Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are accurate and not over saturated.

Brightness and Contrast: Shadows hold nice detail, but hightlight areas, especially where the water cascades over the rock, are blown out and featureless.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is nice and sharp. Depth of field is appropriated for this subject.

I think you already know what killed your score. It isn't a light bulb. Personally I don't vote ones for not meeting challenge, but you can see how many there are that do. Take heart from the ones who voted at the other end, and voted how they liked the image independent of the challenge subject.

I like the way you used the branches to frame the waterfall. A nice touch. The slower exposure to give the water a motion blur worked well too, and it is not so long that that it gives it the overworked cliche of the smokey foggy effect.

You may have won the brown ribbon, but you did it with a pretty nice picture.

Hope to see you in another challenge soon.

light bulb?

I might be missing something here but this appears to be in the wrong challenge.

Why bother for a brown?

Having a bright boulder front and center takes away from the main subject of the image. Getting a bit closer might eliminate the bright rock, display more of the waterfall advantageously, and allow the green leaves framing it to take less room and have a more subdued role. It probably is a wonderful place, but having this in the Light Bulb challenge looks like a mistake (if so, please accept my sympathy -- it would be nice to have a way for the site council to approve withdrawal of such mistakes; if not an error, I'll be interested in learning the connection to the topic).

hmmm. not sure I see the relationship here.

I'd be hard pressed to understand the relevance to the topic at hand, namely...."Light Bulb".
07/01/2008 11:40:58 AM
I'm guessing entered in the wrong challenge maybe?

Nice abstract bulb.
06/30/2008 12:01:22 PM
Not sure I get the relevance to the challenge...
06/30/2008 11:04:41 AM
??? Sorry, but I don't get it. Is this a mistake, meant to be in the upcoming free study perhaps?
06/30/2008 08:57:44 AM
Um, where's the lightbulb. I think this is for the rural challenge.
06/30/2008 07:50:05 AM

06/30/2008 02:27:48 AM
DNMC ......cool photo tho!
06/30/2008 01:35:40 AM
I might be wrong here but are you sure you entered the right challenge? How can this be lightbulb? A nice shot but it has to be DNMC for me I afraid.
06/30/2008 01:25:13 AM
oops
06/30/2008 12:35:41 AM
I'll keep looking for the light bulb. When I find it, I'll raise your score.
06/30/2008 12:15:13 AM

06/30/2008 12:04:24 AM
