From the Critique Club
OK keeping it real here! I think your photograph looks good and defiantly meet the challenge. I think the separation of the leaf and stitching back together is neat. I have not seen that before and It looks good. You focal point is good and the lighting is great. But I do have a few issues with the photograph that IMO kept it from going above 6.
1. I think the DOF is a little to shallow. I would of loved to see the complete leaf and stitching in focus.
2. To be honest and I maybe wrong but the lady bug looks fake. The reflection across the back is sold from one wing to the other and should be separated as the wings are.
3. The straight line on the cut leaf seams to me it would of been better, compositionally, if it was on more of a tilt in relation to the photograph instead of the top ending up near center.
Overall a good photograph that meet the challenge. Good light with good color along with creativity pushed your score upward. A few minor adjustments and I believe it would of ended up in the 6 club.
I hope you find this critique helpful and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.
regards,
SDW |

| Good idea and well executed. I think that the string alone evokes enough thought. I would have done without the bug, or am I missing the point? Great job nonetheless. Like it. |

| Although I like this, the line running in the leaf under the ladybug is distracting to me. |
