Old Charm Dresser

Comment by Judi:
Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: I like the idea and the richness of the dresser. However, I don't like the clutter on top and around the dresser, especially the open doorway and the object on the lower right of the item. Maybe try a different angle for this image. There are two ornaments (??) on the lower part of the dresser...I can understand the candle but I can't make out the one on the right, therefore I cannot relate it to the story. That is basically what you have to think about...telling a story. If any part of that image is not necessary...then get rid of it.

Technical: I like the lighting and the focus for the image. I can see you have cropped in, judging by your Aperture and the Focal Range. I do like the richness of that wood...and that really does hold the viewers attention...but as I said before the clutter is damaging to not only your image but your score.

Overall: Great try...and a beautiful sample of a piece of Furniture...but wrong composition for the best way to display this subject.

NOTE - I was just about to finish this critique when I read your about. Why do you crop and resize so close to opening the image. You never know when this would make a great print. I always do any adjustments first and save as a PSD. I also save as a new image in JPEG and that is the one I will then open and crop/resize/sharpen/sfw. It gives you greater control when you are working on a larger image.

Wow! I would NOT want to meet that tiger! :) Excellent capture. I like how lush and green the grass looks - but the tiger also looks a little green. Is it possible to fix that, I wonder? Otherwise awesome shot.

I can see him. I'm just not sure what I think though, heh. There's a combination of "what the hell" and "awww."

Nice composition and colors. The seam and the wrinkles in the fabric are a little distracting for me. Perhaps try moving the subject away from the background a bit and blur with a wider aperture?
