Howdy from the Critique Club!
To tell you the truth, I have no idea how this photo fits the challenge it was entered in. When i look reeally hard, i see a Chinese hat(canoe) and a face of ropes. Im not sure if that is what you are trying to convey though, and that is your problem here. But it might just be me, who knows.
From a more technical perspective, I feel the sepia works wonderfully for the scene at hand. It makes me think and feel like the scene is a bit warm and dust, maybe untouched by most of the everyday world. Post processing feels perfect on the lower half of the image, but the upper half jsut doesnt pop at all. Maybe some dodging/burning might have helped?
One thing that really does grab me in this photo is the wide variety of patterns and lines. It gets more complicated the more you look, and that makes it more fun and interesting then other photos.
Sorry if i misunderstood your photo, i will send other critiquer your way for a more benificial critique. |
