Greetings from the Critique Club!

Uhm, a snowfall in South Korea? Wow. I gave this a 5 during voting, because technically it is an OK shot, but not outstanding. Like that you chose to go with a low ISO and high shutter speed. If you'd had a tripod with you, you could have slowed the shutter way down and shot to get much more dof.

The hanger in the middle of the shot could have been removed, as there are already a lot of things to look at - the juice pour, the broken glass, the chain, the patch/tape, and the fittings on the machine. Find my eye roams over the picture a little too much, there should be one element that demands attention. Look at the winners of any challenge here, they are usually incredibly simple in terms of composition. Less is more!

Hope this critiqur helps, keep shooting!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Not a very interesting subject, sorry. Seems a bit flat, probably could use more contrast and saturation.
