Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
First Impression - the most important one:
Ok the title don't do it for me .. the picture has issues .. but this is a candid and meets the challenge.
A few things tend to slammed a bit here, titles that don't work for a picture and are required to understand the story. A picture should in general be able to stand on its own with a title to enhance it ... this title may have confused people.
Composition:
ok this is interesting ...
The two metal things in the front are really badly distracting ... using them instead to assist in cropping the image .. e.g. to the corners of the picture may have assisted.
when taking a shot think about the following:
Composition is about leading the eye into an image (painting or photo). Research shows that the eye enters bottom left and travels up to top right ("Leading Lines Rule"). Once in there, the same research tells us that the eye finds comfort when the point of interest (POI) sits on a thirds line or intersection ("the Rule of Thirds").
When cropping take this into account again .. as it will help.
Subject:
Meets the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
This is where you have problems ... drummers move hence motion blur which is fine .. but a higher shutter speed may have stopped the motion better ... its a candid so you are limited in what you can do really.
The colour is a little off ... not sure how to fix ... but trying and playing with it may help.
To grow its vote?:
Did you use a tripod? This would help eliminate the shakes and only leave the real motion blur. also think hard about composition as you are taking your shot - I find this helps heaps.
Summary:
Interesting shot .. don't scare people with titles too much ... you can share your faith without scaring people :)
Keep it up .. you will improve .. take the time to look at others works .. so you can see what make a good pic.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
Kari
