Hand held. Taken at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Travelled up there to find interesting subjects for this challenge. I settled on this one, a little out of the box, but I am most of the time. Oh, by the way this is a whales jaw.

Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Composition - Cute title to go with this picture. Must be a sperm whale or some other toothed whale. Damn clear for a 1 sec exposure. Color is definitely sort of yellow. The subject is relatively interesting but unfortunately not something I would ever consider hanging on a wall in my home or garage. The detail of this photo is very good. The highlights on the tops of the teeth look great.

Technical - This is very very clear for a one second exp. but fairly shallow for f11. This may have something to do with the long exp. but I can't be sure. The white balance is probably the culprit of the yellowness of the pic. I keep blaming it for my pics anyway :) Framing is about as good as I think one can expect for a photo like this. For any other challenge BUT yellow, I would expect you'd mess with the colors a bit to make them a little less.... well, yellow. But for this challenge, it works.

Overall - Not a badly taken photo, but not a terribly interesting one. When I think, "would I hang this on my wall given any improvement that could be made were done?" The answer is definitely not as long as I am married. This is a picture that I could definitely see being used in something like a textbook though. It has some value methinks, just not as "art" in my terms anyway. Good luck in the upcoming challenges autool. - Inspzil

Is that a cavity on the bicuspid. Didn't know they had refined carbohydrates back then. A little bleaching would help this smile. Interestingly different photo.

Your focus in this shot is really good. It's an interesting shot with several distinct textures / surfaces to look at. Good work

This one made me sick to my stomach, but I have to give a decent score because the composition and title are so catchy.
