Greetings from the Critique Club. I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:
Personal Reaction: My daughter went to school at Oregon which gives me some affinity to the school. I liked the photo right away. It would make a great poster for a dorm room or a frat house, for example. However, in the end I didn’t feel there was enough here to hold my interest. I doubt there are enough Oregon fans to carry the photo in the voting based on similar affinity.
Composition: Good composition. I like the placement of the duck, the shot glass and the U of O logo. I am normally not a border fan but yours works and you chose a great color for it, reinforcing the Oregon Ducks theme.
Technicals: Good focus and depth of field. The lighting seems a bit harsh leading to very little shadowing. It’s the shadows that give a photo depth.
Conclusions: I don’t want to read a lot into this. The challenge was intended to be whimsical and I suppose your photo was too. So let’s not over analyze. Without knowing your intentions with the photo it’s hard to draw a lot of conclusions. Next time you request a critique, it would help to have some commentary in the “Photographer’s Comments” when you submit the photo. I noticed from your portfolio that you are a relatively new member and haven’t submitted to a lot of challenges yet. This is clearly among your best work so far and shows a positive trend. I believe you have the potential to do well here and wish you good luck in future challenges.
Feel free to PM me if you’d like further dialog.
