Spoolsby
HomeGrownComment by amber: Hi from the Critique Club!
Well done on scoring so high with your first challenge entry:))
This is a simple, crisp, clean image; elements that always go down well with the voters.
The black background is ideal for showcasing the spools. However I think that the big expanse on the right is too big and keeps pulling the eye over to that area, trying to dominate the image. It feels like something is missing, that something should be there. The space is nearly equal in size to the space taken up by your subject, and divides the image in half. If you took away nearly half the negative space or used portrait instead of landscape, it would perhaps enhance your image even more.
The lighting has caught the silk thread just right, helping the colours to be luminous, whilst still managing to capture the details.
You have chosen the colours well as they blend well together and none stand out from the rest, creating nice harmony and balance.
You have used the classic triangle composition to your advantage, creating a pleasing composition, and the focus is spot on.
A really pleasing image.
