Greetings from the Critique Club...

If you request a critique from the critique club, you should always fill out your 'Photographer's Comments' field when you submit your photo. When you don't include your own thoughts on the image, you can't really expect someone else to give their time and effort to give you a critique. It makes me think that you don't care enough about your own photo to take the time to post your thoughts on it...

This photo meets the challenge but doesn't seem to go much beyond that. I don't see any particular artistic merit or visual impact in the theme or the photo. None of your comments are negative, which surprises me, but the score is below the average. Better luck next time :)

Great use of color and angles - nice cropping - the focus leaves me thinking I have one contact out though - maybe a little more angle to really give it depth?

great colors and DOF - wonder if I would like it with the closer beads more in focus than the far beads, nice image that meets the challenge - good job :)

Nice composition, but I find the shallow DOF distracting. IMO it would have been better to have had the centre in focus.

I like this. Its a hard exposure to get right. Might be a little over. Nice effort.
