| Very nice competition, and I love how dark this is... I wonder if this would be like the push processing that jmsetzler was talking about today... it looks kind of underexposed, but that could just be my amateur eye looking at it. this is cool!! :) |

Critique Club Comments by Grayce
The low key process works very well with this subject. This meets the challenge nicely, and is artsy to boot!!! I like that. Keeping this as a black and white picture was a good choice. It makes the eye study the form as there are no distractions.
The flare draws attention, perhaps more than it deserves, but it does convey the glaring quality of the metal.
I love that you used a black bg for this. It really helps the subject pop.
OVer all I like this. Good job!
Regards,

Kavey Critique
Initial thoughts
Nice subtle image – great study of an interesting bit of equipment.
Composition/ Content
I really like that the wheel is cropped – it makes it more abstract than a picture of a whole unicycle might be.
I also like the angle of the sticky-uppy rod, though I think a slightly greater angle, putting the seat further into a corner, would be better still.
My only criticism of the contents lies in the way the seat fades into the background. I think I̢۪d like a little more lighting on it to bring it out more.
I like the flare from the light but not necessarily it’s position in the frame – I’d be interested to see other shots that have that flare in slightly different positions.
Background
Rich black is good, though I am not sure that I like the way that some of the tyre and the seat fade into it. Without seeing the same shot on a different background, I have to admit that I am not sure!
Fits The Challenge
Yes, and is a little unusual too.
My Opinion On The Photo
I like the low key choice and the abstract nature but the composition doesn̢۪t quite click for me.

| Looks a little odd with half the wheel missing and someone`s nicked your handlebars ;-) |

| I'm trying to figure out how to ride one of these! This shot really goes far in celebrating the unicycle. |

One of the quirkier forms of transportation this week...!
This shot has been set up well but it's a pity you caught the glare of the flash/lighting on the frame of the unicycle. One of the more interesting opfferings this week. |

| LOVE the moody lighting on the chrome, and that gleam below the logo. the black bg is very well done. the shot is a hair soft, not sure where you locked focus. might want to have bright lights on to focus (then switch off AF) and then turn off for shooting. could use a little more light on the seat perhaps, but that's a nitpick. A very unique and pleasing interpretation. |

I think this is a very good composition. At first glance some may think that the reflection off the main shaft is an error, but I feel that it adds to the shot by showing us that this ain't no poor mans uni, it's a high end well cared for piece.
I like the seat moving off to the right, and the black background helps focus the attention to the uni. You have a smaller space on the left of the wheel as opposed to the right side, not enough to make my scoring different, but som LMV's may nit over it.
Overall, a very pleasing shot and well done! 8 -danny |
