From the Critique club.
Hi,
I like the composition of this image. The diagonal lines made by the fingers are nicely balanced by the antidiagonal made by the two nails which happen to be the center of interest. The focus on the dirty fingers are clear and the dirt does justice to the challenge title. The overall image is nice but as a critique I would like to add somethings just to make it perfect maybe. There is a little harsh shadow cast on the ring finger which might be removed by a reflector or by repositioning the finger. This would add to the information of the image. This would also cause both the nails to be prominent to the same degree maybe creating a tension in the pic which has to be modulated then so that one of them is brighter or has more contrast than the other. After I have seen these two fingers my eyes travel to the palm which goes nicely out of focus to indicate depth and then to the index finger. Here I do not see any dirt, which might be interesting (if it was in focus, then it would be a theme) but it would also be important to have specks on them to make the pic harmonious.
Just a note on the concept, how about positioning the hand so that it is holding something (this pose looks and feels a bit tedious) and is at rest. This would most probably indicate the profession as well as the tired nature of the hands after the work. There is nothing in the technical side that I can think of.
This is a critique which is based on my meagre knowledge of composition and photography and would like to have feedback if you have ways to improve this cririque.
With regards
Kausik |

| I think this would work better in monotone, with some REALLY aggressive contrast... |

| Not bad. It's hard to make them look really dirty in a few minutes isn't it? At least that's what I found out. 6 |
