anticipation, and the jetty to the left with that teeny little shack (lifeguard station?) on the end just reminds us how small we are...the surfers are pretty much an afterthought at this point, with the weather looming...this is the kind of shot that, with a judicious amount of pp, ends up on the front page.

But then...Daniel, dude! There's this photog coming in from the left and his presence immediately draws all the attention away from Hermione and all that beautifully played-out drama in the waves and sky. Now, I can see that you wanted to use a photog to document the storm coming in, but there are other ways to do it. Usually as a silhouetted figure in the distance, with a tripod helping to establish their presence. Up close and personal, in this fashion, just isn't the way to go.

I want you to try this exercise: cover up the photog (and figure walking on the sand, too) with your left hand. Got it? Now, cover up the bottom third of the pic with your right hand. See the difference between the original and this hand-cropped version? Keep in mind that you will lose nothing by doing exactly this in pp, before you enter: put the best two crops of an entry, side by side, and see which one captures your attention more. And why.

Hope this helps, feel free to pm me (esp as I was having a Yoda moment in the last couple sentences)

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that fulfils the challenge brief

A nice pleasing portrait of your father that conveys a happy gentle nature at peace with himself. The bokeh and flare of the background works well but that same flare is also its undoing, there is just too much of it in the important areas of detail, ie., his face. The flare is such that it is not flattering indeed, it is to the detriment of cleanly portraying his facial features. I think also, wide open is too shallow a DOF especially with the flare everything is just too soft. Having said all that Daniel, you have a lovely portrait that will continue to mean a lot to you in the coming years, well done.

I don't know that the photographer on the left side of your photograph does it justice and the horizon seems to be a bit lopsided. I do like the angry looking clouds out in the distance.

Comment by Teafran:
A very intriguing image - I like the HDR effect (not sure if it is HDR - it has aspects of being an HDR image), but a very effective image. There is a little bit of perspective magic happening on the right with the curve in the beach - it almost looks like a wave curling over - interesting. A solid entry.
