CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE
by karmat
Club,
What I first noticed about this picture was the lovely contrast between the yellow building and the blue frame of the door. That is a great color contrast, and a real attention grabber. I also like how the "verticleness" of the tree and the "verticalness" of the door lead the eyes up through the frame. The vertical shape is also contrasted nicely by the diagonal "motion" of the shadows. I like how neither the door or the tree is in the center, but each is working together in the photograph.
Though the details in the sidewalk, and other shaded areas are good, it seems a bit blown out on the right, especially the trunk of the tree. The positive of this is that it gives it a "strong" look, but the negative is that it can be distracting and even painful if you look at it too long. :-)
As far as meeting the challenge, it has a tree and some shrubbery, so it does meet the challenge as far as I am concerned, even if the tree doesn't seem to be the main focus.

| It probably doesn't quite fit the challenge as intended, but I think this is a lovely photo. The composition is great. |

| Engaging photo. the door pulls most of the focus here, though the plants clearly have some influence, too. |

| I like the play of shadows on the wall and door, although it strikes me as being a little too dark in some places. |

| I like the composition and color contrast between the blue/yellow in this photo... as the title suggests, it is a very nice 'shadow' theme. Flora is present.. thus meeting the challenge... i think that flora could be a stronger element of the photo as well :) - setzler |

| Hard to tell that flora was the subject of this photograph. The shadows are so prevalent that the ones from the tree blend in with others on the ground. Needs to be more separation in tones here for it to be as effective as it could be. |

| Nice idea. Perhaps a little too much shadow with no detail. |
