Greetings from the Critique Club, Colette!
I didn't get to vote on this shot (sadly, didn't get to about half the round shots) but I'm happy to take a look at it now and offer some comments I hope you find helpful.
Colour, Composition, Contrast:
The use of the teleconverter at wide angle to create the vignette is a great way to use what can be an annoyance to create your theme. I like your subject, especially as against a window because it adds some interest behind the crystal, though I would have preferred maybe something brighter or something more distinctive that would tie into the theme..not sure what you have around your house for choices in that regard, but its a thought! I would have liked maybe a little more colour in the shot, perhaps from refracted light? It just seems to be missing some pop or major interest and that may be the reason this didn't get as much attention as it could have.
Now, about that finger print... seems from your comments that it was intentional of sorts, but I can't say its distinctive enough to really seem like it was on purpose. Perhaps if you had put a really heavy fingerprint it would look more intentional? In any event, I am not sure what something like that would add to the shot, and think maybe it would be nicer without out? But that's just me.. and I am speculating on something that isn't even in the picture!
Focus and Lighting:
Here is where I think the biggest improvements can be made (not that what you have is bad) but some more light from different angles would catch the cuts in the crystal bowl and give the shot more light and more colour. :) Plus, the straight lines of refracted light might contrast nicely with the prevailing round theme and offer some balance? :)
Overall, lovely technique to make a very prominent round shot! :) A few little adjustments and this is a very fun and cool photo. |

Thanks for the comments. The fingerprint is kind of a 'you are here' mark but I guess it didn't work very well.
Thanks tarique for the humour. |

| If just a touch brighter, I'd have given this a 10 |

| nice subject -shimmering crystal hanging in the darkness. Would be more ethereal without the reflections of the yard (?) and the fingerprints. |

I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often, I will polish my crystal often! :D
Gave you a high score as I assume the fingerprint is deliberate |
