::: Greetings from Critique Club :::
Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting shot, but comes off a bit too abstract for an architecture shot.
Composition:
I like the composition. It's unique and strong.
Subject:
OK, here's where I get a bit confused. The subject here is the leaf, which stands out strong against the background. However, you are entering into a challenge on architecture. Hence, I believe a deeper DoF is needed to have the building a bit more in focus. The funny thing about reflections is that you must add more DoF to have them in focus (the distance from reflector to what is being reflected is important in your DoF choice).
Technical (Color, focus, and light):
I think all technicals are good, other than the DoF issue I just talked about.
To grow its vote?:
I think if we could emphasize the building more with a deeper DoF the score would have been a LOT higher. I had to look for quite a bit to see the building. Voters don't generally give you that luxury.
Summary:
It was a creative take on the challenge and I hate to see it got bashed in voting.
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy |
