Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil
Composition - Well I don't think this was the most fitting photo for the challenge. Its not that it doesn't fit. I don't like the way that the keys are separated in 2 bunches, the lights and the darks. I'd have made some of the secondary light keys to bridge to the dark for a little pseudotransition. The 2 keys in the foreground should be given a little turn or something so that they look like 2 keys. They sorta look like one if you aren't looking hard enough. There is a little too much dark area here too. There are quite a few keys there, enough to fill up a little more of the frame methinks.
Technical - Not a badly taken picture at all. Good focus, the lighting differences provide a little contrast. The medium DOF is working pretty well. The bakcground keys are visible, though not really focused like the ones in the foreground. I think you used this well to get our focus more on the front keys.
Overall - I think a little too ordinary of a subject. Its not really one we are seeing in a different light or in a different way. Its just too straight up I think to do well here. It doesn't have a lot of fancy colors. I think with the key theme it might've been better to find a ring of keys with most or all of the keys the same. It really neeeds something though to make it a little more unique. Good luck in future challenges - Bob |

| What are these keys for? Or why are there so many? To be honest, they are just a bunch of keys. I think your composition is the stongest part of this image. Technically, it is Ok but it doesn't do anything for me in the artistic/creative bit. |

| A high quality macro shot. Lighting is marvelous to add a sense of nostalgia and mystery to the image. |

Good subject.
I have a difficult time enjoying the keys fully because my attention is drawn down the line of the keys to the bottom of the picture. I think if the keys were shot landscape rather than portrait (where the straight lines were more horizontal than vertical) then the attention could center more on the keys and the potentialities they provide. The difference in the lighting between the keys at the back and the front is so great that it creates a couple of areas rather than a continuum of possibility in which all the keys exist. I would like to see a more homogenous lighting scheme (preferably darker) to hint at the potential caches locked away without these keys.
Creative take on the challenge |
