 This is my first "member challenge". I have done only three non-member challenges so far but I still have a lot of learning to do.
I found this empty nest in our shed and thought it'd be perfect for this challenge. So i used my brothers light box and took some shots with it and this was the best shot.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This image is only OK. The actual concept is fine, but the execution needs a lot of work. The first thing I noticed was the background, where there is a very obvious split down the middle with the left side being much warmer than the right. That needs to be seen, and fixed, long before it reaches the stage of being chosen as the best shot to enter.

Next, I feel this shot loses a lot by having being brought into a studio. IMHO a long exposure, with the nest in the shed (if moved from its original location) would have added a whole 'nuther dimension and a sense of story. You don't need fancy lighting, just a tripod and a long enough exposure.

Feel free to PM me.

Susan
