Critique Club Review:

Color does seem a bit off. The parts that should be white, aren't which I think has people seeing green for some reason.

Lighting as others have mentioned is a bit harsh, and combined with the processing leaves the picture looking almost as if it was over sharpened.

The border does compete with the picture a bit. A lighter touch (thinner border) would have helped here.

The upper left slice, seems a bit shadowed as it does not have highlights similar to the other slices.

Focus and depth of field are very good.

Without doubt one of my favourites of this long gone challenge. I voted 8 but forgot to comment. I like the still life a lot. Nice composition.

This is a wonderful image! I love the tones and lighting - definitely gives it a vintage feel. The composition is very good, too - nicely balanced. Congrats on a very good score and a top 15!

Hello from the Critique Club,

Congratulations on your top 20 placement. I really like the composition and post processing of this image. Even the wide border works well, as it helps to draw out the black tones scattered throughout the image. The one weakness I see is that the depth of focus is really shallow. The sharp focus on the handwriting was critical for this image, as it provides the focal point in the image as to why all of those objects are together. But the soft focus on the larger objects, in particular the metallic one at the bottom of the image, tends to hold my attention longer than the handwriting itself. I see by your camera settings that your aperture is relatively wide open. Stopping down just a bit would have helped the soft focus issue. Of course, this is only my opinion and anytime your score is above a 6, your final placement is often related to how people connect to the photo more than on the small technical shortcomings. Nice job and a wonderful entry.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

Composition is well placed. Image seems a bit green, but that is probably my monitor. Anyway, overall a good shot.
