Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Ugly to Lovely (Standard Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-5DS R
Lens: Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro MF
Location: Colorado
Date: Dec 12, 2016
Aperture: 6.3
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/5
Date Uploaded: Dec 12, 2016

 Shot from above with camera mounted to tripod and tethered to PC to view composition and focus. The MP-E has a ridiculous DOF and is a pain to line up at x5 magnification.
Lit with just a tungsten desk lamp to camera left.

Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that contributes to the challenge

Your image which isquite abstract to begin with is further enhanced through your choice of title making the viewer question what it is we have here, which is good. Although I̢۪ve never had the opportunity to use this lens I can understand what you mean about the DOF and focussing issues. Your choice of focus point is good and accurate and the DOF enhances the end result in an effective way. The golden colour is appealing and the lighting good. So, all in all, its a very competent shot, however, in terms of the challenge the link between ugliness and beauty is rather tenuous and I would imagine the reason why your image failed to achieve a higher score. I see that this is only your third entry, please continue to contribute Kyle, your technique is good and you will get better at interpreting the challenge briefs.
