Critique Club Review:

Focus is very good. Depth of field is shallow, leaving the top of the egg soft and a bit distracting.

I do like the texture of this piece. The edge of the shadow is fascinating. The shadow in a great black void, very well done!

I think what hurt you the most, was the egg. It just doesn't hold up well to the drama of the jet black shadow, with a razor sharp edge, and all the texture of the background.

I would also like to see this photo in color. I think the energy that some bright color could add, would help here.

Overall, a good photo that I think scored a fair bit lower than it should have.

I would have liked to see more of his hands on the trumpet (and less arm). I do like the silhouette effect you were going for against the blue background.

Needs lighting. This has no interesting features.

I like how you've simplified reality into 3 tones and 3 textures. Good composition. 8
