Wery expensive shot since I had to break all the glass in my bedroom window. It was also very cold in the room until I got new glass two days later :)

::: Critique Club :::

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

First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting framing here .. a little soft on the focus ...

Composition:
I like that the boat is in the single frame here ... it works on that ... the angle of the pic also works to me.

Subject:
meets the challenge .. I really hope this wasn't really your bedroom .. cos no shot is worth getting pnuemonia.

Technical (Colour and light):
I like the darkness it adds to the mood .. but the shot itself is soft and a little out of focus.

To grow its vote?:
I think this did well ... it is a solid shot .. and nicely emotive .. the sky being blue may have added .1 but I think that is all ...

Summary:
Your work is a little like mine in consistency going through periods of fantastic and ok .. but never "bad" ... keep up the work towards the consistency and improvement.

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

Cheers

Kari

Object outside the window isn't clear

Cool window you found there, too bad the sky isn´t breattaking, that would have nailed this shot.

I really like this photo. Not sure but something is missing.

Good subject and emotion. 9.

This is nice. Good colors, just enough light in the frame itself to give it some character. 7

Nice composition and beautiful sky
04/29/2006 06:18:21 PM
seems soft and there isnt' really a subject in this photo.

Great choice of window frame and subject. Lacking a bit of sharpness - well, not the glass - but in the picture itself.
04/29/2006 01:06:25 PM
the window there is interestin by itself, but it isn't framing the point of interest like it should be... or maybe I'm wrong, maybe it is framing the broken glass... maybe it could have used a little bit longer exposure

Very effective image, love the broken glass. Good luck.

The theme in this challenge was to frame something and in your photo there is not much interesting happening inside the frame.
04/29/2006 07:25:31 AM
I like the composition. IMO the light could be better
04/29/2006 06:29:31 AM
I love the combination between the broken glass window and the dramatic clouds away over the horizon. Maybe you could have cropped a little the dark (black) area around the window.
04/28/2006 06:18:22 PM
Did you break it for the photograph? :-)
Didn't think so! The colours are good, good setup, good idea but the focus is a bit poor. Contrast a bit too much, making white lines along with dark ones. Still overall a fine picture.

INteresting photo.
04/28/2006 07:02:40 AM
crop that right down, the black on the sides is sucking all the energy out of your composition IMO
04/25/2006 10:36:45 PM
very cool! 9
04/25/2006 10:19:57 PM
i dont care for the object just outside of the window but i really like the jagged edges
04/25/2006 10:06:46 PM
Very nice!
04/25/2006 12:16:35 PM
A little soft. The subject in the back is obscure enough that we cn't figure out what it is. I wish it wasn't there. 5

A nicely shattered piece of the past - pity about the item that cuts the horizon.
