Greetings from the Critique Club,
First off, this is your entry in the 'Square Crop' challenge, and it fits the challenge quite well, as it is indeed a square crop :-) The first impression that I get from the shot is nice vivid colors and good technicals. Focus and lighting are good. The bright colors grab my attention quickly, but then I find my interest waning fairly quickly. In other words, a technically well done shot, but lacking that ever elusive 'wow' factor everyone is always talking about. I see no glaring flaws. The shadows that are present I feel actually add to the image. There does seem to be some green on the edge of the yellow die (a reflection it looks like), but that is very minor.
The composition is ok. Maybe a slightly looser crop/framing could be a little stronger, allowing just a little space for the subject to 'breath'. A thing to perhaps try, would be to set the dice in a more 'ordered' fashion. Maybe going for some symmetry, which seems to often work very well in the square crop format.
Any post processing you did seems fine. The shot's general appearance looks good. No flaws, good color management and all. The image obviously doesn't look heavily edited or anything.
Your score is certainly not bad on this one. I think this is an image that could be more appreciated by fans of the macro genre. Technically well done, but a tough subject to get a "wow" from people across the board. I would think this is the only thing that held your score to the mid '5's. The bright colors I think are definitely a big strong point in the presentation.
Hope you find at least some food for thought in my opinion. If you have any questions or comments or wish to discuss this at all, please feel free to contact me.
Happy Shooting,
taterbug :-) |

| Lots of good technical things - especially colour and light; I find the composition a bit lumpy, perhaps cropped a touch too close? For a subject that's not intrinsically very interesting, I don't think you've managed to add the necessary magic: but it's entirely competent nevertheless. |

| good exposre and color, only thing i would suggest is cleaning up the image just a bit, at least with the yellow dice, it is a little dirty (black specks) but that is of little consequence, good image |
