::: Critique Club :::

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

Interesting 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:
Well done, love the framing and cropping to definately play the shot.

Composition:
hard to do a not centred shot here, nice that you have cropped to the frame and better that they hang their knickers if a single frame.

Subject:
Meets the challenge extremely well.

Technical (Colour and light):
Here i felt it may be a little overcontrasted .. but I have no idea what you were after with this shot without your comments ...

To grow its vote?:
Look at the comments you got .. this is a great shot ... every thinks something different ... not sure how to improve really.

Summary:
Great shot .. nice to at least see it on your profiles front page.

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

Cheers

Kari

Almost entirely "frame" and a small though very striking subject. Brilliant! I gave you a 9.

Haha, how funny is that! The house looks abandoned and there are UNDERWEAR haning in the window :) Great catch, got a 7 from me.

I'm not sure what to say - humorous, but not very interesting.

Selected works, maybe a litle closer would have been better

The lack of absolute symmetry bothers me here... if you're going to make a symmetrical composition, make it perfect! Interesting shadows and light, underwear is too small to make for an interesting composition.

I reallt, really like the toning and the framing here, but the composition is too busy. I can understand why you wanted to keep it all in, as it is a terrific building for photographing. I think a tighter crop would have improved this one a great deal. Maybe including the arch, but loosing the botom of the shot to leave the open window and panties in the lower left corner woudl work better.

This looks outstanding! What an amazing old window. The red/white underwear adds a different dimension to the shot - something interesting. Good luck. 8

I like it a lot. Good composition, nice finding and use of colours. I like the post-editing

A great shot of what was once a very grand window. The underwear is a perfect contrast.

This must get a ribbon! Love the detail and textures, made me smile.
As it was advanced editing perhaps could have cloned out the cable on this right...

Great idea, but the pattern of squares on the bottoms draws the focus away from the underwear.

An interesting image. I like the clarity.

this one made me smile :) I'm not really fond about the framing of your photo, I think I might have made a square crop. (just the wood part of the building, withoud the pillars & balcony around). 7

Great, great shot, but honestly I'm not too big a fan of the subject matter. Just seems oddly out of place.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2006 10:13:21 PM
funny, the shadow on the left bothers me just a little. still a 7
