The Eulogyby
cdriceComment by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Overall: Oh the drama...and it is indeed a scene from a play being depicted. I took Drama classes for several years and have performed on stage so I do feel the pain here but wish the emotion had more depth and less emoting, if you get my drift.
Technical: Fairly good shot, you didn't have to worry about giving direction or lighting the shot, the director took care of that. Composition adequate; it was more the stage blocking in your favour. The fact that you had access during dress rehearsal meant that you had what many would see as an unfair advantage, as you knew already what to expect.
Artistic: This is the tough part for me, for this is not of your own making, but a capture of someone else's work, so very borderline. Having said that, you did capture a poignant scene very well.
FWIW: Respectable finish, wish it were of your own making than a capture of someone else's work. Quite a lot of pp'ing too, was all of it so necessary?
Look forward with interest to more of your entries.
Keep shooting and feel free to PM me with any questions,
Susan
