Greetings From The Critique Club...
-composition-
The composition of this photo is good, but I would have liked to have seen a closer shot with more attention paid to the details of the leaf than the background, especially the spots on the leaf, and the jagged edges which provide a unique opportunity to create shapes with the negative space (look at the shadow on the tip of the leaf)
-color-
These colors say rainy day to me, overall I think they work well, but I would like to see more saturation in the color of the leaf.
-contrast-
The contrast of the sharp yellow edges with the dark gray is good, I believe that the leaf could stand out a bit more if you were to focus on the details a bit more. Things to try: Get a little closer, experiment with different angles, experiment with use of different lighting.
-focus-
The focus works well for the angle that this was shot at.
-depth of field-
The photo comes off as flat.
-lighting-
Again, the lighting makes this photo scream rainy day to me.
-any other element of the photo that stands out or is lacking in some way-
If you have the chance I reccomend that you go and take a shot of the same subject matter from a different angle, and a bit closer/tighter...this may involve getting down flat on your stomach, or placing the camera at a lower angle. Really try to focus more on the details of the leaf more than the texture of the background. Overall I think you are on the right track, but when I am shooting a photo I try to portray my subject from at least 3 different points of view. |
