Hello from the Critique Club!
My first impression when seeing this shot was "Wow! What a sky!!" Certainly a strong aspect in this photo and really adds some serious drama and interest to the scene.
You've got a pretty decent ranking and score with this shot, but I know the question is always, "How could I have scored higher?" It's certainly an above average shot, with a lot of good things going for it. The sky is fabulous and the colors of the Pooh Bear give an almost "super hero" quality to the toy. Your angle is also great, adding some extra interest to the photo. I think that maybe a slightly tighter crop would add to that drama---really making the Pooh seem larger than life! I think that would add to the mood that the fantastic sky sets. My only other nitpick is that Pooh's nose doesn't quite have the detail in his forehead. Overall, detail and clarity are very good on this shot, but the focus is spot on on his forehead, and I think DPC viewers typically like to see that carry through either all or most of the objects shot like this. You also had a comment about a lot of shadows in this shot....which isn't something that particularly bothers me when I look at it. In fact, I like the look of the shadow under his belly...makes it seem like he's really flying. But perhaps a hair less shadow around his eyes would help the detail you've captured shine through.
All in all, a great shot! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us at DPC! |

Amazing sky, could almost have done with using your smallest apature though to capture the detail in the clouds as well as the bear. |

Great colours. The wierd dark band through the sky is a little odd though. |

It's a little soft for normal DPC, but it's one of the better ones I've seen out of 66 so far. Good luck. |
