Critique Club Review:

I just like sitting here and looking at this one... The shapes seem to change as you look at them, along the bottom of the frame.

Focus and depth of field are done very well. Color, saturation and hue are fine. The whites could be a little bit brighter for me. Contrast and lighting are well done. Detail is not lost in the brights or the darks.

I'm not sure how you could have done it, but the only thing I see is that the pattern seems to run off the edge. Maybe catch it along the lines of the patter for the edge of the frame. But that would be really tough.

Very nice picture.

It took me a minute of looking at this, but once I pictured it as a large piece of artwork hanging up in a home, I loved it. 9.
