::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

The critique I am doing is for "Galileo's Legacy"

Great fun to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.

First Impression - the most important one:
For me the shot is too busy, but for others it wasn't ... I read the comments, and read about your preferred picture, I liked that one more as there was less going on. But for this one, it is a good photograph, and it did really well in the challenge.

Composition:
This is an interesting composition ... the impression is quite centred but I think it is well skued to the thirds.

Subject:
Meets the challenge on so many different levels.

Technical (Colour and light):
Crisp and well balanced. The lighting has worked well, and the picture is sharp. The DOF is well done.

To grow its vote?:
Top 20 ... I don't know how to improve this pictures vote it was an extremely tough challenge.

Summary:
This is a good picture .. might be too busy, but it worked well for this challenge. Congratulations on the Top 20 finish.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Looking at the thumbnail, I did not expect to like this. When I opened it, it was such a pleasant surprise. Well composed. Well executed. Well presented. Well processed. And I love the title (I'm a bit of a science geek and the reference to Galileo really appeals to me.)

Nice close up shot and the colors really pop!

Very effective transmitted pattern through the colors has me wondering how it would look with a diamond orientation. Interesting and lovely.

For me, this shot is too busy--too much pattern, too many objects. It also does not seem that the shapes are the most important aspect.

Very nice and the background is interesting. The DOF makes this interesting. The shape is uncommon also.

I don't like the background...something solid would be better. But the subject is good!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

awesome!

This is cool idea, and i think it came out more or less well. the problem i have with it though is that it's a little choatic with the tags hanging and the black and white squares being fuzzy and all. But the distortions in the glass and the different colors are great. 8

love this pic, color makes it standout, shapes make it perfect!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lots of shapes make this a very busy photo. I don't like the way the squares fade from top to bottom. Keeping them vivid black would add more impact. It looks like you used 3 different color liquids in the middle, but they appear very similar - a bright green or yellow would have really stood out. The dark green at the top seems an afterthought, as it blends into the dark squares. Overall, i like this quite a bit.
