Hi, I am Kari and from the critique club.
Welcome to DPC and your first challenge.
Great fun to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.
First Impression - the most important one:
What an interesting picture, lots of swirls and twirls to take my eye.
Composition:
This looks quite natural, you just tipped the bowl over and took the shot didn't you? As it looks natural it looks and feels good to the viewer.
Subject:
Nice choice of subject matter, it defiantely meets the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
The picutre is cropped very centred in the frame. Looking at the rule of thirds is a good tip. Try looking here for a simple explaination here and click on rule of thirds for a brief explaination. This is a good way to look at work and create interest to the subject.
To grow its vote?:
Look at the various rules, good start is thirds, try cropping and re-cropping prior to entry to find what you think is the best way. Keep entering, and having fun with you pictures.
Also, when you resize your photos try to make sure that the longest side is 640 - this maximises your image. Take time with your photo programme to also learn how to maximise the amount of detail to the maximum allowed file size.
Summary:
Well done, keep it up.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
