CRITIQUE CLUB
Lighting: Gorgeous. I love the way this was lit and it really sets the mood of the photo. Because your focus is the dragonfly, the lighting around him is just enough to draw your eyes there.
Technical: All of your camera setting appear to be perfect, you are centered, and the lighting was done very professionally.
Challenge: Obviously met the challenge, but might not have been yellow enough, especially with the focus on the dragonfly.
Post Challenge suggestions: There is a slight glare or green towards the bottom that keeps catching my eye and drawing it away from the dragonfly. You might want to clean that up.
Overall: A great photo you should be proud of. I'm surprised it didn't do better, but I really think it just needed more yellow. |

| quite pretty. the angle and framing/cropping are good. i like how the dragonfly is near the bottom right corner. the colors are good. I do wish that it were a little bit brighter. I realize that this appears to be a lamp? and probably lit from the other side. still with that the bottom were a bit brighter. some extra light might bring out the color even more. a nice find. good luck in the challenge. |

| Fascinating, intriguing photo. What strikes me most is the use of light. The blue sets off the yellow quite nicely. |

| Please argue against me, but it is my impression that this is OPA. See site rules - Subject Matter/Artwork. This is a VERY well taken shot. Focus is good. Color seems right on! The glare from the lighting might need a little softening. I am open to PM, even during the challenge week. Sorry, 4, Swashbuckler |

| way cool... I like the level of exposure.... could be a little sharper.... maybe use a tripod for getting so close? the only thing that might hurt ribbon contention is the rainbow of color... maybe a mild desat of other colors... but just a little... not completely washed out.. just enough desat to bring out the yellow... |
