J,

A belated thank you for your critique on my submission. It's important to me to get feedback on as many images as possible, so that I can learn what to do and what to avoid in order to improve. Thanks for taking the time to provide your comments. I think your suggestion about filling the frame makes sense and I will also try to find other shots similar to this one to see what others have done.

Thanks again,

Mike Kopkas

Hello from the Critique Club :)

First and foremost, congratulations on the third place in the art show you mentioned, that must be very gratifying.

I enjoy the colors you have created here, the depth of field is very pleasing to the eye. It is something I have never attempted, I don't know that I have the patience or the skill for it.
As far as what might have improved your placing in this challenge, I think filling the frame more and not having the dark space in the upper left corner might have garnered a higher point total.

Taking a look at other shots like this on this site might give you some insight as to how this might be shot differently, looking at them will certainly serve you better than anything I might add.

Keep Shooting!
