Critique Club Review:

Color, saturation, hue, brightness and contrast are all excellent.

I might have liked a tiny bit more depth of field. Just enough to keep the yellow/green stripped line sharp to the edge of the frame. Just a personal preference, not a major point.

This picture really meets the challenge. I like the play of the shapes and the colors. The only other suggestion I have, would be for a little more detail in the lower left of the frame. There is really nice texture and shape to the blacks, until the seem to meld into a undefined shape lower left. Again, a minor point and more of a personal preference.

Overall an excellently done photo, and well deserving of the top ten finish it received.

I would guess that the green/yellow is an earth wire, the black is phase?

Can I guess??? Is it the reel on a fly rod? Great shot. Congratulations.

Very nice! Great finish with this fine abstract. BTW, caught any fish with that line lately? :P

Smile and keep having fun!

Beautiful, soft light and lines. I love the blurry gold one in the front. Nice job, and the soft gold way in the background. Total effect really neat. 10

i find the object on the right distracting
09/25/2006 04:00:39 PM
i don't know what this is, but it's a great image. the framing, colors, and DOF all work very well together. very sensual.

i like it! The yellow on the right is a little distracting because it takes up so much of the picture. Still i have no idea what this is so im giving it a 10
