nidiciComment by BMacD: Hi! Hereâs a comment from the Critique Club.
First Impression: Eye drawn to the bright green leaves, then moves over to the right corner, down and then back to the leaves.
Composition: Good placement of the green leaves, and an effective background. Nice contrast. After looking at it a little longer, my eye keeps getting drawn to the dark spot just right of the plant. Looks like an âeye.â My mind is trying to see a head in the bark!
Subject: Think you met the challenge well.
Technical: Picture lacks sharpness. As if the focus is off. The leaves need to be more crisp. They look flat. Color is there, but not the plant detail. DOF looks good. This could be as a result of the ISO:400, or the file size you submitted. Reviewing your file size, I see you didnât take advantage of the 640 max dimension, and your file size was well below the 150k allowed. (624 X 437, 115k)
Summary: Nice picture! Good eye and kudos for having your camera handy! I think you captured the theme well. Good burst of color on a grey/black background! Better detail on the green leaves would have helped.
