Hello from the Critique Club!
I like the composition that you have found with this image, the concentric rectangles draw the viewer into the image. You also have chosen to represent wood grain with image grain, which I quite like.
You have already received some criticism on the blurriness of the image: that is well founded. A good tip is to use a sharpening algorithm after resizing your image. That wold have sharpened your image and might have brought out more of the image grain that is hinted at, but not as strong as it might be for a challenge with that title.
While interesting, this kind of shot is going to struggle in challenges to score well: it does not have a particular point of interest, as the scene is a bit of a "background" rather than a subject in itself. It would either have to be a technically perfect photograph, perhaps delving into the abstract, or might be livened up with some action. That might be something as small as, say, a person, or a child's brightly coloured toy, sitting on the porch to add a focal point.
Good luck with your next challenge! |
