Island of Hopeby
Schnitzer17Comment by photokariangel: This is Kari Ann, greetings from the
Critique Club:
composition: the centered composition adds to the image in this case, and the leading pebbles up to the little tree add interest
color:strong, vibrant colors work well against the pale blue backdrop
contrast: contrast in the rocks is a little too dark imo, loosing some of their detail
focus: great focus on the tree, its nice and sharp
depth of field: as
tygerr said, a deeper DOF would have helped this image. All the pebbles in focus would have pulled the viewer in and made them look for longer
lighting: good lighting, but the small shadows underneath the pebbles are a little distracting
other: I feel this image is extremely zen. I feel at peace when looking at it, and congratulate you in capturing such an inspiring photo. With a few more tweaks here and there, I feel this could have been much higher in the ranks. glad to see you here on DPC, and keep up with the challenges and expanding your horizons. I hope to see you around here more, and see what you can come up with. if you have any more questions, feel free to PM me whenever, anytime.
