Greetings from the Critique Club...
This is an intriguing photograph. It's a landscape that I am definitely not used to seeing and that provides a significantly higher interest level. I would have had to look at this image for quite a while to really get a grasp of what I was seeing without being able to see your own comment on the image. It's almost mystical with your description, and its very well composed. The only comment you have that has any critique is the one from ELLIPS. I'm not sure what he might not like about your composition. His comments regarding that didn't make any sense to me. I can also see detail in all your shadow area, so maybe ELLIPS just needs a monitor calibration. In fact, that brings up another point. This is a very well exposed image. When you have white and black objects in a scene, making the correct exposure can be a nightmare, and you have done very well with that.
I'm not really sure why the collective vote in this challenge didn't find this photo to be worth any more than a 5.6. I didn't vote in this challenge or look at any of the images, but in general, you gotta have something eye popping in color and subject choice to do well in any challenge. Shiny things tend to appeal to the masses :) |
