::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

The critique I am doing is for "the magic of wishes"

First Impression - the most important one:
I love it ... it took my breath away and left me wishing for more.

Composition:
Interesting use of composition. I would loved to have had more details about what you were

trying to achieve with the shot, as it helps with critiquing. Apart from that, the comments you

recieved are positive with a couple to note:

Careful with neat image, it takes away to texture if used too heavily.
Good concept and great idea!

Subject:
I like the colours ... and how you have used them to meet the challenge 100%..

Technical (Colour and light):
Well lit with good bold use of colour.

To grow its vote?:
Probably a little much in the neat image. but I really think an awesome shot .. and defiantely

was in with a chance .. I just can't figure out the one and two.

Summary:
I think this is a cool picture, well executed with only minor if any issues .. you really did do

good..

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Nice work, love the way you managed to keep it althogether, expose over time and maintain the skintones.

Very cool capture. I'm guessing this is some sort of 'paint with light' effect? The color saturation is really nice and I like the composition used. I can see areas of the black background that are somewhat redish in tone on my monitor. Not sure if it's remnants from post processing or the actual wall behind the subject. Perhaps adjusting exposure compensation in the RAW stage or tweaking levels/curves in p-shop may help with this? Just my opinion, nice shot nonetheless.... 8

Perhaps a little too much neat image (I like to see texture in skin to keep it real), but I really do like the idea here!

Very well done. It reminds me of some of the light entries from the Mother challenge. I like the rainbow of colors against the black background.
