Nice! I like this capture a lot. Great expression. Maybe heal out the couple spots on her legs and foot? Other than that, really well done.

CRITIQUE CLUB COMMENT

IMAGE QUALITY

The nice clean, crisp image on the left is visually applealing. I think because of it's sharp focus the image sort of popped for me when I first saw it. The blurred image of the second lens doesn't really help this shot though. Your use of lighting is excellent here.

CHOICE OF SUBJECT MATTER

The subject matter (lenses) is ok, however, because the challenge is ABSTRACT it is too easily identifiable. The primary point of abstract is that it is not at easily recognizable for what it really is. The instant I saw it I knew it was a lens and using a lens for your subject in a group of photographers probably was a bad choice.

COMPOSITION

The composition is nice in my opinion, but again, the challenge is MACRO and while technically this probably qualifies as a Macro shot...it's just not close enough for us to feel a true macro feel of the shot. If you had gotten in MUCH closer you would have better met the Macro part of the challenge and probably the abstract part as well.

CREATIVITY

Unfortunately it's not overly creative...again because you're shooting a lens for a group of photographers. Obviously we're all interested in the subject matter but ESPECIALLY in this case you want to surprise the voter when the find out what it really is. If you're going to shoot a lens for your subject it should be so close up macro and so abstract that the voter slaps themselves on the head when they figure it out and say, "I should have recognized that!" I often vote a picture not just on it's technical aspects but on its creativity so I would have dinged this picture a little for that.

POST PROCESSING

Your post processing is fine...I think there wasn't a lot you could have done with this to make the actual image better. I think adding the border in post processing was a good choice...your use of the yellow border helps enhance the photo. Excellent job!

As I voter I would have scored you around 5. Though I lean toward 6 because the image is very good, I just don't think it meets the challenge of being "abstract" or "macro" enough and would have compensated by giving a 5.

I like the positioning of your subject. Very pretty eyes. Could use a little softer lighting on her face, though.

wow...not sure where to look here...wow...a couple of things...1. the bg should have been a plain colour 2. On my screen, if I actually cut out her cleavage (which is spectacular) it actually makes a better image as the attention is all on the alluring eyes, so, I reckon it might have worked better as a square crop of just her face cropped just where her fingers end...just a thought 7

Some shadows on the subject would help this a lot.
