::: Critique Club :::
Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club. I know this is your first entry ... so hope this is not too painful.
First Impression - the most important one:
The picture is a little on the small side, maximising the entrys size is a great way to create impact from a shot ... you can work a picture up to 640 on the longest side. You can also work it to 150 kbs .. which allows you much more data in a shot.
Composition:
I like the lines going backwards and draging the eye into the shot .... I looked at your portfolio .. which is still empty I am not sure what you know about the simple rules of photography ... might pay to do a search on "rule of thirds" which is one i find really handy to take note of.
Subject:
does it or doesn't it ... I think you got a lot of people not knowing what you were trying to portray. Once people can see you comments, you are ok .. but people can't during voting .. so a picture must be able to carry itself.
Technical (Colour and light):
Black and white sometimes works .. but it doesn't seem to add anything to this shot ... the colours may have worked better. the slight flaring at the top of the picture is slightly distracting as well.
To grow its vote?:
Think about how others will view the picture ... will they get it .. how much explaining do you need .. that sort of thing ... this is great to challenge peoples thinking outside the square . but sometimes that doesn't work either.
Summary:
Good picture .. I can see good things coming from you in future ... keep it up.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.
Cheers

| Sorry, I don't see technology here - just concrete and an unidentifiable object. |

| Ahh, I recognize those cinder blocks for dorm room walls anyday... Not exactly sure how this fits in the challenge, however... |
