------------****Greetings from the critique club****------------
I think this was a really creative idea for the negative image challenge and you executed your idea very well. As with many images in this challenge with very strong colors after inversion they could be hard to look at and your image is very easy on the eyes and the bubbles make me want to see closer into the them to see the details.
As far as composition goes I think it is really well done. I may have cropped slightly differently by having the bubbles abit higher up and the wand slightly to the right to make use of the rule of thirds. This woud have placed the wand in one of the places the eye is most drawn to and from there it would follow the bubbles. Also I can faintly see some blueish tint in the background underneath the bubbles which can be a small distraction. (Although I didn't notice them at first.)
I think the post processing would have helped your score abit, although I know it is difficult when working with a negative image. I noticed that you used invert to make you image negative. I would suggest using curves instead as it allows you to have more tonal control over the image, you simply change the curves low point to the high point and vice versa or from this / to this \. I hope that makes sense. Your bubbles seems abit overblown and it is hard to distinguish where the bubble ends and the background begins in some parts. Although I am not sure if this was intentional or not I could see voters taking a point away for that. The other thing that really strikes mee is that you are very blue and there is no change in the blue from your hair, shirt and skin tone and I am not sure how that is and perhaps voters who didn't comment may have thought this also and took a point down also. So maybe where shirt that was different than your skin or even some with lots of different colors to see how that would have looked.
Overall I think this image was really well done and as I critiqued it I liked it more. The border I think worked for your image too. The inside of the bubbles are great and it was a creative and well thought out idea. I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any more questions feel free to send me a PM. |
