::: Critique Club :::

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

Interesting 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:
The title gives it a lot ... but the picture is really quite a good candid .. I doubt she would be that happy to have people thinking she has fleas! ...

Composition:
This is not a bad shot and not a bad crop .. but it feels to me like little like something is missing ... maybe a slightly squarer crop may have worked .. with more of her ... not sure ... just keep trying and seeing what you think ...

Subject:
Meets the challenge .. .and your commentors think so too ... "Animal rights activists acting like animals?"

Technical (Colour and light):
This is fine ... I was thinking maybe the black and white is a little overkill with this shot .. It would be nice to see some colour and pinkness in her cheeks I guess ..

To grow its vote?:
Think hard about the choice of black and white in your entries . .sometimes it works and others it doesn't ,.. I am not sure which it is here .. Personally only I would love to see in colour ... (that is a personal thought only)

Summary:
I think this is a good solid shot .. and you are improving all the time .. keep it up.

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

Cheers

Kari

This is a fun photo. The title is a bit strange, but hey... Good luck in the challenge.

I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

Good expression, but needs more focus on the face. It's a pretty good capture though, and a 6 vote from me.
