Critique Club Review:

It took me a second to see what this was. I didn't catch the spider web right away.

Contrast, exposure, color, saturation, and hue are all well done.

Focus is good, depth of field was used to good advantage.

The spider web dissapears in some areas, and if the lighting were a bit different, or if some water mist were sprayed to simulate dew, it might show more clearly.

I'm in agreement with those who found the green distracting. Though it is helped some by being soft, the color still overpowers the paleness of the sky, and the size of the bugs.

On the other hand, the softness of the sky is just about right. We have enough detail to tell us we are seeing sky and cloud, but not so sharp as to take the eye away from the subject. Good job.

I suspect the other reason for your score is, unfortunately, some people are turned off by bugs, and other by death. You gave them both. Though personally I like this piece.

the flies seem like puppets in a kiddie version of Grand Guignol. You make a real background look like an enthusiastic diorama. Well done! I gave this a 7, and probably underscored it.

OK fit to the challenge, I think if you would have included all sky, without the trees it may have come off a little better. 6

The green at the bottom seems a bit distracting. Really neat idea though.

Even if I like the idea and the composition, I find the fly too little and the negative space a bit too extended.

That is so cool! I don't know how you did it, but I like it.

What a contrast between the background and dead flies. And that peace of green forest gives a little hope. Well done.
