Composition: The mixture of light and dark work well due to the placement of the individual pieces of bark however the brightest piece is a little too central. It may have worked better if that piece were on more of an angle. Also, the DOF seems a bit too shallow as some parts of the bark are out of focus. This may only be a distraction due to its position in the composition. 6
Exposure: Ok though the lighting is very harsh making it difficult to get a balance between the highlights and shadows. 5
Impact: Impact is lost due to the harsh lighting. More subtle lighting that enhances the detail I think would have worked better. 5
Overall: 5 |
