Greetings from the Critique Club

First of all, let me welcome you to DPC. I know that you registered a while ago, but it seems you have only just started submitting to the challenges.

I am sorry that this did not score higher for you as I believe it is a decent shot. Even though for me it does meet the challenge, I am thinking the only reason it could have scored below 5 is because the majority of voters did not feel it fully met the challenge topic.

I wonder if you had focused more on the fingers and the ice cube itself if you may have scored a bit higher? To my mind it is a decent shot and definitely did not deserve a 4.8. I gave it a 6.

Eggs Bubbly

Hi from the critique club

First impressions of the shot are that I don't know which bubbles you want me to look at - the ones on the eggs or the big one near top of frame. This confuses me, the poor little voter. I think that without that top bubble or if the bottom eggs were out of focus then the shot would be much stronger, and the score over the 5 mark.

Given my confusion over what you want us to look at it's hard to comment on composition. Focus is great however.

Welcome to DPC and good luck in the future challenges!
