Critique Club Critique

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) Well composed. It is almost reminiscent of a photo of many CDs, and only upon closer inspection the real subject is revealed. The scene is also very interesting, making this a photograph that keeps the attention of the viewer for a long period of time. The longer one looks at it, the more interesting details come to light. This is a photograph that would not do as well in a thumbnail view, as many of the really interesting details are lost.

(2) BACKGROUND This is really not as issue with this photograph, as the subject and background are one.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Exposure is good. Composition is strong.

(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL The blue cast to everything puts a surreal feeling into the photograph, as well as adding to the feeling of cold. The surreal feeling is almost like pulling the viewer into a dream world. This is one of the dominate aspects of this photograph.

(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge.

(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO A very interesting photograph that needs more than the typical 2 second viewing. I love the random chaos of it all.

I'm not usually crazy for this type of color treatment. However, here I think it works very well and added to the shot. Like this one and hope you do well with it. Good work.

Nice concept, but the coloring throws it off (IMHO)

Great idea and interesting lightplay but colours just a bit yucky to get highest score.

The colors almost remind of of CD's. Good job.

pretty. And they are real tacks! Good abstract shot. Would have liked a slightly better focus or DOF but the composition and colors work. 7 from me!

Beautiful choice of colors & lighting angles. Nice rhythm set by tacks. I have the impression that the pink light areas have blown highlights because there seems to be great loss of detail. Similarly, the shadows seem a little strong on the some blue tacks. Some of this effect may have been purposeful, but I'd be happier to see a bit less of it.

The lighting effects here are simple but so effective. A powerful image.
