Hello from the critique club
An appealing image that contributes well to the free study challenge
When I saw your lens details I thought wow, all that light-gathering power, only to see that you stopped down to f3.5, presumably for sufficient DOF on the candle and flame. You were right to see the mono potential in your image and I agree it is a great image, you ought to approach the candle manufacturers to use it in their advertising.
I like your composition, I like the predominant low key lighting, there is a good range of tones throughout and the depth of field works well throughout. Perhaps the only thing I might have changed would have been to turn the candle round to hide the text and an authentic quill would have been a lovely touch too.
I'm disappointed for you that it didn't get the recognition in score and comments that it deserved, it's great to see you participating at such a young age, I look forward to seeing more from you soon, I hope this helps, thanks for a great entry Daniel.
P.S.
Hope the homework went well! |
