::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Ok .. so you are sick of seeing ... "where did you get all those pick feathers" .. I am surprised you just didn't admit killing a pink flamingo!

Composition:

not bad .. I would have like the shows to hit the thirds a little better .. but they are nicely hidden in the feathers.

Subject:
Yup meets the challenge.

Technical (Colour and light):
Nice lighting ... interesting colour, interesing use of DOF ... some liked others didn't .. . so that is reflected in the voting ... it is however a nice shot.

To grow its vote?:
Think about the location of the shoes in the bluster of feathers ... trying a number of different crops till one falls right may also help.

Summary:
Your highest score so far - and you only had hours - you are improving .. can't wait to see more of what you manage in a week.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Found them in an abandoned house at the harbour here in Copenhagen. I have a feeling it was a crime scene (photo-shooting).

Center bottom feathers are distracting -- out of focus and obscure the shoes.

I tried this setup, didn't like it (in my case) ... the shoes just tend to get lost in the feathers ...

Seems to be a little out of focus, maybe to much of one thing could be simplified to attract a better visual on the subject. It fits the challenge well though.
