Critique Club:
Meeting the Challenge: Great job of this
Composition: I prefer a non-centered focal point, but this symmetrical (sp?) design seems to work fine for this shot. I might have cropped just a little bit closer to avoid that white spot at the top that distracts me a bit.
Technical Quality: You caught the grain, dings, and warmth of this wood extremely well! I like the way the age shows in this wood. For some reason, the right side seems a bit less focused than the left, even with your 8 aperture. Likely due to the macro nature of the shot?? No post-processing problems noted. This is a good looking shot for as long as it was exposed.
Creativity: If this wood hadn't been so weathered, you would have had a very dull shot. Nice use of an otherwise likely boring subject. Even if this was the only thing you could find to shoot, it's a very interesting shot to me.
Conclusion: Interesting shot with good technical quality, and tons of warmth and character.

Thanks for all the comments. Thought I'd let you know this is actually an inlay on a small wooden box. The inlay is about 2cm x 2cm. This was the only interesting square thing I could find in the house!

| Nice colors but the general subject here doesn't have a lot of appeal to me. - Inspzil |

| This is pretty neat. I know you wanted to show the square but I feel like I would like to see more of the floor perhaps at an angle. |

| Very nice shot. Was this a head-on shot, or is the square a little skewed? Longer exposer would have improved the light. 7 |
