Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi aKiwi...

This image seems to meet the challenge well and it received a good average score in the end. Critique on this one is a bit difficult. I can't say that I would change anything about it. It appears that you achieved your objective. There is nothing that could be added or removed that would make a significant change in the presentation.

Now, from a personal standpoint...

What WAS your objective with this photo? Is it a design for the sole purpose of the challenge? What does the image say to you? What does it say about you? Is there emotional value here? Is music a part of your personality?

Keep up the good work :)

...Yep! But a tad too bright for my tastes, otherwise a good implimentation of the challenge.

lovely idea.

Nice idea and a good setup. Maybe you should have given it a more croping or somehow let the CD-stack through the whole frame. Did you try another angel, f. instance from a lower angel and use shallower DOF, keeping the vinyl and closebye CD´s in focus but blurring out other CD´s. Just an idea. Fine image.

Strong white background and black border are good for this sort of shot. I like the idea and the angle. Good shot.

A "goodie". That's a matter of opinion! However this is a good picture.

well executed.

I was going to take this exact shot. I didn;t think it would score well. It will be interesting to see how it does.

Very nice composition. Idea doesn't really do much for me. These concepts have been done too many times for me to care much.

Very clean and classy look - well done. The overall style matches the style of that album cover really well, although this style probably won't appeal to everybody.

This would have been a 9 or a ten witht the exception of three things. First and most obvious to me---the yellow stain and awkward shadow in the middle left near the end of the cd's. Secondly, i think that the diagonal of the CD's should have been a diagonal of the rectangular frame. Lastly, it would have been more effective (even without the diagonals alligned) if the cd's went all the way across.

Perhaps is too bright for me. But, I think it´s a good idea. The composition is good, too. And really meets the challenge. 7

The stark white background seems to be 'missing' something. Neat concept though.

Creative, and the pic looks technically good too. Nice job.
