Originally posted by smardaz: Hello, Critique Club again :) I'll get right to the point since you ask why the placing is so low. I hope you don't mind my being so blunt but my guess is the voters simply found this an unintersting shot. It is very mundane, and people are looking for something that catches their attention more than a close up of a drawer. If you're going to take a picture of an everyday object you need to really knock it out of the park with the processing. If I were to redo this shot I would say take a shot of the entire cabinet, perhaps converting to black and white or using a filter to really bring out the grain of the wood. Don't be discouraged, this is how we learn. Keep Shooting! :) J

thanks for the explanation, I'll try to make better next time! :)

thanks for the welcome! :)

a great problem with this shot was the light: it was taken near to the sunset, I had a very short range of color and the high ISO generated the noise (next time I have to go out earlier :P )

post processing for me is a great lack and I have to work a lot to learn it well (indeed, this is my first experiment with B/W PP)

contests are a great impulse to improve my skills and learn from my mistakes! ^_^

thanks to all for comments and votes

this is not a good placement, but there was so many photos of very high level!

it was a good way to brake the ice anyway ;)
