Hi Daniel from the Critique Club
You did an awful lot right for this image - the eye is invariably the point of critical focus and you worked on that. The background is pleasantly uncluttered, as you planned with your shallow depth of field.
Unfortunately the composition lets the image down, no harm in not including some of the wing if the subject of your image is the butterfly's eye, however losing just a bit of the wing looks careless rather than planned. The area of focus is underexposed for proper appreciation, and whilst not necessarily always a problem, the central placement weakens the composition in this instance. Outside of basic editing you could selectively lighten the eye area and maybe with a closer crop (possibly the left third) you could have a very lovely image there :)
In relation to a 'pink' challenge, there was certainly some lovely pink there although maybe not the main subject of the picture.
In summary, an image to re-edit to reveal it's full glory :):)
Hope that helps, feel free to PM me with any questions or comments. |
