Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) This is going to be a very difficuot photograph for me to critique. I believe the content of your photograph is rather weak and the composition does nothing to draw the eye into the picture. If the viewer is not familiar with shucking oysters, he is not going to understand what is happening in this photograph.
(2) BACKGROUND The background is a little cluttered. There is not enough showing for someone to get a real feel of "place".
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL The DOF is very good, all of the important parts are in sharp focus. I feel a bit distracted by having only the tiniest bit of a finger on the left side. I believe it would have been better to include more of that hand. It might have conveyed the story in a stronger way. I also feel that a little more light on the glove would have brought out some details there. The glove is a bit "muddy" and it is difficult to see beyond the basic shape.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is good. Saturation is good. Your cropping may be a bit tight. If you had included more of the hand on the left, and the entire plate, I would not feel so much like something is missing.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE I am not sure how this is a cliche. I do not believe I have ever seen a picture of an oyster shucker before. I personally do not mark people down for not meeting the challenge, but there are many other photographers that do.
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is alright. The way you executed it is alright. I think this is a photograph that you may wish to re-shoot under different lighting conditions. The potential here is better than the photo you have created. Good luck on future challenges. |

| Lighten it up a little and don't crop it quite so closely. Give us all the plate, at least. sure glad you didn't make us look at this open with that thing inside the shell. They are sickening looking in my opinion and taste worse than they look. My like of the oyster is worth a 1 and my feeling about the photo is a 7. Since it is a photograph challenge guess you get the a 6. |
