Critique Club Review:
Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are very realistic, skin tones are natural.
Brightness and contrast: Highlights are not blown out, details are held in the shadows.
Focus and depth of field: Focus is nice and sharp. Depth of field is well used to remove any disracting background.
This is an excellent photo, and no surprise that it finished as well as it did. The message comes across very clearly, and the title is not really needed to express the message. Very strong image.
I love the way the girl's arms are used as a frame within a frame. Attention is driven straight to the eyes and face, and never allowed to leave.
It's hard to critique images that finish this high in the voting. If there were a lot to fix, they wouldn't score this well.
About the only things I see, and they are minor, are the partial object (goat) in the lower left corner which is a tiny bit distracting. The out of focus stick and wire in front of her hands, also a tiny bit distracting. And even smaller yet, the hair at the back of her head, and the fold of her robe at bottom left go a tiny bit soft.
None of these are huge.
This is an excellent piece of work, and please accept my congratulations on your well deserved finish. |

| I'm not sure if the child represents hope or despaire; I think something else in the frame could strengthen hope. |
