Great to get all these comments and, something to learn from each one. I had never taken a 2 sec shot before, and of course I got it wrong - thought 2 was two seconds. Now I know it is 2´´. And then I could have moved a few stops instead. Thank you all - and even 1 fave :-)
I checked in forum, and saw that I would not get DQ'ed and entered because I really wanted to see how it would do. But I do try to meet the challenge every time.

Comment by Prism:
Cool idea. A little bit too high key for me. I would have liked to at least see all the detail of the cabin on the boat as well.

Comment by graphicfunk:
Quite an understatement and certainly a pleasant artistic effect.

Interesting shot. I'll be curious to see how you did this.

Comment by flip89:
Very brave ... (I like high key photos and composition like this but I am not quite sure how this would be received here.) But your passion is quite admirable. The only criticism I can offer you is the midplacement between top and bottom makes this composition static - if you place it somewhere an inch up or down, the division between top and bottom would be unequal and would offer additional movement/tension. 9.

Very like a painting. If anything, almost too intense for my taste.

You should have placed the boat different when you first went for a picture like this. Dont like this picture, sorry.

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

First Impression - the most important one:
Ok .. so you are sick of seeing ... "where did you get all those pick feathers" .. I am surprised you just didn't admit killing a pink flamingo!

Composition:

not bad .. I would have like the shows to hit the thirds a little better .. but they are nicely hidden in the feathers.

Subject:
Yup meets the challenge.

Technical (Colour and light):
Nice lighting ... interesting colour, interesing use of DOF ... some liked others didn't .. . so that is reflected in the voting ... it is however a nice shot.

To grow its vote?:
Think about the location of the shoes in the bluster of feathers ... trying a number of different crops till one falls right may also help.

Summary:
Your highest score so far - and you only had hours - you are improving .. can't wait to see more of what you manage in a week.

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

Cheers

Kari
