Greetings from the Critique Club
by strangeghost

The first three parts of this critique are written based purely on examination of your photo. "Final thoughts" is written after reviewing your score, photographer's comments, and voter comments.

TECHNIQUE
Very sharp and well focused, nicely saturated colors, clear message. It's hard to find fault in this image technically. I assume that's a TV screen. It's not easy to find the right exposure to shoot a screen like that, and you've still managed to light the hands perfectly.

COMPOSITION
Very well balanced, perfectly composed/cropped. Nice angles created by having the TV screen skewed. The message is clear, even without the challenge description or title.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT
There is a significant humor component here, which I'm sure got a chuckle out of more than a few voters, as it did from me. Aside from that however, there's really not much to say. It's not a picture that makes one wonder or causes the jaw to drop. It's a nicely composed, technically flawless shot that just... just does it's job. It would make a wonderful stock image.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I didn't vote this challenge so I can't speak to how many similar shots there were, but I imagine out of nearly 90 entries, there were a few other similar concepts. Your score is a bit below average, but given the lack of a real "wow" factor, that's not hard to understand. Very well done on the comp and technicals though.

Iv seen a few shot in this contest that are similar. Maybe its just me but i dont know many couples that fight over the remote.. maybe thats just me. But the photo has a nice commercial sense to it. The even lighting is one major factor in that feel for me. I lso like how you broke up the composition with the upper right corner, its a nice compositional addition.

Cute idea...fabulous detail! I'm miffed at Dish Network, since I've been without a dish for almost 7 weeks now due to bad weather and enept service.

((sorry about the rant, it has become my duty to warn others!!))

unbiased 8 though. :)

Concept: Common - Execution: Really Nice. A closer crop with this idea and some dynamic lighting would have put this in the 7 range for me.
Lighting Quality: Flat.
Image Quality: Great.
