CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE
by karmat
I like the dramatic angle you have chosen to present this with. It really adds interest to the shot, and makes it different. I also like that it is place in the lower left and in a sense, leads the viewer's eyes up and into the frame. I think the positioning of it gives a stable feeling to the picture, and a solid place to "rest the eyes."
To make it stronger, I think it may have been beneficial to either present it in color, or use more contrast in the bw. Right now, it is a muddled look to me, no distinct black or white, or even dark/light gray -- all of the grays are sort of in the middle of the spectrum. I think a crisply focused shot in color would have also had a nice effect.
Finally, the shot looks a little grainy to me. I understand this may be intentional sometimes, but I'm not sure it is truly effective here. Maybe a lower ISO would have eliminated some of that.
If you have questions or comments, please let me know. Best to you in future challenges! |

| by shooting this image at an angle i think you may have taken away from the end result, i may have taken it straight on to get a better effect, however, i like the idea 4 |

| I like the use of black and white, but this image is too plain. Not to mention it is photographed at a strange angle. Maybe if you photographed more of the car, the picture would create more of a mood. |

| nice emblem, however I'd like to see more contrast and tones. Try playing around with the Levels functions in Photoshop or Histograms Adjustments in Paint Shop Pro. Jacko. |

| Nice grain and perspective. The abstractness of this adds to the "allure" of what you've achieved here. It would have been nice to have the "star" a bit shinier, but that is a small criticism. Overall, high marks for this one. |
