GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB!!



I apologize in advance if the critique seems a bit brief, as I don't find much room for improvement on the basics. Composition, focus, and lighting are all fine... so Ill leave a few words on my personal 'reactions' to this picture.

Personally, and I emphasize 'personally' because others below disagree, I dont think the photo conveys much 'heritage' of the Tanjong Malim. To me these windows aren't 'obviously eastern', and if asked to guess, I wouldnt even know what culture to guess these windows came from. The tea kettle, as a nice clue, is too hard to see in this composition.

I seem to be yearning for something 'more distinct', and I think that by either pulling back and capturing more of the building with its architectural details, or getting closer in intimate with some of these details, you could have captured this 'heritage' a little better.

Just a word of sympathy for your score on this one. I hope it doesn't get you down. I hardly ever tell people what I vote on their pictures, but if it's any help, I gave you an 8 on this. After looking at some of the pic's that scored higher I felt compelled to comment. I don't understand how you possibly scored this low on this photo. It really has a lot of character. I think you got a bad deal! Keep up the good work, and don't change because of low scores like this :)

Tanjong Malim, does that mean home in another language? Good photo, but looks like some kind of robot head poking out the window.

This is marvellous. Sometimes to offer critique is simply misplaced - I just like it. A lot.

nice pattern and off symmetry. I also like your perspective. What is that in the window though? :) 7

I like the symmetry and the LACK of symmetry. The texture is very nice.
