Greetings from the critique club :)
I didn´t vote in this challenge but honestly, I probably would have voted this a 5 and just moved on to the next photo in the challenge without commenting. It´s not a bad photo and the idea is not bad either but still, just not really an interesting photo as it is.
Most of that is that yellow backround, to me it just looks like you printed out a couple of photos and threw them on your couch and took a photo, uploaded to the computer and sent to this challenge. I suspect a lot of other people thougth the same and I think you know this after being here at DPC for this long but just in case someone new is reading this critique, if it looks like you went through some trouble for your entry you will score better.
I think if you had printed the same photos and then gone to another beach and put them there, it would have been so much more interesting, like if you had gone there to take newer and better photographs of the beach instead of those you printed, you know what I mean? Maybe doing a self portrait in the meantime, you being in the frame, taking pictures of the beach and be out of focus, having the focus on these same photos sticking out of the sand in the foreground?
Also I kindof agree with  surfdabbler, the lighting seems a bit wierd, with that big shadow there, is it in the print or was the lighting like that at the time?
Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus. |
