hello from the critique club
my name is christian, and i'm a memeber of the CC. if you have any questions about this critique, please pm me and i'll try to help with anything i can.
a very interesting image. techincally very good, with the receedihng lines of the glasses drawing you in. the texture and detail of the glass itself are well rendered too.
however, i find the colour on the background becomes overpowering and distracting. i think it may be the flatness and purity of the tone that works agains the image. with perhaps a bit more variation of tone in the background, it would bring the eye in to the glasses more, focus our attention. i also find the border very distracting to your image. it sets up an unpleasant dissonance, and actively draws the eye from your subject. lastly, i think the glasses could be improved by a little darker tones on some of the reflections. the midtones do tend to blur together.
so, a very nice image that, with a little work, could be outstanding. well done indeed.
if you have any qyestions about this crit, please pm me.
best wishes,
c. |

| Cool. Most original of my first 90 i've seen. Only detracting feature is the light/glare reflection of the glasses. Otherwise well done. 8 |

Wowsers! Quite the vivid presentation here. Almost, but not quite too much:-)
I actually like it. Very eyecatching. A nice take...and execution of a classic theme. Nice job. |

| I love the frame! (this is coming from a frame hater unless it's all black or white, too :-) Technically, this seems pretty much perfect. I have to try this sometime. |

| Excellent setup and execution, but I'm not too fussed about the chosen colours and border effect. |

| Great photo. I did this once for a photo class. The only difference is I didn't use any color as my background. Wonderful and creative idea. |
